감정 조작과 과부-열녀담의 정전화: <열녀함양박씨전>을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper analyzes Park ji won’s <Yeolleohamyangpakssijeon> focusing on manipulation of emotions. Starting from the premise that the preface and the main story of <Yeolleohamyangpakssijeon> seemed to be contradictory but closely embody one theme, Park Ji-won was confirmed that he was placing or manipulating emotions of faithful widow in a specific way for making image of ideal woman who kept royalty to her husband. In the first part of the preface, borrowing the concept of ‘social atom’ from social physics, we analyzed that the spread of faithful behavior of women could be understood as an example of imitation and reinforcement behavior. Atoms are influenced by other atoms to imitate or reinforce their behavior and form a pattern in real world. Human behavior as a social atom is not much different. In most cases, imitation is a strategy for survival to social atom, but sometimes it is reinforced by actions that are not common sense, and Park Ji-won captured the blind death of widows as a phenomenon. In addition, Park Ji-won showed that he was critical to reproduced yeol-neyo and yeol-neyo-jeon reproduced by imitation and reinforcement. Next, we examined the contrasting aspects of the faithful widow and the widow who commit suicide and derived the theme of the work. Yeonam tried to show what true ‘yeol’ was through a fictional character, a faithful widow, and criticized the falsehood of imitation through the death of Ham Yang-Park. The method of emotion manipulation used in the process is as follows. First of all, faithful widow who did not commit suicide made her own emotion, and she made her readers unquestionable about the existence of such a character through the crooked description and the existence of coins worn out. On the other hand, Park ji-won revealed the falsehood of indulgence by eliminating HamYang-park’s emotions and conveying her tracks only through the mouths of others. And he revealed the falsehood of ‘yeol’, saying that it was close to the declaration of abandonment to the social gaze to the widow and realistic adversity In other words, By highlighting the sexual desire and emotions of the widow, he emphasized that the truth of human being is found in the subject with emotions, and emphasized this by contrasting with the abusive imitation according to the cause without emotion. This contrast reflects the class consciousness of Yeonam as a spirit in charge of the world and a man of authority to teach the people morals.
