초록

This paper is intended to reinterpret Lee Sang’s Japanese poem, <BOITEUX·BOITEUSE>, published in 1931. In his first novel, <December 12>, Lee Sang expressed his desire and hope to “rush out once dead or live from home” to see a wider world. Contrary to his initial plan, the novel ends up with the plot “fleeing and returning home”. On December 12, 1929, during a time of social change, Lee Sang went out to meet social reformers, but he was caught by the Japanese police, and misunderstood and tortured.
In <BOITEUX·BOITEUSE> the word ‘CROSS’ representing a cross can be read as evidence of torture. Lee Sang expresses his resentment of being falsely charged by using “CROSS” which can imply a rack. Arrested and tortured by the Japanese police due to ‘Incident X’ which occurred accidently, Lee Sang stricken with shock seemed to change the novel’s title to <December 12> in haste. He altered the novel’s plot so it now read “fleeing and returning home” and released 28 poems written in Japanese to disguise his story and meaning.
Because of this incident Lee Sang expressed his distorted fate under the Japanese colonial era as a “cripple”. The novel symbolizes two facts that he as a cripple was being falsely charged as an arsonist and expelled by the church he believed in. Afterwards the speaker (Lee Sang) devised a plan for revenge against the church for the false charge and his expulsion. However, he was tormented and conflicted due to his desire to reveal the incident, the coercion and lure of the Japanese, and his suppression of himself for the sake of his friends. This is how <BOITEUX·BOITEUSE> should be interpreted.
