This study is to find out how the speaker can be set in the work and how the characteristics of the works can be changed by that. Of course, the study on how the speaker in the work is set and what characteristics the speaker makes on the works may have been tried for other works than Ginyeosijo. But as the study focusing on the speaker and listener is closely related to the conversation of the text and the Ginyeosijo shows a lot of conversational characteristics, I decided to focus on the Ginyeosijo only for my study. There are two kinds of the setting of speaker in Ginyeosijo. One is to express the speaker in the works by using the first-person pronoun. The other is to hide the speaker from the work using the viewpoint of observer or neutral person. In case of the former case, “I” is exposed in the work as it is. In this case, as the poet focuses on his/her own personal experience and personal emotion, the work is used to transmit the detailed and specific personal story rather than general one. In addition, in this case, the specific listeners are often set and are also closely related to the characteristics of works which are used to express the personal feeling and emotion. In the case of the latter cases, the speaker is not exposed in the work that this method is more objective in folding a story, thus making the work focus more general characteristics. Accordingly, this kind of the setting of the speaker put more priority on the empathy of general emotion which general human or social human may feel rather than a person’s expression of special emotion. This applies to the themes such as sorrow for old age and life’s vanity, which all people can get the same emotion. As above, I found out that whether the speaker is exposed in the work or hidden from the work is closely related to the general characteristics of the work. I think that the completeness of this study needs more subsequent studies on this matter and that I would like to continue to supplement this study through the subsequent studies.
