<창란호연록(昌蘭好緣錄)>에 활용된 ‘앵혈(鶯血)모티프’의 기능과 그 의미

Abstract

<Changnanhoyeollok> is the leading role of the male and female characters, Jang-hee and Han Nan-hee, who are the head of two families. It is one of the most popular Korean novels of the late Joseon Dynasty for its conflicts and various incidents caused by them. The study's overview of the work was made earlier in the day, which led to its comparison with other late Joseon Dynasty novels of similar type. However, it is still not easy to explore the narrative content in more detail through the motif used in the work. Therefore, among the various styles used in the work, I would like to consider the aspects of the motif shown in ‘Aenghyeol’. The application of ‘Aenghyeol motif’ here results in more in the conflict between male and female main characters than in displaying their chastity or purity. It is more prominent in function of the original ‘Aenghyeol motif’. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to observe the effect of utilizing a motif by paying attention to the use of the ‘Aenghyeol motif’ and to discover its meaning. The use of ‘Aenghyeol motif’ in Joseon Dynasty novels is not difficult to examine. The ‘Aenghyeol motif’ can show the house of women characters, birth year, arranged marriage, sexual purity and poor treatment. In <Changnanhoyeollok> the heroine's father inserts an impressionist's name in her daughter's arm as an aenghyeol. The effects of the widely-cautioned motif are explained below. The fact that they have chosen the wed ahead of time is not only symbolic of purity, but also visualized with the heroine's signature, is to visualize the side effects of forced marriage. It also suggests what will happen like son-in-law's joking on father-in-law. The bond between family and family suggests that it is also a factor in the development of the conflict between newly formed relationships. Thus, the singular event resulting from the insertion of an ‘Aenghyeol motif’ in an epic structure. The function and significance of this can be considered as more effective representations of the distinctive points of the work <Changnanhoyeollok>.
