ABSTRACT

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Korea and China were forced into a historical turning point by the invasion of the Japanese Empire and Western powers. Foreign invasions and extortion have sent shockwaves through the two countries, but on the other hand, they have made indirect contributions to accelerating the modernization of both societies. Enlightenment literature began to emerge from the dual background of the shock of Western civilization and the exploitation of the country. At that time, The development of modern literature in the modern era was the first time that the young people had studied Western knowledge.It is mainly based on criticism of traditional culture and institutions, and the aim of promoting modern advanced culture is to criticize traditional culture and institutions.ChImonIsts are always standing on education and leading the people's position to create their own work.For them, women who have been tortured and persecuted under feudal systems are the main groups of concern.This means that the women's liberation banner, which they raise, can not be confused with feminism. Women are encouraged to free themselves from the feudal system and to allow women to accept equal education in order to promote the modernization of society. In particular, if you look at enlightened literature from the early 20th century, Lee Kwangsoo's Young Man's Grief and Luo Zarun's Love or Pain, which were published in late 1910, are some of the most representative short stories. Starting from this point in the school, we will look at the works of Lee Kwang-soo's Young Man's Grief and Luojarun's Love or Pain from the perspective of women's enlightenment. These two works, as enlightened novels, clearly demonstrated the tragic fate of male intellectuals, namely how feudal family systems destroy and suppress people's lives in the eyes of the author, and traditional women in them. In Young Man's Grief the author also showed a transitional female figure standing between feudal and modern features, and through these characters the writer showed an evolutionary attitude toward female enlightenment. And Love or Pain shaped the ideal fictional new woman figure of Wu Shu-ying, showing the author's bold and revolutionary attitude toward women's liberation.
