&nbsp;&nbsp;〈Gakjeosonyeonjeon〉, a Jeon(傳) style novel, is written by Jongun Byun(卞鍾運) and it comes from ≪Sojaejip(？齋集)≫, the writer"s collection of works. The main character, a monk loves women, wants to take a young man"s wife by giving money and never pays attention to his self-discipline. Also, he threatens and blackmails debtors to get that money. In a word, he is the evil. On the other hand, the young man who is a ssir？m(Korean wrestling) player looks like an unmanly person. But he shows his wisdom by suggesting the monk to fight with ssir？m because this man already knew the fact that the monk likes ssir？m. Besides, the monk died of this game and it shows the man"s extraordinariness. In other words, the young man who is a coward-like figure wins the vicious monk so the story tells "encouraging the good and punishing the evil".<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Ssir？m as a means of punishing the evil is thought that this theme is based on the law of power.
