AB - This paper tries to examine the value and the tendency of three-generation stories of the Chosun Dynasty based on theory of narration. As a first step, I chose Sohyunseonglok and attempted to analyse its showing methodology such as description, conversation, and the insertion of letters or public statements which are called Phoumun(表文). Showing methodology is used to vivify and specify scenes of this work and leads readers to participate in experiencing and judging the story. In this sense, narrative that is written in showing methodology induces more active reading process from readers than narrative that is written in the writer’s unilateral perspective does. Another notable thing of showing methodology in Sohyunseonglok is that lots of knowledge about Confucian scripture and Chinese history are found. This indicates the fact that the writer assumed readers to have a similar intellectual background with him who can fully understand and enjoy that kind of knowledge. Moreover, the narrator is found to never fully describe the scene if it is considered as shallow or uneducated. The way ugly women are described or the way of developing the story tells this tendency. Conclusively, I can find that the story of this work does not merely admire Confucian principles, but is based on the narrator’s intention to form the decent culture of the upper class. From the choice of vocabularies to the intention of the narrator, Sohyunseonglok pursues Confucian decency.
