『The visiter in sarang room and mother』A comparison between the original work and its adaptations - With a focus on the personality changes of female characters depicted in the films - Jeong, Hye-gyeong This essay will examine the changes in the female characters that occur in the film adaptations of the novel “The visiter in sarang room and mother”. The transformation of female characters in the adaptations not only reflects the realities of the times but also result in the public seeking out the original literary works. Therefore, a construction of systematic theories regarding adaptation processes is required in order to lead the way to a more desirable transformation in literary awareness. In particular, the distortion and transformation processes of the female characters are mainly due to the realities and circumstances of the respective periods and also the patriarchal perception still dominates those characters. Furthermore, there have been many cases of character distortion and damage to the work due to commercial purposes. However, comparative research of the female characters in different adaptations must continue if only for the creation of images formed by the spread of media, and it is the object in this essay that one cannot ignore the possibility of their direct influence on the consciousness of female consumers.
