ABSTRACT

This paper analyzed the aspect of manifestation of ‘Persona’ and ‘Self’ expressed in Yu Chi-Hwan’s poetry with the view point of analytical psychology of Calr Custav Jung. The aspect of manifestation of ‘Persona’ and ‘Self’ is a framework to understand the inner world of Yu Chi-Hwan and a material to prove the unique characteristics of Yu Chi-Hwan’s poem world. The poetic resonance made by the aspect revealed by Persona, i.e. ‘obsession and psychological disorder/molting desire and healing’ and the aspect of self-manifestation using the union of opposites, i.e. ‘Shadow/Light’, and ‘Sound/Silence’ is a unique poetic domain that can be created by only those who are intensely immersed in their inner world. It could be known that Yu Chi-Hwan’s awareness of life is accord with the desire of self-realization. Also the contradictoriness of Yu Chi-Hwan’s poem is the main factor that arouse the poetic collision caused by the psychological opposite poles of ‘Persona/Self’. This has to be understood in the manner of the unique existing method of Yu Chi-Hwan’s poem which is directed by the structure of psychological opposite poles of ‘Persona/Self’. The aesthetics of paradox created by this process acts as a driving force forming the unique poem world of Yu Chi-Hwan. This paper found the source generating the aesthetics of paradox at the structure of opposite poles, namely the union of opposites contributing to self-embodiment. The union of opposites in Yu Chi-Hwan’s poetry is a poetic practice for penetrating into self and a poetic effort for self-realization. Therefore, the value of Yu Chi-Hwan’s poetry is on the point that he aesthetically embodied ontological questions and answers in his poetry in order to be wholly what he is without living imperfectly with being locked in Persona, This paper serves as a momentum to give a new proof for Yu Chi-Hwan’s poetry that have been analyzed with some unsophisticated flat structure so far. This work becomes a useful implication to understand the psychological structure of literary works and psychological conditions of authors.
