  • 本论文以健庵金炯观文集为中心, 以他的学问和思想为基础, 对至今论文中尚不见提及的复仇论进行了分析, 以阐明其特色. 最终得出的结论是健庵认为为了忠孝义的复仇是正当的, 而对为了消解私利, 功绩, 忿怒的复仇, 则持否定看法. 这基本上可以说是站在儒者立场上的观点. 复仇的方法分为刺客和征伐两种, 如果是为忠孝和义理的复仇, 那么使用刺客和征伐都可以. 而对于那些剖棺斬屍或是一时屈服, 心怀二心, 之后再复仇的行为, 则持反对的看法. 另外, 在复仇时, 重视等时借力的方法. 按照时机, 等候机遇, 然后果断实行. 反对那些为了私忿, 私益, 功绩, 无勇无谋, 自招杀祸的愚蠢行为. 健庵身为儒学者, 基本上是尊重仁义王道和春秋大义, 反对用武力进行征伐的霸道行为. 所以他认为刺客与征伐在一定的条件下, 有时可以作为捷径使用. 健庵的这种观点, 与他处于日帝强占期这种时代状况不无关系. 他亲身经历过日帝强占期的弹压, 听说过安重根义士和尹奉吉义士的义举, 从历史书中发掘选相关的例子, 发表自己的谈论, 持有自己的观点. 因此, 健庵虽然是追从朱熹学说的儒学者, 但是在他的复仇论中, 他的观点更合理性. 可以说健庵是一名能够根据所处时机, 追求符合义理的时中之道的儒者.

  • As Oedipa Mass, the heroine of Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, is apparently associated with Oedipus, the hero in Sophocles' tragedy, this paper aims to show some of their similarities in quest theme and plot development as well as in the use of dramatic irony. Oedipus the King opens with a priest's pleas to relieve the Theban people from a plague and the king's promise to rid its cause by avenging the murder of the former king, as told by the oracle. Lot 49 begins as a Los Angeles law firm informs Oedipa that she is named as the executrix in her former lover Inverarity's will to sort out the mogul's estate. Ironically, however, Oedipus' investigation reveals himself to be the very cause of the national disaster, the murderer for whom he searched. Likewise, Oedipa starts her inquiry dedicating herself to make sense out of what Inverarity had left behind, only to find that the legacy was America. Sophocles and Pynchon both employ dramatic irony to provide a controlling principle for plot development in their works. In Oedipus the King, Sophocles creates mounting tension as well as distance between the reader's knowledge and the protagonist's ignorance, compressing the play's action into the moment that Oedipus discovers his real identity. For dramatic irony, however, Pynchon tends to work through authorial comments and utilize allegorical meanings of the characters' names, directing his novel at illuminating Oedipa's discovery of Inverarity's legacy as well as the meaning of Tristero, an underground postal service system. Unlike Oedipus the King that proceeds on a single line of action, Lot 49 develops in esoteric, multi-layered allusions and intricately-interrelated double strains involving Oedipa's roles as executrix and quester. At the end of Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus stabs his eyes and decides to live in exile, realizing that, blinded, he begot his children through his mother; Oedipa comes to a painful realization that she allowed her former lover to create death-orienting America without her diversity and moral system in old times. As Oedipa now discovers herself through her search for Tristero, her tragic spirit lies in her determination to confront her binary choices between two Americas: transcendence or entropy, the Tristero possibility or Inverarity's America. Ultimately, Oedipa tries to find who will be the bidder for the Tristero forged stamps designated as lot 49, awaiting the auctioneer's cry and the "crying" of a new-born America.
