We can look around changed family figure in Pansori Novels as it is dealt with the collapse and changing process of feudal system of the late period of Chosun. So we can show three figures of family in Pansori Novels. First, Chunhyangjun, Simchungjun treat mother-daughter family and father- daughter family. We can show changing social figures through a daughter but that family is out of system. They success in spite of incomplete family. Second, Musookitaryung, Onggojipjun, Yichunpoongjun, Heunboojun treat family's problems in the paterfamilias system. They criticize immoral men in family. And they desire return to good husband or good father, that is, they want moral and real family man. And it is reader's desire too. In that process they bring women's ability into relief. Third, Byunganshoiga, Janggitaryung considers women's remarriage problem. But their future prospect is negative, because of conservative social views of a woman's remarriage. Thus, women can not free themselves from deep-rooted feudalism views. We show hope for the ideal family ideals that a family's understanding and desire harmonize with member of family by Pansori novels. One side we attention family be out of favor with social system. So we can show means an individual's life in family. Even wander individual desire the family endlessly.
