ABSTRACT

This paper, focused on the violent situations seen between the upper class woman characters in <WanWolHoeMaengYeon>, tries to clarify the causes of the violence while analyzing the psychological conflicts between the parties involved. Also, in parallel with the extraction of the viewpoint of the narrator within the literary work, this paper works on the investigation of what was it that enabled the creation of such violent woman characters in the last Joseon period when they are impossible to accept. As a result, we can find out the narrative motivation with which the narrator was able to create such violent woman characters from the attempt, with the help from the genre of novel, at leading the reader to taste the pleasure of turning over the very contemporary ideology, though temporarily, in which people only recognized women as subordinate existence within families. However, on the other hand, the narrator of <WanWolHoeMaengYeon> also revealed limitations in that she should maintain an attitude that was thoroughly subject to the ruling ideology at that time at least in the measure to dispose of the violent woman characters as even the creation of such violent woman characters could be taken as a violation of the ideology at that time.
