윤동주와 T. S. 엘리엇 그리고 A. R. 에먼즈 시의 죄의식

초록

The Consciousness of Sin in Dong-Ju Yun, A. R. Ammons,and T. S. Eliot's Poetry Yang, Jaeyong (Kangwon University) T. S. Eliot, Dong Ju Yun, and A. R. Ammons lived in different country, culture, and generation, but were educated and raised under the influences of their christian family. Eliot divorced his wife not to meet her by hiring an attorney in spite of her resistance to a divorce by one-side agreement. Eliot repented his sins due to the consciousness of sin to her and his marriage life since her former wife died of mental disease alone in mental hospital. During the rest of his life he suffered from his deeds and was possessed of sin toward his dead wife. Eliot showed a sense of sin through the protagonist of his later poetic plays. Dong Ju resisted God’s indifference to his country’s wretched reality as a christian and also regretted his decision to accept Japanese name to study to Japan. Dong Ju cherished Korean language and letter, but Japan didn’t allow Korean to speak and write them at that time. Dong Ju saw that his people had been tormented and exploited by Japanese colonial rule and tyranny. In his 1940 period’s poems, Dong Ju repented the sin of his doubt of God, and was ashamed of his decision to change his Korean name into Japanese name to go to Japan for studying. A. R. Ammons was also a christian. His mother was Methodist, and his father was Baptist. He went to Sunday school of Fire-Baptized Pentecostal Church near his home and the family sometimes attended preaching on Sundays. Interview with David Lehman, Ammons said that he took religious spirit, whatever that is, from the Fire-Baptized Pentecostal. Ammons was obsessed with ecological sense of guilty that the earth has been ravaged and devastated by human desire and civilization. His innocent guilty may be something akin to but probably not the same thread as original sin. “The Damned” says that we, as people, are entangled with the network of humanity and nature, so we are not free from an obligation to others and feel the guilty from devastating the earth.
