Abstract

This study analyzes the characters and roles of the main characters of puppets: Kkokdugaksi, Park Cheomji, Hong Dongji, Pyeongangamsa(Province Governor), and Dongbangsak based on the script included in the intangible cultural heritage research report on Gkokdugaksinoreum. It is possible that the play performed by various strolling players in the late Joseon Dynasty was formed by the fusion of puppet shows into an omnibus form. The results of this study are as follows. First, Kkokdugaksinoreum, designated as National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 1964, can be formed by integrating puppetry performed in the late Joseon Dynasty with main puppets: Park Cheomji, Hong Dongji, and Pyeongan Gamsa. Second, Kkokdugaksi is a character who represents the female image of a wise mother and good wife. She takes the lead in deciding her own life, and has two sides: obedient and enterprising. Third, Park Cheomji is a character obsessed with bravado and a sense of authority in a patriarchal, male-centered society.He is a symbol of the authoritarian and macho culture. Fourth, Hong Dong-ji represents a naive and inarticulate, but bright and resourceful personality. Its character is an active grassroots such as an altruistic person who uses his power for the benefit of others. Fifth, Pyeongangamsa who symbolizes the power class is blind and ignorant linked to political corruption. However, he has extremely filial piety. Sixth, Dongbangsak plays the role of comforting hardships and difficulties like a religious leader. As differentiated into two characters, Gumbeoggi and Mukdaesa, his attractive character traits disappear. The results of this study are significant to be used for the restoration and secondary creation of traditional puppet plays by identifying the nature of the main characters of Korea puppet play.
