ABSTRACT

The primary travel essays for the analysis in this article are Samyuhongbodonggi, Deunghambyukrugi and Kwanhapdukpigi which have been negligent compared to the other works of Lee Ok. The argument was made by paying attention to a type of method Lee Ok used to project his subjective emotions on his essays, and to the method of description that was applied in order to reveal his thoughts on aesthetic. Lee Ok has used listing and repetition as the propping method of description. This article, on the other hand, focuses on the contrast. He does not allude the Neo-Confucianism to the nature and natural scenery. Therefore, the focus is on capturing the beauty of the moment instead of interpreting the logic of the Neo-Confucianism. The beauty of the moment is being emphasized greatly by the contrast, which can be subdivided into the contrast between the past and the present, the reality and the fantasy and the contrast in emotions. In each of his works, he expresses his personal emotions at the scene of the nature, and permeates his yearning and melancholy at the conclusion feeling that the beauty is just a moment, not eternal. The absoluteness of the moment is endowed as Lee Ok implies his regret and shocks on the unrepeatable moment by the contrast. The contrast highlights the concept of the beauty of the moment and definitizes its non-everlasting quality. This acknowledges that nothing is eternal, and authorizes the absoluteness to the moment. This is Lee Ok's literature aesthetic based on the concept of the beauty.
