한일 고전소설 속 여성의 애정과 욕망 소고(小考) -18세기 한양과 에도(江戸)를 중심으로-

Abstract

This study focused on the women’s affection and lust described in the Korean and Japanese classical novels written around 18th century. The women who lived in the capital city, Hanyang and Edo, showed their affection and lust aggressively, because they thought they could realize their dream. For example, heroine Unyoung in Unyoungzeon and Yangpa in Pouigyozip longed for eternal love, but they couldn’t get it because of their social status. And the heroine Sunme in Zyolhwagidam showed the lust for the money, too. The women in the Koushokuichidaiotoko and Koushokuichidaionna were the prostitutes or young women who longed for eternal love risking death. But the women in Ukiyoburo were the mothers who longed for getting socioeconomic stability, so they forced their daughters to learn culture. Women in the Shunshoku Umegoyomi also longed for the eternal love, so they had interest in getting jobs and earning money. Thus we could understand the women who lived in capital described in the Korean and Japanese classical novels written around 18th century had strong will for their life, especially on the affection and lust.
