<덴동어미화전가>에 나타난 여성의 주체의식 성장

Abstract

This paper attempted to identify that ‘Dendon-Eomi’, a poetic narrator, shows that she is gradually growing with a sense of subjectivity by experiencing the bitters of life through repeated remarriage, considering <Dendong-Eomi Whajeonga> enjoyed in 19th century as the main target. normal-looking Whajeongas have strong character as songs, while <Dendong- Eomi Whajeonga>'s life stories are interestingly narrated. So it has received the attention of the academic world for a work with characteristics of both song pattern and story structure. In the Joseon Dynasty, most people thought that only following the Way of Three Obedience saying that most women can find their identities only in their fathers, husbands, and sons under the Confucian ethics system acts as family ethics in Confucian ideology. And women could experience the change in their affiliated group through a system called 'marriage.' However, 'widows' whose husbands were dead among married women could not follow their fathers because they were already married off. Also, when their husbands died young before they had a child, they were regarded as neglected beings even in the family because they lost the objects they could assist. The works showing the looks of widows well are <A Widow's Song> and <A Young Widow's Song>. It could be examined that the narrators in these works were feeling a sense sorrowful isolation because of the self-awareness that their identities were descended to vanished beings as young widows accustomed to the speculation system and rules of Confucian ideas. However, when this paper examined 'Dendong-Eomi' of <Dendong-Eomi Whajeonga> through this article, it could understand she showed the process of achieving enlightenment by experiencing the fact that a retrogression against Confucian ideology was consecutive suffering in the Joseon Dynasty through the process of four marriages and four remarriages in her life, and gradually having a sense of subjectivity as a woman.
