영문 초록

  This study is to investigate the structural characteristics and the cinematic effects(visuality) of Joseph Conrad"s novel, The Secret Agent(1907). The structure of The Secret Agent is composed of double narrative lines. The Political Line narrates the political meanings of the characters" involvement in the attempted Greenwich Observatory explosion, and the Domestic Line follows the private aspects of the incident. These two structural lines are juxtaposed, and designed to make several switching points where one line appears forward and the other recedes. At the same time, this structural peculiarity resulted from the two lines affects the private(domestic) and political situations, the settlement of the incidents, and the characters" fate, creating dramatic irony which occurs when each character misunderstands his or her behaviors" political and private meanings.
  The dramatic irony and the unique narration of the double structural lines are also associated with cinematic effects. Among the visual arts, cinema has both features of simultaneity(juxtaposition) of the visual arts and narrative structure of novels, which we can find in the Secret Agent. As a result, it can be said that the juxtaposed narrative lines and the dramatic irony in the Secret Agent imitate the visuality of cinema.
