A Common Theme In Pak Vanso’s Stories And Novels

Abstract

An unresolved issue in modern Korean literature is the tragic consequences of the Civil War and the reflection of this issue in the works of women writers. At a time when someone was a war veteran, someone was behind the front, someone was writing down what they heard, the writer Pak Vanso managed to reveal the consequences of the terrible war in the country through the image of women, in the example of the family. At first glance, the work of both storytellers and novelists depicts the daily worries of women, the image of a “free” woman in the era of industrialization, but in reality the plight of the people who suffered from the war and lost loved ones. The writer’s narrative skills are evident in both the story and the novel, and against the background of daily worries, the integral connection of a woman’s destiny with the sufferings of war is simple and vividly reflected.
