영문 초록

  In this essay I shall discuss the resurrection of Hermione reflected in The Winter"s Tale. I venture to discuss here some dominating elements of restoration in the play. As soon as we see Hermione in The Winter"s Tale(5.3), standing (in the words of Folio Stage direction) "like a statue"; Accordingly spectators may be struck by this apparent cold pastoral that extracts out of thought as "doth eternity". Under the guidance of Paulina the artifact of Hermione becomes the reality of the woman supposed dead for 16 years. There is small miracle responded to this startling event, which is unique in all of Shakespeare. And I also support Shakespeare"s scholars" conjectures of the first original form of The Winter"s Tale, and then I suggest dramatic and historical sources affected Shakespeare"s final design of The Winter"s Tale, and consider the nature of the statue of Hermione.
  In the introduction to The Winter"s Tale (Arden shakespeare"s edition) Frank Kermode observes that "the play" may have been without the statue in its original dramatic text. On the other hand Kenneth Muir not only believes that the restoration of Hermione must have been part of Shakespeare"s original plan, but also allows that it is possible that Hermione was not restored to life.
  Accordingly I do believe that the 1611 Lord May"s Show has incipient dramatic elements suggested to shakespeare a means of renewing Hermione"s life : the first is the theme of restoration(5.2) ; the second is the renewal of father(Leontes) and daughter(Perdita) and reconciliation of friends. Paulina (5) is in charge, and she may seen as the agent of "Time" or the analogue to "Time" of the pageant; she calls Hermione from apparent death.
  In the pageant there is an actual tomb which dramatic spectators see, and The Winter"s Tale in Paulina"s chapel temple the visitors find the statue on some kind of tomb device. And miracles also happen in both pageant and The Winter"s Tale. All attention focuses on Farrindon"s tomb in the pageant and on Hermione"s statue in The Winter"s Tale"s final scene. In a memorable dramatic gesture "Time presence" summons Farrindon from the tomb, and correspondingly Paulina brings the presumed statue of Hermione to life in a deliberate and distinctive act : "Paulina call out" ; "Music! Awake her! strike! Tis time; descend; be stone no more; Approach" (Act 5. S.3. 98-99).
  It seems to me that Shakespeare"s artistic treatment is the more profound; here "Art and Nature" come together beneficially.
