Abstract

SukyeongNangjaJeon is a fairy tale which enjoyed a great popularity from the public in the late Joseon Dynasty by being read as a novel and enjoyed as pansori. Considering all the transcriptional different versions presently delivered are Korean version, it is estimated the major readers were women, and in regard that the different version used colloquial style or obscene language, it can be said that not only the noble women but also the common women transcribed and enjoyed this work. According to publication method, novel version SukyeongNangjaJeon can be regarded as transcription version, plate version, and printed book, also, according to different version, various differences, e.g. whether or not of marriage between Lim sojeo and Seongun, reborn Nangja's attitude problem, etc. according to different version, appear. This difference implies the significance of the latter part of the work was importantly recognized by the novel readers of that time as the difference of the latter part of the work. Different version of SukyeongNangjaJeon is largely divided into ‘water burial-reincarnation' line and ‘funeral parlor-reincarnation' line according to whether or not of funeral, again, ‘water burial-reincarnation' line is divided into the heavenly world, earthly life, and taoist world according to Nangja's positioned space. Recognition on tragic reality appears in ‘water burial- reincarnation-heavenly world' line, the readers of which line show the ten- dency to accomplish the affection between husband and wife in the heavenly world by escaping from the earthly world. It seemed that the readers of ‘water burial-reincarnation-earthly world' concern about how to live their life ‘here and now', aiming at family harmony, and the readers of ‘water burial-reincarnation-taoist world' wanted to prepare an imaginary exit of women's liberation through the alternative spaces called Okyeondong and Jookrimdong, SukyeongNangjaJeon is dealing with the present topic of the women who live ‘daughter-in-law' lives in Confucius ideology, and it seems that the readers of this novel tried to find out their own answer to the question of life in Nangja's life, i.e. ‘how and where to live?' that they con- cerned about.
