Ji Ha-Lyon had left only a small number of works. However, her works configurate the singular place where the interest of women intellectuals, class politics, and Liberation history are crossed. For this reason, many studies have been conducted on ‘결별’(The Breakup) and ‘도정’(The Road). When the interest in women's sexuality had emerged, ‘결별’ was highlighted, and When the study of liberative space has become active, ‘도정’ attracted attention. In addition, her story of life as “a wife of Im Hwa” was also a small reason to attract the attention of researchers. At first glance, the singularity of Ji Ha-Lyon’s works seems to have originated from the symmetrical aspects of each plot of ‘결별’ and ‘도정’. The two novellas are contrasted by the protagonists who are woman and man in each novellas. Their stages are contrasted with the local small towns before Liberation of Korea and the center of Seoul after Liberation, and their major affects are also contrasted with romantic sentiment and political consciousness. It seems that the explicit political quality of ‘도정’ had created this symmetry. Thus, in the existing research, ‘결별’ and ‘도정’ are attributed to the distinctive category as the beginning and end or the private world and the public world. However, in this study, firstly, by explaining the narrational mode which is common to the narratives of Ji Ha-Lyon, secondly, through the new interpretation of the partial text in the ‘도정’ which is supposed to be misread by the researches so far, I argue that I could rediscover the common problematics which penetrate the narratives of Ji Ha-Lyon. For this purpose, I searched for characteristics of narrational modes common to the three works of ‘결별’ and ‘체향초(Days of Homecoming)’ and ‘도정’ reconstructing the procedure in which the problematics penetrating the entire works is developed. Above all, I focuses on sentences that are not distinguishable from the words of a narrator or a character. By analyzing this, I defined the narrators appearing in the entire narratives as the “third-personized-auto-narrators”. “third-personized-auto-narrator” is the he or she who is given the authority of the narrators in narratives of auto-narration, and is the agent who is responsible for integrating auto-narration and hetero-narration. Through the entire narratives of Ji Ha-Lyon, the function of the “third-personized- auto-narrator” is invested only to the protagonist of each narratives. Even in the first novella, ‘결별’, the narrative is composed by configurating each level of plot, narration, and problematics together. ‘결별’ is known as a work containing an autobiographical story. Here, however, there is a position change between the self and the other that takes place at the level of the plot. The protagonist of the actual story is the third person of the fictional story, and the protagonist of the fictional story is the third person of the actual story. Such interchange at the level of plot produces not only the function of “third-personized-auto-narrator” at the level of the narration but also the logic implying that the individual affects must develop into the reflection on the class of women at the level of problematics. ‘체향초’ examines the logic of the dialectic as such. Even though the development of the reflection in which the personal emotions expand into the collective consciousness of the women could be defined as a dialectic, narratives of Ji Ha-lyon did not accept this definition without reflection. There are two kinds of dialectic being prominent in the ‘체향초’. The One is the logic of men's sophistication. I conceptualized it “dialectical automatic device”. The men's sophistication in the narratives of Ji Ha-Lyon within which knowledges are always already presupposed elaborates some grandeur during the retreat. When such sophistication have become suspected, there emerges the other, that could be named as “the dialectic of conscience”. This logic comes from the thought not to leave knowledges to automatic devices. In order for this logic to operate differently from automatic devices, the function of the “third-personized-auto-narrator” appears again at the level of narration, since even a word must not be processed within a single individual. In this way, this article has revealed that what had been the stake of Ji Ha-Lyon’s novellas before Liberation was the problem of deviating from the single and individual 'I'. Therefore it must be emphasized that there had been a spectre of the Communism in Ji Ha-Lyon’s works before Liberation. The partial text of ‘도정’ which described Communist Party as a “monster” has thrown researchers into confusion, but the “monster” to the intellectuals of those days should be understood as the “spectre” in context of today. The major confrontation of ‘도정’ is not a conflict between free conscience of the individual and collective consciousness of the organized Communist Party. If that is the case, then the ending of ‘도정’ cannot but be read as the voluntarist abandonment. Liberation could be regarded as the time and space where the spectre comes to be actuality, and that is the time and space of ‘도정’. Thus The major confrontation of ‘도정’ should be the conflict between the right and the wrong in an actualized Communist Party organization. Since being conscious of this confrontation, “Third-personized-auto-narrator” of ‘도정’ went to the horizon of act by identifying himself with the class to which he belongs, petit bourgeois.
