ABSTRACT

One of the early hero novels, <Jang Baek Jeon> is a work of which its main character challenges for the emperor but fails it on the period of the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty. This study’s main idea is Jang Baek’s strong relationship orientation. He experiences internal crises after the separation from his family, forming his identity with ascetic and assistants. But he still shows deviation from his social identity. To him, it does not contradict self-realization by getting emperor’s position and reunion of family. <Jang Baek Jeon> has two axes which are the heroism in the middle of the turbulent age, and family orientation. On the two axes, it is the achievement of this work interweaving desire of fame and family affection closely by Jang Baek who has strong relationship orientation.
