영문 초록

This study analyzed two stories titled <A maid who took a propitious site> and <Yangseungsun who met a weird mate> published in the Cheonggu Yadam , a representative historical storybook of the late Joseon Dynasty. Following this, it examined the strategies through which the two heroines of each story could improve their status and make inroads into upper society, subsequently elucidating the cultural capital underlying it. There was no choice but to entail a disparity between the noble families that have had a long history of maintaining the upper class for generations and the group of people who newly joined the aristocratic class due to economic and social capital. Both <A maid who took a propitious site> and <Yangseungsun who met a weird mate> are stories about female characters who used such a gap cleverly to enter the aristocracy. A husband from the aristocratic class was essential for the two women of low social standing to break away from their current class. The women at that time employed the maneuvers and plans based on the economic and social capitals to make their children an aristocrat even if they themselves failed. It was all possible because of cultural capitals. The two women, who have insight into the delicate dynamics of such an aristocratic society better than anyone else, quietly stepped down without further greed after accomplishing their initial goals. Although these two clever women could reach a certain social position by “imitating” the behaviors of the aristocrats, they also noticed that the original noble families tended to “distinguish” themselves from those that newer entrants to society. In other words, these women were wise enough to attempt to enter society only to the extent that they were permitted to, and then step down to the appropriate level, even if they ran furiously to the door to belong to an aristocratic class. In this context, it seems clear that the most essential factor in achieving the complicated plans and goals the two women employed for the rise of status was the “habitus” of aristocratic society.
