The butterfly lovers story, sometimes called the chinese romeo and juliet, has been enduringly popular in china and korea. In transforming gender and emotion, sookja cho demonstrates why the butterfly lovers story is more than just a popular love story. By unveiling the complexity of themes and messages concealed beneath the tale's modern classification as a tragic love story, this book reveals the tale as a rich academic subject for students of human emotions and relationships, comparative geography and culture, and narrative adaptation. By examining folk beliefs and ideas that abound in the narrative--including rebirth and a second life, the association of human souls and butterflies, and women's spiritual power--this book presents the butterfly lovers story as an example of local religious narrative.
