Reflective Contemplation on Reading Folk-tales

&nbsp;&nbsp;It has been commonly thought that tales passed down to us by verbal and literal means have sublime lessons by which we should be guided and thus have been translated such as. Since they have survived so long ages, certain tales, we definitely guess. contain innocent lessons and moral values in themselves. However, it is true that many tales delivered in an story-telling auditorium or theater have not so much exquisite and refined forms as distorted and deteriorated ones. Furthermore, when false interpretations of tale-performers added into the category of the texts of tales. the problems can be made worse.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This thesis is directly aimed at pointing out the problems concerned with the reading and interpretation of tales through investigating the missing parts of a text in reading tales.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In case of oral folk tales, there can be discrepancy between the standpoint of a tale-performer and the contents of a tale. That&quot;s because in his delivery tale-performer can sometimes reveal some biased points of view toward the title-role character of a tale. In 〈&quot;wise woman&quot; folk-tales〉, for instance, the tale-performer&quot;s personal sexual context can have an effect on its entextualization, therefore, treatments toward a woman are heavily accidental and momentary compared with the problem-solving woman. As he or she is not a creator but a herald of a text. any Tale-performer can deliver the text in an irrelevant way or in a just opposite way to the original meaning.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In case of a written folk tale, the deliverer, who is not a creator, either, can have a strong possibility of doing &quot;tale-edit&quot; according to his or her own purpose, thanks to the fact he or she is totally free from the perform-event. Accordingly, contrary to oral folk tales, written folk tales never undertake the process regarded &quot;mistakes.&quot;<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Seemingly, written folk tales contain highly devised, different meanings, intentionally revealing the problematic editions. SamKuk YouSa(三國遺事), which is made up of a group of tales well organized according to individual parts, can be called the best model. The chapter PiEun(避隱) in SamKukYouSa(三國遺事), a tale unsuitable to its chapter, is awkwardly arranged in its chapter and thus allows the intention of the editor to be highlighted and shown to readers.
