Adultery is famous theme in folk tales of Chosun Dynasty Period. But adultery in folktale contains not just the interesting story of affair but also the way of patriarchal control over his family. In this research, I examined two types of stories in which husband lets his wife commit adultery to have a son. In this case, adultery is justified as indispensible way to reserve the family lineage, therefore the stories concentrate their interest not on the wife's sexual fidelity, but on the parental authority to the offspring. In both stories, marital communication is the main reason for the son's parental authority and the husband's rights over his wife's body is always protected. The wives' desire for the baby is hidden beneath their husband's rights and responsibility, however the way of the expression of woman's desire is due to patriarchism.
