AB - The author develops a story embedding poetry and prose in his works to vividly portray the main characters’ inner world and especially to deepen the heroine’s tragedy. The poetry and prose are properly placed from beginning to end to show a process of the two main characters’ relation to their tragic death.
Eokjina(憶秦娥), the song Yeotaek Lee(李汝澤) composed to show his affection to Choirang(崔娘) and his earnest desire to realize his destiny; Chileonjedlgu(七言絶句), the song Yeotack Lee is to calm down his impatience with after failing to be satisfied in the bridal bed because the bride is too young; Musanildanwoon(巫山一段雲), a song express his grief that he has to depart for the new post, leaving his young wife alone; Chilednyulsi(七言律詩), a song to voice his sorrow of not being with his wife after he retires from politics and travels to the capital; Jemoon(祭文), a funeral oration for Choirang who died from the fatigue of a journey on the way to see him for thousands miles; Chohonsa(招魂辭), a song sung by neighbors to mourn her tragic lives.
These poems are inserted to show that the two main characters’ relation itself is a tragedy from the start, and role of this poems is to foretell their tragic end. The author develops the story using only a description. But the story is made unique by embedding several verses within the prose to make the story more dramatic and raise the heroine’s tragic life. This is not used to display the author’s knowledge or style of writing but to function as a literary tool. And this is also based on the author’s excellent manner of writing.
