ABSTRACT
This study shows that characters could heal their wounds through a self-therapeutic process. In other words, people who act spontaneously and intensely in the therapeutic literature process positively impacted their therapy mechanism. It demonstrates that people or characters in the context become self-conscious through the consolidation of ‘past wounded self’ and ‘current self’ which intend to see the past from a new perspective. The research method of this study is the analysis of characters in the two texts and the process of mental health through these characters analysis is to explore its meaning. We can seek the examples in the text. Hannah and Michael represent the analog-style reading and writing in the era of information technology, and correspond to the main character in Heuksan (黑山) who strolls to interact with nature, writes the memories of the past, and communicates with neighbors. The characters in this study indicate those kinds of lifestyles. With feedback and sympathy, people who participate in the therapeutic literature process can make a meaning and a value in their life which previously consisted of deficiencies in communal values and goals. In conclusion, the object of the therapeutic literature is the consolation-oriented therapy process between two selves; one that a character created and the other that self-expressed.
