다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined aspects of interpretation of Mrs. Kim's death, focusing on JongYong-rok. In the writings of writers included in this book, Mrs. Kim was defined as a virtuous woman who died quietly and faithfully. And in these records, writers focused on revealing that the incredible work of Mrs. Kim was official, trustworthy, and very special. Mrs. Kim's death was interpreted as a death that had social meaning and evidenced the workings of ideology in reality. In this process of proof and interpretation, Mrs. Kim's words, actions, and body evidence were described in detail, showing that the virtuous woman's actions still exist. However, the meaning of her death was divorced from Mrs. Kim's actual life.
After Mrs. Kim's death, she received recognition from the country and praise from famous writers of the time, and her death was evaluated as worthy of being included in the scriptures and historical books, and she was reborn as an eternal being. Although it was said that Mrs. Kim received ‘compensation’ after her death through these rewards and evaluations, Mrs. Kim was neither the one who actually requested compensation nor the party who benefited from it. Mrs. Kim's daily life and body were publicly autopsied and the process of death was dissected due to social necessity, regardless of her will.
The benefits were received by those who led and participated in the awards and compliments. Mrs. Kim's in-laws proved the family's moral status and reputation, and the writers who wrote tributes fulfilled their social role and demonstrated the operation of ideology by evaluating Mrs. Kim's death.
