ABSTRACT

The aim of this chapter is to synthesize the findings made in the previous chapters so that a description of Su-un's self-image can be posited. As has been noted, Su-un's self-image changed significantly over the four-year period from the time immediately preceding his encounter with the Lord of Heaven on Mt Gumi to the moment of his execution. The focus will be on Su-un's self-image as he faced imminent death, as this can be considered to be the defining moment in the development of this image.
