ABSTRACT

The Watch Night event in 「Bihwamilgyo」 is to sublimate pathological psychology resulted from suppressive reality in the form of a ritual. This ‘cult’ has been maintained as the order different from the worldly order was formed spontaneously, and its concrete symbol is the ‘embers’. It is noteworthy that in this work, ‘flashlight’ is used as a subject matter that implies that consideration. It is because in the previous works, ‘flashlight’ symbolizes authoritative sight contrastively. The writer prospects the destiny of this cult pessimistically. He admits that all that is hidden takes the need to actualize itself and impulse and sees that it gets to take destructive aspects when the shade order goes into the realistic order. As it is implied in 『Your Heaven』, too, the ‘heaven’ can exist only when it is grounded on autonomous destiny, and this is because revealing a secret assumes collision with another community. The writer reveals the consciousness of his defeatism by showing that sir Jo’s mentalism anticipates defeat from the first place. What the writer pays attention to in this work is a novelist’s roles. Lee Cheong Jun already defined in his 「Let’s write an autobiography」 that ‘an autobiography is a story from the future though it is written in past tense’ and emphasized that the future should be the future for all. In 「Bihwamilgyo」, Lee Cheong Jun emphasizes sir Jo’s defeat is the mission of a novelist showing the tragedy of our time just as it is.
