In has been known to some circle of applied psychoanalysis that the maiden work of a writer tends to disclose more of this inner-most unconscious material as his defense system is less tight and meticulous and as his conscious literary technique is less complete. The author tried to explore, firstly, the preconscious and unconscious of the hero of ’Kong-Hyou-II’ (the holiday), the maiden work of Chang-Sub Sohn. One of the best writer in 1950s and 1960s in Korea. secondly the unconscious creative process of the writer, based on the his life situation described in his autobiographic novel, ’shin-eu-Hee-Jak’ (a comic creature of God), and thirdly the relationship of unconscious conflicts of the hero in the maiden work and the hero in the autobiographic novel. The results were as follows: (1) In the novel, the hero who is afraid of a close relationship with the family member, the other people, and particularly with young women, is breaking off the engagement with his fiancee after some hesitation. In a flash of insight, the man understands that he is incapable of real love. The reader is left with the impression that the neurotic hero well endlessly repeat the same pattern of making a pseudo close relationship, being disappointed without obvious reasons, and so forth, (2) During the preparation of that novel. The writer S was placed to face with a conflict whether he should let his wife to stay with him in Korea or let her depart him to take care of their two children in Japan. (3) The writer, unconsciously wished to stick to his wife as she represented his beloved mother who had abandorned him to elope with another man to live in Manchuria in his. Preadolescence. And then, he would suffer with a guilt that he abandorned his two children. (4) The writer did not understand his real conflict. He believed. That he stuck to his wife despite of his guilt. In unconscious reality he was sticking to her because of his guilt. In unconscious reality he was sticking to her because of his unconscious sought for unhappiness and guilt. Masochiats love this type of situation. (5) The hero in the novel leaves a woman without any reason. This is exactly the writer’s alibi that "if there are men who leave their women without adequate reasons. I certainly can do it". Hence the neurotic hero of the novel played the part of appeaser of the writer’s superego. This also explains why a less important part of the writers personality difficulty-his inability to love-is permitted to become conscious. Although typically repressed. His conflict was seemingly an aggressive one-to leave or not to leave-and against the reproach of the superego, defenses and alibis were produced. The pseudo-aggressive conflict covers the dynamically decisive one-the masochistic wish to suffer. Similarly. The guilt is shifted from the masochistic to the pseudo-aggressive problem. (6) In the previous article the author mentioned the inner-most unconscious conflict of the writer, derived fro his autobiographic novel, were moral masochism, bisexuality, passivity and guilt. And in the maiden work of the same writer, the author found the similar conflicts in the unconscious of the hero.
