한국어 초록

세상의 절반은 여성이라고 한다. 그러나 여성은 세상 속에서 절반의 목소리를 지니지는 못해왔다. 오랜 세월 여성들은 독립된 개체로, 남성과 동등한 인격을 지닌 존재로 인정되지 못했다. 여성들은 ‘목소리 큰’ 남성들에 의해 남성보다 열등한 존재, 남성들의 부속물로 규정되어 왔다. 그러다가 사회가 변화하고 여성들이 자각하기 시작하면서, 여성들은 남성의 부속물이 아닌 독립된 개체로 인정받기 시작하였다.
여성들의 이러한 삶의 모습은 오랜 시간 사람들과 함께 숨쉬어 온 설화 속에서 확인할 수 있다. 설화에는 오랜 침묵의 시간을 보내는 여성들의 삶과 함께 때때로 지혜롭고 주체적인 여성들의 모습이 나타난다. 이들의 모습은 오늘날 거의 비슷한 문제를 안고 사는 여성들에게 많은 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

영어 초록

In this story, the governor bets his property and the official his wife on the governor's riddles. The official's wife faces the problem that she is the object of the bet. In this kind of stories, usually the wife's child confronts the governor about the bet. But in this story, the wife herself faces the governor. The wife is inferior to the governor in some respects such as sexes and social classes.
The governor's riddles has two types of characteristics. The first is that he asks the questions no one, including the governor himself, can answer. The second is that his questions cause sexual discourse by mentioning sexual organs.
The wife solves the first type of riddles by telling things based on her actual experiences. Then answers the second type by substituting men's sexual organs for the animals'. By doing so, she eliminates the sexual significance and neutralizes the implication.
However, this story is usually told by men. Thus the images of women in this story can reflect the women's images that men have.
To begin with, this story is written in masculine view in that they bet on a woman. But the woman in this story solves her problem for herself.
Also, the wife's speaking strategy has two aspects of women. So it shows dualism.
It reveals men's attitude toward women that she solves riddles through experiences. Men think women lack reasoning skills so only through experiences can women make their standpoint clear. But contrary to men's thought, this indicates women's experiences can be a resistance discourse.
Substituting men's sexual organs for the animals' also shows men's view that sex is a taboo subject for women. But her using animals' organs means women can regard men's organs as things. So it can be a resistance discourse that warns men not to think of women's sex as things.
In this respect, the woman in 󰡔The Bet Story between a Local Governor and an Official's Wife󰡕 has not only the negative aspect but the affirmative aspect of women.
