Exposition
Once there lived in the
province of Cholla, in the
town of Namwon, a
magistrate's son named Yi
Mong-Yong. And a lovely
maiden named Ch’unhyang.
Rising Action
Not long after the secret
marriage, the servant
brought Yi Mong-Yong a
message saying that his
father, newly appointed to
the King's cabinet, was
being recalled to the capitol.
Rising Action
Yi Mong-Yong, who was to accompany his
father, went that evening to Ch'unhyang and
told her the bad news.The young couple was
forced to say a tearful goodbye at the Magpie
Bridge.
Climax
The new Namwon magistrate
arrived and summoned Ch’unhyang
to be his wife. Ch’unhyang refused
because she is committed to Yi
Mong-Yong. Her defiance enraged
the magistrate and he ordered her
taken to prison and sentenced to
death.
Falling Action
Yi Mong-Yong arrived in Namwon and
learned of the situation. He dressed
himself as a beggar to enter the palace
during a feast given by the new
Namwon magistrate. He revealed
himself as an amhaengosa and
banished the evil magistrate to a
faraway land. He also saved
Ch’unhyang from miserable death.
Denouement
Yi Mong- Yong took his bride to
Seoul and presented her to his
parents. They accepted her as a
daughter-in-law. In time,
Ch'unhyang bore three sons and
two daughters, and they all lived
happily for many years come.
