Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the problematic aspects of the relationship between parents and their children and the meaning of discourse of filial duty and undutifulness in didactic gasa. First of all the problematic aspects of the relationship between parents and their children in didactic gasa are as follows. The first problematic aspect is forgetting filial duty. Children disobey their parents and have their own way. The second problematic aspect is fading the meaning of affection between father and son and alienating parents. As parents grow older they feel loneliness and sense of alienation. The third problematic aspect is expressing the trouble with the relationship between parents and their children and raising the necessity of self-reflection. The meaning of discourse of filial duty and undutifulness in didactic gasa is as follows. The first, old parents express physical and mental pain and show their desire for communication between their children. It is important that the problem of filial duty and undutifulness is in connection with getting old. The second, along with changes in social conditions the character of undutiful child is transformed. The character of undutiful child addicted to liquor or sex and gambling appeared due to the development of commodity money economy and the spread of consumption of entertainment. In case that the problem of a family caused by undutifulness spreads in local society, we know that filial duty is a most fundamental virtue for human life.
