The Persona and Shadow of Young Hye in Han Kang’s Novel Vegetarian
Abstract
This article analyzes the character Young Hye in Han Kang's novel Vegetarian using Carl Gustav Jung's literary psychology approach, specifically the concepts of persona and shadow archetypes. The purpose of this study is to identify the dynamics of Young Hye's personality based on three narrative perspectives. The method used is qualitative research with literature study techniques. The results show a tension between the suppressed social persona and the shadow that emerges through bodily resistance. The conclusion of this study highlights an identity crisis resulting from the conflict between social structure and the unconscious mind.
