한국민담에서 노인 에피소드

Abstract

Korean Folk-tales that boast "who is older" and Korean folk-tales that abandon old people are part of a project to "correct errors in perception of old people. These episodes, spread and spoken in the East Asian community, were optionally cut and developed in Korean folklore. In a sense of humanistic ethics, "The Story of the Old Man" presents us with a variety of discourse. These episodes were not simply "the lesson of filial piety," but had the potential to present a new perspective on the elderly and prevent dissolution that could lead to a rift in the community. The old man's knowledge in these stories has a complex and delicate tendency. Older adults, from supernatural categories to real-life experiences, display amazing capabilities. The old man is the owner of strategic knowledge, but may simply be regarded as a creature and be the object of violence, demoted to worthless beings, but sometimes revered. Attitudes toward the elderly are diverse and complex. We need a visual twist that pays attention to the roles and abilities of their beings rather than looking at them as objects to take care of children and the elderly. In Korean folk-tales, these stories will be told in part in accordance with this intention.
