필사본 <五臺夢>의 자료 현황과 서사적 특징

초록

This study aimed to introduce the current state of materials in the Odaemong manuscript and examine the characteristics of its content and narrative development. Odaemong is the only work transmitted just by a manuscript, and this study commenced reviewing it in full scale. It acknowledged the nobility’s taste for the arts and the romantic love found in Guwoonmong and Okrumong based on the structure of Aekwoon and Yeonmyeong novels. It received no transcendent help in the process of predicting the bad luck of dying young and overcoming fate, thus reinforcing its reality. Transcendent help, however, appears in the process of establishing a relationship between a man and a woman, representing a romantic match. Unlike other works in the category of Aekwoon and Yeonmyeong novels, Odaemong develops a different narrative. It introduces no specific methods of overcoming bad luck and offers an overlap between “leaving home-returning” and two relationships. It also presents realistic methods of overcoming the fate of dying young and death. It has the “Odaemong Seoje” of the writer, who claims to be “Hwang Hee” after the story ends. The writer proposed increasing the royal authority as a way of restoring national sovereignty through his Seoje. It illustrates the consciousness of intellectuals with traditional values during a period of lost national sovereignty.
