ABSTRACT

This is a follow-up study of 'The feature of discourse and the structure of 『혼불』'. The original story has three distinctive Korean narrative methods. First, it was applied to unfold the plot through oral statement and it affected the character and its plot. Second, it transformed the colloquial narrative method centering on the reality and direct communication by borrowing the 'compilation' of sentences. Third, the explanation of the writer and the description attracted the readers. This study analyzed two transformations of traditional narrative methods. First, the narrator emphasized the immediacy of communication by constructing its own storyboard. Second, the story attracted many readers using appropriate figures of speech and the character description. The former specified the methods of rhythmic sense of prose using the comparison and contrast, the insertion of the voice of narrator by realizing the conversation, and the methods of rhythmic sense of prose using the word similarity and sound. The latter lessened the gap between the reader and the character by comparing sensuous and traditional words to the background of the story and the mental state of the characters.
