AB - The purpose of this paper was to examine the meaning of the
democratic movement in Kwangju through “The Flag” written by Hong,
Hee Dam. It is remarkable that the author used the viewpoint of labor in
exposing recognition of problems. The democratic movement in Kwangju
evaluated by the viewpoint of main characters; Soonbun and Hyungja
shows barbarous violence military regime at that time.
Through these characters, the author also proves that the main body of
the movement was the mass of the people. From unknown little students
to the workers of textile companies and Kwangju citizens, the mass of the
people are evaluated highly in this work and the author shows brutality
of soldiers under the martial law well. On the contrary, the dual attitude
of the leaders who could play the key role in the movement also shows
the author’s sense of the real.
Moreover, “The Flag” written by Hong, Hee Dam is a work which
criticizes the behavior of America, our everlasting friendly nation,
indirectly. The fact that America was in the same side of Korean Military
regime, the main group of violence at that time, was hard to be understood
by the mass of the people.
Lastly, the process of literary configuration of the democratic movement
in Kwangju makes us to understand the world not only with the feelings
of resistance against the military authorities but with the viewpoint of
developing history. The main party which develops the history is the mass
of the people. The actual description of democratic movement in Kwangju
with the viewpoint of labor give us to have a new progressive
consciousness.
