French naturalism was connected with materialism in that it over-emphasized money and sex. Zolaism is its typical example. However, since the interest in money was not only naturalist's trait, but also realist's, what distinguishes naturalism from realism seems to be the former's stress on sex.
Japanese naturalism also dealt with sex like Zolaism, yet in a different way. In Japanese naturalism, sexual decription was always concealed or omitted. As of 1910, there still remained the anti-physical tendency of Confuscianism. Erotic aestheticism appears much later in Japan.
The 1920's of Korea has similar feature to Japanese naturalistic era. This similarity constitutes the background of Korean naturalism. Therefore, I want to analyze the aspects of money and sex in Yom Sangsup' s novel and compare it with Zolaism and Japanese naturalism. Through the analysis, this paper aims to clarify one of the characteristics of Korean naturalism.
1. Autobiographical Novel
In Yom Sangsup's autobiographical novel of the first period (1921∼1923), the
protagonists are generally young, single, and poor. Nevertheless, money and sex do not become the main source of their problems. They are interested only in double suicide with a girl, infinity, and madness in order to escape from reality. Therefore, the novels in this period are always set “on the road.” The typical works in this period are 〈Green Frog of Laboratory : 표본실의 청개구리〉 and 〈Dark Night : 암야〉.
Autobiographical novels of the second period(1924∼1931) are a little different. Protagonists become more realistic. They are still single, but older than the heroes of the first period. While the heroes in the first period are poor, they are novelists or have some odd jobs. But love in this period is always one-sided longing of male protagonist for a girl, and it ends without any direct physical contact as in 〈The Waiting Room of the Court : 검사국대합실〉 and 〈Gold Ring : 금반지〉. There is no room for eroticism. The lovers never touch even the fingers of each other and this relationship is a far cry
from Zolaism. The case of money is quite different. There is detailed calculations of money in 〈The Printing Machine : 윤전기〉. In this novel, money is the cause of all the troubles. But it was not protagonist's personal problems of money. Even in the second period, we cannot find protagonists who's main problems in money.
2. Non-Autobiographical Novel
Non-autobiographical novel is quite different. Yom Sangsup's modeled novel begins with a female protagonist who's principle of life is money and sex. In 〈The New Year's Eve : 除夜〉, the heroine sells her beauty to many men, and to get married she becomes pregnant other man's baby. She is the first economic animal, and immoral creature in Yom Sangsup's novel. Yet she dreams about art and platonic love, just like the protagonists in autobiographical novels.
Such dreams vanish from Yom Sangsup's world in non-autobiographical novels of the second period. The protagonists of this period are generally married men who know book-keeping and eroticism. A typical novel of this kind is 〈Telephone : 전화〉. The protagonist is a man who has a stable job, wife and other girls. He knows very well the calculation and technique of controlling those women.
The protagonists in other novels can be divided into two groups : one belongs to rich class, the other poor. Money in rich group is usually the inherited properties. The fathers of protagonists are generally rich and have many concubines. But the protagonists do not have concubines. Since sexually immoral persons belong to father's generation, their erotic life has no importance in these novels. Therefore, obvious expression of eroticism is concealed or omitted in such novels as 〈Three Generation : 三代〉. Since poor group's problem was always extreme poverty, there is no room for eroticism, as we can see in the example of 〈Rice : 밥〉.
Consequently, in the novels of Yom Sangsup, there is almost no detailed description of erotic scenes, while calculation of money is apparent and concrete in non-autobiographical novels. Considering these evidence, we can conclude that Yom Sangsup was not a Zolaist.
There is an ambivalent attitude toward money and sex in Yom Sangsup's world. In
autobiographical novels, money and sex are not valued, whereas in modeled, or fictional novels, their values increase apparently. Even thought he agreed with realists in the matter of money and sex, he himself had anti-physical notions of traditional Confuscianism like Japanese naturalist. We can prove this by his ambivalent attitude about money and sex. If we call him a naturalist, we mean that in sense of the Japanese naturalism, not Zolaism.
