Abstract
|
|
|
The novelist Han Kang¡¯s short story ¡¸My Woman¡¯s Fruit¡¹ is the prototype of his representative work ¡ºVegetarian¡». In the flow of all her novels, this novel is a period when conflict, psychological trauma, and deficit reach the extreme, condensing the wife¡¯s mental symptoms and eventually leading to catastrophe. The author analyzed that ¡®the wife who became a tree¡¯ was the result of the compromise formation by the reaction of the wife¡¯s unconscious libidinal satisfaction, aggression, defense, superego, and repeated frustration regarding her husband. Additionally, the narratives of husband and wife were analyzed to define the writer¡¯s setting in which male and female face catastrophic results in a patriarchal society. The author¡¯s analysis of this novel defined a crucial position in analyzing the entire Han Kang novel from the unconscious perspective, and has proven that the unconscious aesthetics from the clinical experience occupy a meaningful position in contemporary literature.
