magistrate Byon Satdo sets eyes on Chun Hyang, the term undying love takes on special meaning: she has to choose between Mong Yong and life. In Confucian society, one essential principle was the proper relationship between husband and wife, but which extends to all men and women: Woman is subject to man. Chun Hyang honored her commitment to her husband at the risk of her life. Another Confucian principle here is the one that defined the proper relationship between ruler and the ruled. Of course, the subject is supposed to be loyal and obedient to the ruler. But there is another side to this principle: the superior also has an obligation to care for the inferior. One aristocrat in this story violates this obligation. TERMS OF USE The edition that was published by Seoul Selection (2004) is now out of print.
