Abstract

This paper aims at studying a funeral oration written in Hangul. A funeral oration in Hangul is mainly written by women. This paper also studies for funeral orations in Hangul which have been written by women. GenMoonLok is a book owned by Myungseon Lee and now kept in our National Museum of Korea. This book includes nine editions of orations in Hangul. This paper reviewed the writing methods shown in those nine editions of orations. First, those orations combine daily miscellaneous episodes with the customary exaggerations. In addition, it was confirmed that those were extending their contents with some rhythm. Second, they use such conventional stereotyped phrases as 'OHoTongJae', expressing phrases composed of other contents around this phrase. Such organization enables us to understand that various stories about their family members around the deceased were edited and organized together. Such writing characteristics acted as a factor oriented to the categorical variations for orations, which have been studied on the categorical variations with both the oration with fictitious facts and the oration with a fictitious biography. In other words, the writing method called rhythmical expansion brought forward the change as lyrics. In addition, the compilatory organization central to relationships, writing method focusing on the specific daily life and special circumstances, utilization of an authentic precedent, and appropriate arrangement of customary expressions were identified as the points on which a fictitious biography is converged.
