AB - This study discusses the characteristics and values of classical literature as part of finding a humanistic solution to the disconnection, isolation, depression and anger felt by modern people. While applying the concept “story-in-depth” of literary therapeutics, the “story-in-depth of text” of classical novels and the “story-in-depth of self” of female readers were linked. Particular attention was paid to existential expansion and social solidarity through narrative connections and connections inside and outside the works. This approach was considered a powerful pathway to overcome the psychological disconnection as a current problem. Women in traditional Korean society had to endure a more severe disconnection and isolation than modern people. It was a lifelong self- isolation situation. It was a classic novel that conveyed comfort to these women and opened a psychological outlet. Cnovels inclde Guunmong(九雲夢), Sassinamjeonggi(謝氏南征記), Manboksajeopogi(萬福寺樗蒲記), Banghanlim󰠀jeon(方翰林傳〉, and Sukhyangjeon(淑香傳〉. While reflecting the reality of the lives of women of the day, they showed the possible world beyond reality and made it internal. The fictional imagination expressed by these works is not to be regarded as a mere escape fantasy. It has a function of surpassing the limits of reality and establishing people as subjects of life while vividly reflecting the real situation like a “tomb”. It was inherent in the text of the work, and it was “constructed” through readers’ subjective reading. The literary process was an existential struggle for self-discovery and self-realization. The significance of the narrative connection between classical novels and female readers is not limited to personal private experiences. It served as a driving force for social change while expressing synchronic and diachronic connectivity. Its aesthetic energy has achieved psycho󰠀logical solidarity that transcends gender and class. it also led to real resistance and practice, breaking social restrictions and repression. The freedom we have today result from the efforts of “finding narrative way” carried out in all directions in the past. To achieve the fundamental connection and communication beyond the modern isolation and disconnection, we need to reflect on the aesthetic and existential struggle that has progressed through classical literature and make it a new meaning.
