<유씨삼대록>에 형상화된 결혼 이주 여성의 가족 갈등과 그 현재적 의미

Abstract

Amid the increase in inter-country marriage migration, there is also a phenomenon in which prejudice, which regards the difference in national power between the two countries as the most important factor of marriage, acts as a repression for immigrant families. In order to change such prejudice, it is necessary to have an opportunity to reflect on the current situation, for which it is necessary to pay attention to the aspect of marriage migration narrative and conflict resolution method embodied in classical novels. In classical novels, marriage migration narratives usually play a role in highlighting heroic male characters' overseas military serving and victories, but in the case of Yussisamdaerok(劉氏三代錄), marriage between Chinese man and foreign woman is described as a product of complex political relations between countries, and it is special in that it describes the effects of social pressure on marital relations and conflict. The Chinese man, Sogyeongmun, appreciates the righteousness of the Mongolian princess Yangseong, but he resents that he is regarded as a relative weak person in the court and family, and so is taken for granted as a party to the marriage of the immigrant woman. Sogyeongmun is also rebels against that his marriage with the foreign woman is treated as means for the benefit of the state and the family. The social prejudice, which regards the immigrant marriage as a conditional contract that a helpless person must bear, shrinks the psychology of the Sogyeongmun, and eventually has negative impact on the marital relationship with the Mongolian princess. This aspect of marital conflict is similar to today's situations in which the social prejudice experienced by the spouse of married immigrant women causes conflicts within the family. Focusing on the exchange of interests between the two countries as a factor of migrant marriage, the viewpoint of considering marriage as a means of transaction and the viewpoint that the social minority should take care of immigrant marriage are still the main causes of prejudice against international marriage and conflicts within immigrant marriage families. In Yussisamdaerok(劉氏三代錄), the couple's conflict begins to be resolved as Sogyeongmun reminds of the process of personal relationship with Mongolian princess Yangseong through the conversation with Yusehyung and frees himself from the external pressure of the prejudice on his marriage, which suggests that the solution of the conflict experienced by the migrant couple should be found in the recovery of the couple's personal bond and that the surrounding characters should also support this process. The readers of upper-class women who enjoyed the family novels identified the nation and the family and recognized the marriage of princess Yangseong and Sogyeongmun as the national duty of the members of the prestigious family. On the other hand, the problem of the individual life becoming a means for the nation and the family was raised through the conflict between the couple. The family novel Yussisamdaerok(劉氏三代錄), which objectively looks at the relationship between nation and individual, can provide an opportunity to reflect on the causes and solutions of conflicts facing married immigrant families today.
