The course in ‘Discharge from Hospital’, overcome ‘Flash light’ trauma and transfer to outside (Living world) from inside (shed), has the initiation story structure as ‘Rites of Passage’. As ‘van Genneb’ explained ‘Rites of Passage’ as the protagonist was transient to matured one by physically and mentally trained through the course of ‘segregation-transition-integration’, the protagonist in ‘Discharge from Hospital’ underwent the course of development and expansion of ego, from immatured to matured. This meant the transfer to social net-work by overcome past trauma represented as shed. The course, protagonist ‘I’ overcame ‘ego oblivion’ and transferred to social order, was summarized as a course of ‘Hospitalization-overcome Trauma-Discharge from Hospital’. This is the transition of Chaos world (shed, hospital) - overcome difficulties (travel to utopia) - Cosmos world (outside) from view point of ‘Rites of Passage’ space.
The ‘Shed’, fixed by imprinted trauma of childhood by flash light dred, was a transient space to overcome mental deficiency and disability and transferred to out side. In childhood ‘I’ received a task, to overcome ordeal, to overcome Oedipus complex from mother and sister through separation ceremony, in ‘shed’, transient space, by father. It was like that a new comer, isolated in transient space, transferred to new world, by means of regeneration, after overcome all difficulties endowed to him on ‘Rites of Passage’. The ‘shed’, as a transient space, was homology to the image of ‘cave’, have to pass on the course of rites of passage. ‘Cave’, from ritualistic meaning, was a pipeline passing through viscera of the earth, and womb of mother. “Shed’, with the image of ‘cave’, had not only a symbolic image of returning to matrix, but also identical to the stomach of animal in mythologic imagination. Because the stomach of animal, in mythology, was a space of regeneration like womb of mother. Also the situation, confined in ‘Shed’, created the confronting relationship of chaining one and chained one. So the relationship of father and son was confronted as chaining one and chained one.
In ‘Discharge from Hospital’ the enlightenment of ‘I’ was symbolized as transition of space, from ‘Shed’ to ‘Living world’ in childhood and from ‘Hospitalization’ to ‘Discharge from Hospital’ after grown-up. If the transition in childhood, from ‘Shed’ to ‘Living world’, had a meaning of grown-up ceremony as seeking the identification of sexuality, the transition in grown-up, from ‘Hospitalization’ to ‘Discharge from Hospital’, could be treated as ‘transition to social order’, as of exploration story of ego searching. Generally the entrance ceremony of ‘Rites of Passage’ was repeated by a certain period. So the entrance ceremony of sexual transfer would be the 1’st ‘Rites of Passage’, and the entrance ceremony of ego searching, ‘transfer to social order’ would be the 2’nd ‘Rites of Passage’. It was understood that ‘I’ was failed to be transferred to the other world though spent transient period in ‘Shed’, as not completely entered into father’s rule. As it was father who guided the ‘Rites of Passage’ of puberty in childhood, it was Ms. Yoon, the nurse, who guided the ‘Rites of Passage’, from dark and death space, chaos (hospital), to bright space, world (cosmos) after grown-up. As in saga there was an assistant, maternal instinct, during the course of hero’s overcome difficulties, Ms. Yoon could be regarded as the assistant in saga, and also as the shaman, the guide in shamanistic world, guiding ‘Rites of Passage’.
So the repeat of ‘Rites of Passage’ in ‘Discharge from Hospital’, from ‘Shed’ in childhood and from ‘Hospital’ after grown-up, gave us a symbolic meaning that mankind continuously cross the threshold from here to the other side for the self perfection. So the course in ‘Discharge from Hospital’, ‘I’ overcame the ego oblivion and regenerated ego, was a research to find another ego inherent in human nature by ‘cross threshold’ on ‘Rites of Passage’.
