ABSTRACT

This study examined the expectations of novel readers and its meanings in the early 20th century in a world created by monotheistic narratives of Baegnyeonjeon. This novel, which was a story that was enjoyed in the form of Yadam since the late 19th century, has been widely read in the early 20th century. Baegnyeonjeon was created as a novel, actively deploying Minor characters and expanding their role. As a result, Minor Character proved the value of the main character, proved morality, and led readers to have an optimistic view of their actions. Park Yil Yong, the male protagonist in the halo of the people around him, is a descendant of the fallen family, but he internalizes the motivation for success given by Baegnyeon and endures the success of traditional men. Baegnyeon, through her marriage, pursued a desire to acquire a proper nobility, and she also managed the treasury and became the landowner of the local village and equipped the house of the noble family of Seoul. The success of these couples, originally hoped for by Baegnyeon, follows the manner in which the descendants of the fallen village nobility chose to restore their social status from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. However, this success was a very rare possibility for those who had difficulty in having a vision for the new environment, although it was hard to achieve in the time and system, but it was unforgivable. Baegnyeonjeon realizes the wishes of Yil Yong and Baegnyeon, and is in a position to open a dead end door to reality without breakthrough.
