ABSTRACT

In Baek Seok's poem 「Sura(修羅)」, he decolorized self-consciousness of intellectual under the Japanese colony by putting up spider without any adjustment. He excluded conventional imagination given to the spider and personified the spider as same as himself. He expressed “anxiousness which cannot remove” in the depression of time and limited situation through meeting with a spider while wintering in his house isolated from the real world. As he was spending winter night in the isolated space from the world like a hermit, he was confessing his hard life placed in between impossibility of restoring the past time and uncertainty of future prospect. In this point of view, the burden of colonial life, with which Baek Seok had to deal, was cruel and severe so as not to raise the poetic ideal. Therefore, his work shows the psychological internal disturbance finding out the transformation of individual emotion from the collective emotion. Also, with the matter of history, this poem provokes our attitude to reflect ourselves from days that we neglected in the past. Baek Seok externally put up a spider as the main subject but he spoke out sadness of his life as an intellectual under the Japanese colony. He charged the power for its outrageous violence, which influenced the actual life of Korean people under the colonial period through the repetition of behavior turning the spider out of his house. This poem exemplifies the fact that the subject described in the work should be emphasized in its importance starting from the point that the subject not only frames the poem but also functions as the main motive forming the consciousness of poet ahead.
