영웅소설 속 여성 유망민의 형상화 양상과 그 의미

Abstract

Many wandering people appear in heroic novels. With paying attention to the wandering women among the rest, this writing examines about with which image they are embodied in a work and about what its containing significance is in a work. As Hong Gye-wol in <Honggyewol-jeon> is a character of representing a female figure, she shows the female image for advancing to the public sphere. Ms. Jang in <Yuchungryeol-jeon> and Mrs. Wang in <Joung-jeon> simultaneously show the image of a victim as a guardian of the young male hero and as an individual woman. Gang So-jeo in <Yuchungryeol-jeon> and Jang So-jeo in <Joung-jeon> are emphasized the image as a wife who is put in the crisis of foregoing integrity(毁節) in the wandering situation. Sisters Chae-ran and Chae-ok in <Yangpung-jeon> appear as the ex-wife' daughters who wander here and there(流離) due to the stepmother. As for a meaning that can be elicited through this, Hong Gye-wol's brief sketch of the wandering image can be known to function as a device for protecting a little girl. Figuring out a significance available for being elicited through this, first of all, a work leads to being able to know that a woman's crucifix is being highlighted as a second-class citizen in the late Joseon period through the wandering women. And the wandering women's hardship in three works are being intensified even if a woman's wandering image is essential in heroic novels. This is contributing to drawing readers' interest with emphasizing the heroism in the leading male who will play an active part in the latter half of the work.
