- summarize/debrief what was talked about in body
- show explicitly how we can see the least slight aspects of similarities and difference within each culture

# data[].attributes.body
- because of the different region, (obviously) the garments are different: a seal skin and a silk robe --> could give us a hint of different lifestyles/customs of the two(BUT DOES NOT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!!! JUST GIVING EXAMPLES/GLIMPSE OF SCOTLAND AND KOREA)
-

# data[].attributes.body
- both seal and fairy DOES NOT LOOK BACK when they finally find their garment; they run away from their family and free from the "responsibilities/obligations"
- could be seen as "a hope for all married women to escape from marriage and let go ov everything" NO; more like "the general trend/perception/idea of marriage being forced and against what these women really wanted, or simply showing that these women were not ready for marriage and the responsibilities just yet"
- "maybe showing the struggles of a women during that time"

# data[].attributes.body
- setting: sea vs mountain
= sea: scotland; fishing and the harsh, cold weather --> made them fish for animals that have high fat density --> seals + can be seen easily + is a saying that seals/beluga whales could have been models of mermaids

= mountain: korea; very small territory and most of "land" are hills and valleys and mountains --> mt gum-gang is also known to be a sacred, significant role in korean culture --> figures of 선녀 + 산신령 --> a korean style of magical figures like a sage and its fairy

==> the difference in culture gives us an exposure to each region and the fact that we see the difference in region helps us imagine/think of the difference of context background for each story

# data[].attributes.body
- NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD'T ASSUME YOU CAN KNOW EVERYTHING OF SCOTLAND AND KOREAN JUST BASED FROM TWO STORIES

- more like: although the difference in region/culture, we still see a similarity from both stories --> showing how marriage could possibly mean similar to women around the world
- the fact of women oppression and possession by claiming them can be seen from each story despite the distance btw the two countries
- fascinating to see how "this was the ideal household" around the world

# data[].attributes.body
- the men take their magic away = taking away their independence and make them depend on the "human"
- the fact that the men just take the clothes "from curiosity" and claim them to be wives is obscure; the men have also seen their "beauty(naked bodies)" is that even legitimate to do so?
- although men say "they will love them forever", audience does not see that in the story. if they did do it, it would rather be a romantic love story than a tragic getaway story

# data[].attributes.body
- both seal and fairy were free from oppression and could change easily(or that is assumed in the story)
- have independence as in they freely choose when to change from seal/fairy to human and when to go to mortal land
- i think also represents maiden life of being free

# data[].attributes.body
- the garments aren't JUST garments and aren't JUST symbols of their other identity.
- i mean yes it is but more to it

# data[].attributes.body
- what does the clothes mean to them: symbolizes their other identity; true form as they are more familiar to that form
- how the clothes are shown: seal skin vs. enchanted clothes

# data[].attributes.body
- shape-shifting figures/animal brides
- "culture"; region. not like the whole thing of scotland and korea

# data[].attributes.body
- the seal bride
- the fairy and the wood cutter
