현실수용의 실패와 부녀간 역할의 전도 : -『리어왕(King Lear))』을 중심으로- -daughter Relationship in King Lear = The Failed Acceptance of Reality and the Inversion of Father

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

William Shakespeare's King Lear is a tragedy of a father who inverts the natural order of his family and destroys the dynastic sequence by his patriarchal authority. On the heath, King Lear learns the fact that, without the social contexts, human beings must endure the stark and grim realities of life. King Lear, nevertheless, is not able to go through with his understanding of human condition. Whenever he possesses the position of a father and a king, there always seems to be a much easier way of living for the rest of his days. By the means of his authority over hs daughters, he commands them to sustain and nurse himself. As an exchange value, he presents his own vision of imaginary pastoral kingdom. Yet the greediness of Goneril and Regan destroys all his dreams and Lear is cast out to the stormy wilderness. The reconciliation with Cordelia gives him a short moments of rest. Unfortunately, however, the recovery of Lear's royalty and paternity also brings back to himself his initial ego which has been the cause of his fall. Appealing Cordelia for her sympathy, Lear, again, asks her to bear with his own burden of life. As a result, he obsturcts in the way of her own survival, her future, and even the possible flourishing prosperity of his own descendants.
