Abstract

Son Chun ik child abuse analyzes “little wanderings”, “little clown dreams”. Of course, in each text it looked at the characters words and actions. Child abuse is currently ongoing. The reality is that the number of affected children has rarely decreased from the past to the present. In other words, it has been proven that the attitude of parents toward their children has not changed much. This phenomenon does not only happen in reality. The texts happen appear of the father. The father in the above works abuse children. Of course, the father’s child abuse is habitual, not one-off. The mother disputes her father’s misconduct, but she is not enough to protect the children. This means that the mother is weak and the father is strong. On the surface, the child’s growth process does not seem to be problematic, but if you look carefully, the child is full of wounds. This is because the child runs away from home in the process of growing up, and the child thinks of suicide. Of course, thanks to the mother’s sincere love and attention, the child overcomes the crisis. Such abnormal attitudes of children cannot be regarded as irrelevant to father’s child abuse. Because of father’s misconduct, the child has no choice but to rely absolutely on mother. However, mother who are not equal to father do not actively protect children. The mother’s authority is narrow. Mother have a joint custody power. but she cannot do anything for children. Of course, the words and actions of a mother like this must have been attributed to the situation of the times (the end of 50), crooked ideologies, authoritative, patriarchal paternal love. Children are abused by father, but do not blame or resent the father. Rather, I live with the hope that a good day will come someday if I overcome the current crisis. This is not unrelated to the moralism, accusatory principle, humanism that Son Chun ik usually pursued.
