- Abstract
The article focuses on the portrayal of the mother-son relationship in "The Record of So Hyŏnsŏng", highlighting the dynamics between a widowed mother and her son within the context of seventeenth century Korean elite society. It examines how the mother, despite societal limitations, maintains a position of authority and influence over her son, contrasting sharply with earlier literary depictions of compassionate and heroic familial relationships.
