Baridegi

 

I want to introduce a foolish folk tales. It’s name is Baridegi, This story tell us that Korea was very ignorant and conservative society to women. I was very angry. Why were women always discriminated in the all over the world.  I am not a feminist, but  I cannot stand that. There was a king. When he was getting married to her lover, a fortuneteller said ” If you married now, you will have only 7 daughters. and If you marry next year, you will have 7 sons. He neglected his advise and married. After married his fortuneteller’s advise realized. The king was so angry due to  having only daughter, so he threw  away her last daughter, BAridegi, but she grew up well with his stepmother and father. Suddenly the king was very sick. at that time her mother said the king is your father, so BAridegi found good medicine despite adversity. Finally she saved her father’s life, they lived happily. This story showed that discrimination of women. At that time a notion of preferring to a son to daughter is very absolute notion. There are no individual responsibility and equality.
