Abstract

Objectives In this study aim to achieve a serious consideration of children by exploring our unique view of children using Korean novels from the late Joseon Dynasty.
 Methods For this purpose, we extracted documents meaningful for children's understanding from the list of 󰡔Seonbon Haeje 11󰡕, which organizes classic novels owned by the National Library of Korea, and analyzed children's views according to the children's view analysis model.
 Results First, children in the Joseon Dynasty were the objects of realistic trials, but they were also the objects of affection in the hope that they would achieve their aspirations and wishes to overcome them. Second, it is an extraordinary object that can be taught a lesson and a precious member of a family that can fully develop into such a being.
 Conclusions On the surface, children are the subject of strict education and growth that must follow Confucian concepts and values, but on the other side, the people's aspirations include a complex view of children as affectionate objects who want to escape from realistic pain and suffering and grow up in a warm and safe environment reflected.
