ABSTRACT

Time and space in the narrative is critical. People in space and time behavior and enter into a relation, these causal relationships form the multiple meanings network through the experience of the reader. 『Daughters of Kim's pharmacy』is a narrative about the rise and fail of the family in 60 years time leading to after opening a port and the Japanese annexation of Korea, during the colonial occupation of Korea. Nevertheless, it's major factors in their only space epic and analysis about narrative of『daughters of Kim's pharmacy』looks like. The space and the characters were mobilized for the interpretation of the work, and now were left with the problem of time. How does an individual recognize the space and time in which he has existed? We 'talk about' time(day) in our language, and the time of our talk is 'the time' registered in our memory and selectively, not all objective time. So, Paul Ricoeur tried to identify the meaning of human existence within the narrative. In other words, it must be his story analytics to comprehend how the fragmented and distributed time of human is incorporated into one identity. We identify, he argued, our lives by the time involving its fabrication and historicity, and thus it is very important to understand this recognition attitude on life, especially with regard time. 『Daughters of Kim's pharmacys』is a fiction about family history showing the family history of three generations over the sixty years based on their age. However, it doesn't make us feel the flow of time. Also, the time narrative in the work is summarized in the first chapter. After revied by the concept of 'narrative time', the meaning of time must be stagnant. This stagnant time delays the objective time of sixty years from the past to the current to the future into the current time, to form the placeness of the actual space Tongyeong Human geography appeared as a result of the recognized limitations of the study of space is symbolic and abstract. It is separate space and a place. Space is free and open space abstract and undifferentiated. But the place would have given valuable experience to the subject. Concrete and has a mutual characteristics.. Time is stagnant in Tongyeong, it will be lost of place to the family of kimyakkuk. Humans form an identity through relationships they hold.

That's part of growth and development. But the place is called Tongyeong, it is impossible to bear such a relationship. kimyakkuk and his father was severance of relations. that is made it impossible to form an identity as a father, and eventually failed also bear relationship of father and daughters. The tragedy of the daughters of kimyakkuk starts here. But yongbin and yonghye leaving Tongyrong has the possibility of entering into a new kind of relationship.
