AB - The oral-narrative of the faithful son transformed into tiger(‘효자호랑이’) is the story about a man that failed to transform into tiger because his wife had burnt the book to make the transformation possible. Tragic plot of the story includes a narrative kernel that the sacred ‘male’ runs into pathos because of hamartia(tragic flaw) representing female’s faults depending on tragic logical necessity. The hierarchical-contrastive structure of the sacred and the profane is exhibited in components of the narrative. It's important to note that the image of ‘male’ represents the sacred and the image of ‘female’ the profane, through which the categories of the gender as ‘male’ and ‘female’ are naturalized and distinguished. This strategy has made us to regard the primordial nature of the sacred ‘male’ as superior to the profane ‘female’, to justify and inscribe it in his and her identity unconsciously as well. The performance of oral-narratives such as the faithful son transformed into tiger(‘효자호랑이’) is the processes of enacting the gender-identity of male or female and the performative mechanism is the matrix which produces the gendered subject. Furthermore, when the performance of the story presents the structure having an effect of initiation into a society, it works on individual performers as a normalization system based on the criterion and standard of social homogenization. But the symptoms of cleavage and escape are revealed as logical defects which necessarily exist in the project of the gendered. The gender-border of the male which is made by objectifying the female exclusively, depends on the gender-border of the female logically, since its category cannot be constructed without establishing the boundary of ‘female’. And the male-subject who is an unstable being cannot but call for the female-images to make an alibi to deny melancholy and psychic lack. So the analysis of narrative and performance of the oral-narrative, "the faithful son transformed into tiger", makes it possible to discover that the gendered project connotes a contradiction and cracking in itself.
