ABSTRACT

This study speculates on the poetic intent of Gojuk Choi Gyong-Chang centering on some of his poetry which has an open arrangement with regard to space but has psychologically closed arrangement, based on whether he used the artistic effect positively and actively in writing his poetry, or whether he broke it negatively. This study identified openness and closure in space and its psychological representation and the results are presented as follows: For this purpose, this study examined a few verses with an open arrangement in space and psychologically. In revealing his wishes and desires, and his will with regard to responsibility and integrity as a public man in his poetry, Gojuk was open in space or psychologically, that is, he was positive and active. ‘When he was with those he loved’ or ‘when he dealt with the teachings of a wise and sublime nature’, he opened his psychology to unconsciously open space in order to actively show his enthusiasm. Meanwhile, this study examined a few verses with closed arrangements of space psychologically. Gojuk was psychologically closed in an open space when he was separated from the missing, when he encountered strange and anxious futures or when he was faced with a world filled with desires for the pursuit of fame and wealth. He showed clear intent in writing poetry by setting arrangements in space while having the space closed psychologically. Just as a paradox becomes a stronger affirmation, so the poet's intent was highlighted through the use of open space while being closed psychologically. Thus, the spatial arrangement, closure and openness psychologically were a clue to understand his mind and intent in writing poetry.
