Abstract

This study aims to examine documents of 『the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty』 including two contrary records about the affair of Youyeon. It was the receptive attitude that the researcher looked at the collection of books of the mid- to late Joseon period. The writing purpose of Lee-hangbok was considered. He accepted these records and revealed concretely. On the basis of results, we could find out three things through the complicated narration of <Youyeonjeon>. First, people should listen to others and distinguish the right and the wrong. Second, he tried to give a lesson that the government officials have to judge fairly and carefully. Third, he reveals the creative conciousness that we have protect human rights through Youyou. The characteristic narration of <Youyeonjeon> and two records about Youyeon’s jail experience story are very different because he reveals these three purposes for writing. The writer could overcome the narrative distance and he raised degree of completion using construction methods. As a result, the thematic consciousness that the truth wins in the long run was revealed. Lastly, there is a hidden intention in the true or false motif of <Youyeonjeon> and it is quite important. The point of keeping oneself, ‘Suo’ reveals in the process of judging the truth or false. The physical side like body, face or voice was not conceded as a resonable evidence. Brother, relative, or servant’s opinion could not be accepted. The truth or flase emphasizing on this work is to focus on keeping oneself in a quarrel. It is the ability not to lose being myself and it has a consciousness that can distinguish truth or false.
