A Study of the Internal and External Area and the Narrator's Duality in SSang-Hwa-Jeom

In SSang-Hwa-Jeom, there appear a woman narrator who had sexual act with a man in the house and the other woman narrator who shows a reaction to the news outside the house. SSang-Hwa-Jeom is made up of four stanzas, all of which consist of 6 lines with meaningful words. The first 4 lines represent what the woman narrator inside the house says and the last 2 lines represent what the woman narrator outside says. In SSang-Hwa-Jeom the two narrators' consciousness moves between the sphere of instinct and that of morality. One shows the conscience to feel ashamed of her sexual act with a man although she remains in the closed area; on the other hand, the other describes the lively instinct to have sexual relations remaining in the open area. SSang-Hwa-Jeom superbly describes the women's fundamental conflicts while they are suffering endlessly between instinct and morality.
