Plot

The year Dalnae turns three years old, a forest fire breaks out in the village, burning down her parents’ house. Dalnae's mother burns her hand trying to save her, and ends up getting leprosy. After that, her mother leaves home and lives in a cave in the mountains. Meanwhile, Dalnae grows up and promises to marry Bau, a young man in the village, but is hesitant because of the fact that her mother is leper. At that time, the village magistrate demands to have Dalnae, and Dalnae prepares to run away with Bau. That night, Bau learns that Dalnae's mother has leprosy. A few years later, Dalnae’s family, including Bau, become lepers and live deep in the mountains.

This is a play by Choi In-hun, published in 1977. Choi said that in this play, he portrayed a terrible situation with harsh conditions, and wrote about how a love greater than the difficulties is realized, rather than about how people become frustrated by those conditions. Dalnae’s acceptance of her mother who suffers from leprosy symbolizes a return to paradise and reconciliation with nature.

1977년에 발표된 최인훈의 희곡이다. 작가인 최인훈은 가혹한 조건을 설정하고 그 조건 때문에 좌절하는 이야기가 아니라 그 가혹함보다 큰 사랑이 실현되는 장면을 그려보았다고 말한 바 있다. 달내가 문둥병에 걸린 어머니를 받아들임으로써 낙원으로의 회귀, 자연과의 화해를 형상화하고 있다는 평가를 받는다.
