Heuk by Chunwon and the Love Trilogy by Ba Jin which were published in the 1930s are all novels with the theme of love and national movement as well as the spiritual reform movement.So far, no comparative studies have been made on the two novels both in Chinese and Korean academic circles. Therefore, based on the similarities between the two works, this paper focused on the female characters in the works.It was hoped that I can explore the female image of that period by comparing and analyzing their ideological changes in love and the national movement as well as their spiritual transformation. In both novels tragic female images were created in the love narration.Married women Zhengshan and Yuwen are both sexually oriented females.But Zhenshan finally chose to commit suicide with the guilt of betraying her husband and Yuwen also committed suicide by taking poison in despair. Yu Shun and Xiong Zhijun were both women who pursued the pure love and sacrificed themselves for it. But their love ended in failure. Both of the two novels depicted the tragic female images in the dark period at that time , whether they were the suicides of Zhenshan and Yuwen or the sacrifice of Yushun and Xiong Zhijun for love. Judging from the overall significance of these two works,the tragic scenes of women in the love narration can be said to be deliberately set up for the higher level of the national movement as well as the spiritual reform movement. Therefore, the image of the female national activists was created in the two novels .Zhenshan, after her rebirth , returned to the countryside together with her husband Xu Song.Although at this time,.Zhenshan was only passively involved in the rural enlightenment movement. However, after deeply confessing her fault and Xu song's imprisonment, zhenshan changed.She actively devoted herself to the rural enlightenment movement. In the end, she transformed herself into an nationalists in the spiritual reform movement.Inspired by foreign female revolutionaries, Li Peizhu gradually grew into a leader of a female revolutionary. As for the contradictory problem between love and Revolution,She also changed from the extreme idea that there was such a thing as love in the Revolution at the very beginning to the relative rational view that love could become the motive force for the revolution. Through the growth and the development of the female characters in the national movement and the spiritual reform movement, the two novels revealed the fact that only by actively participating in the national movement can we be really happy about ourselves. And the theme of the two novels that was to call on people to take an active part in the national movement stood out even more clearly .
