Questions

• In Choson Korea, what were the chief expectations for yangban women?
• What were the chief expectations for yangban men?
• How did a yangban husband and wife regard each other? What impressions did they seek to convey (through their behaviors and attitudes) to the people outside their family - and to society?
• How did economy and economizing factor into these guidelines?
• When writing your response, it is not necessary to answer these questions one by one. Rather, use the questions as a way to think about the texts. Then, when you write your posting, create your own topical focus to respond to these very interesting glimpses into cultural and social life in Choson Korea.
