Authors studied two short stories of the Korean writer Kim Dong-In by psychodynamic criticism method. And Authors found the unconscious creative motivation of Kim Dong-In when he wrote the novels. 1) ’Maternal representation’ did the important role in artistic creativity of the main characters of each stories - Back Sung-Su in ’Flamboyant sonata’(1929), Solkeo in ’Crazy Painter’(1935). For Baek Sung-Su, death of his mother meant the loss of important object, it led him to compose the ’flamboyant sonata’ in excitement of firing. For Solkeo, try to paint the ’Minyeodo’ meant the realization of unconscious incestuous wish with his mother. 2) Both main characters were grown up without father. It influenced them enormously in psychological development. Baek formed strong attachment with his mother and distorted personal myth about his absent father. Solkeo showed strong anxiety-driven wish for incest and harsh undifferentiated superego. So that he destroyed his painting and killed the ideal model of his drawing, after then had gone to be mad and died in freezed. 3) In 1927 when ’Flamboyant Sonata’ was published, Kim Dong-In were in many troubles - economic bankruptcy, divorce, depressive symptoms and severe insomnia. But he could overcome the troubles and psychic trauma through the writing the novel. After writing, he could decided to write again, get a stable job, second marriage.
