The robot, a mechanical man, raises complex questions of body, humanity and desire. First, reinterpreting some of the things, on the story of Golem, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, consequently affirms that the shape of a mechanical man makes momentous changes taking place in humanity, makes inroads into all most imagination of culture. Especially, advancement in scientific technology makes dramatic understanding and expansion of the relations between humans and machines. Actually, it is no accident that the shape of mechanical man is coeval with the construction of the general desire in human, one of the oldest inventions in human history. Body, technology and desire have been high-lightened as one of the most important theme since the philosophy and the culture. The shape of mechanical man not be rated an absurd story, but makes an issue of insight into contemporary human nature. It performs a role of channel and desire-organ of sense and recognition. This study examines recent novels focusing on a mechanical man in human shape. In the literary, one’s latest works positively accepts new self-consciousness of robot to apply to characters. In the dynamic interaction of humanity and the impersonality of a mechanized world, new characters of recent novel bring forth the new aesthetic models, pursue new aesthetic experiences. Therefore, this study tried to analyse novels like 'Cello', 'Robot', 'Ivan'. The sprightly cultural sensibility and realization of robot give a shock to the prior condition of humanity because each attempts enter into the tense, complementary relation of humanity and inhumanity. Gloomy images of the future in three novels show the meaningful symptom of existent circumstances. It is valuable significance that this trial breaks through the possibility of humanity in the new direction. We stand at the portals of a new age, developing from the anthropocentricism to the posthumanism and from the separation to the combination and from the break to the communication.
