Abstract
The narrative about Jeon Hye-rin's life, named in the title, refers to a newly woven or created narrative based on Jeon's entire life. It is not created by Jeon Hye-rin, but it means a text in which another writer rewrote Jeon Hye-rin's life after Jeon Hye-rin's death. Lee Deok-hee's Jeon Hye-rin is an assessment of Jeon Hye-rin's life with an advantage in spirit, and it is meaningful in that it is the first biography that made Jeon Hye-rin's entire life a story for the first time from a woman's point of view. And the biggest feature is that the narrative's conclusion raises the existence of ‘sister soul’. It makes us think about what sex was in Jeon Hye-rin's consciousness. The ‘sister soul’, which Jeon Hye-rin said, makes us think about the relationship between sisterhood and brotherhood that solidifies sexual inequality in a male-dominated society, etc. Lee Deok-hee's text is a creation with a flexible composition in that it has drawn such a meaningful problem.
