This thesis is object to inquire into the ghost's role as intermediator and inclination toward another world in the 『Gum-o-shin-hwa』.
The ghost in the 『Gum-o-shin-hwa』 was perceived from the resemblance of the character's role in myths and another world tales. These characters had carried the culture from another world to this world through association, and they also gave the chance for the solitary and miserable human being in this world to experience another world. Eventually, we could see the character's role as an intermediator and savior to lead the human being toward another world.
This kind of modality from 『Gum-o-shin-hwa』 was originated from, Kim si-sup, his desire which wiped out the contradiction, absurdity and irrationality in this world and made a fair and rational world. Like this kind of petition can be traced from the ancients. Kim si-sup adopted this thought and created 『Gum-o-shin-hwa』. It could be presumed that he tried to free himself from his own unhappiness through the work.
Therefore, the ghost in the 『Gum-o-shin-hwa』 saved the solitary and unhappy human being from the reality and did a intermediator's role for them to turn another world.
