AB - Lee Kangbaek has written some qualified plays which can be put into
a group by periods. The plays written in the late 19th picture his idealistic
society which he tries to attain by his plays. His ideal society is that an
individual can grow even in society, and an individual has an much value
as society. This subject is presented through space overlapping time, the
story that the first and the end overlap, characters whose former life and
next life are overlapped.
In case of A diary of Journey to Youngwoel, comparing the appearance
of Sejo vs Shin Sukju vs Han Myunghee holding a council in the Royal
presence with the appearance of Yeom Munji vs Bu Cheonpil vs Lee
Donggi holding a meeting in a study of Cho Dangjun, despite the
difference of time and space, Chosun times vs present times, palace vs Cho
Dangjun, each role is mixed up. In case of Flesh and Bone, the effort of
Munshin's grandfather who stops the killing by his offspring is eventually
embodied into the succeeding of the Choi family's lineage, jumping the
difference of time and space. In case of Feeling, so Heavenly, Dongyeon
seeks for the shape and Seoyeon seeks for the heart are unified into feeling
by Ham Yijung. In this work, the life and death are united through the
characters who appear after death and even before birth. It functions as
a device to picture the unification of shape and content, human and nature.
It is pointed out in this work that the compulsory possession oppresses
the people. It is represented through the husband of Choi Sihwang, the
Choi’s wife who attaches importance to the family, Munshin who stress on
thr purity of extraction, and Dongyeon who seeks for a perfect shape. The
malady of the collective society can be cured only with the some sacrifices,
for example, Shin Sukju’s servant who is killed by his cryout that every
man has a right to live with a bright face, Youngja who is blamed for
extramarital affairs by her own sympathetic feeling, Ham Yijung who runs
away from home.
