ABSTRACT

This paper is a research on the characteristics of gyubanggasa in view of its ultimate concern. Gyubanggasa is the products of rural gentry's economic situations and social positions of premodern society. The women of rural gentry generally had to marry in their early teenage, almost about 12-16 years age. They also had to live with their parents-in-law and their children, grandparents-in-law and their children. They had to serve this large family. To make worse, rural gentry's economic situations and social positions became worse and worse. Therefore the life of the women of rural gentry was extremely hard. Gyubanggasa is the discussion of their difficult task in their marriage life, and also is the decision of carrying out their task, and also is the communication-and-pause of their inner self.
