This study attempts to examine the internal consistency and delineate the foundation of the world view of the stories of \"Princess Bari\" and \"Saigeongbonpul-ee\", both of which depict activities of female characters more substantially than others. The story of \"Princess Bari\" is about a deity figure who leads the dead to the world of the dead and the story of \"Saigeongbonpul-ee\" is about a goddess who takes care of agricultural abundance. Both tales show commonality in that heroins in both tales with different roles, one involved in the living world, the other in the after life world, bring the dead to life by the flower attained during the trip to the \"West Heaven\". The commonality of the story structure is identified by the common narrative elements.
It was found out that the characters and ritual roles of the deity figures are closely related and this is how the deification of female characters is achieved. Princess Bari, who was abandoned on birth and raised by a supernatural being isolated from the human world, represents both life and death. Her closeness to death connects her character to the role of leading the dead and settling them as ancestor gods. On the other hand, Jacheongbi who was raised full of parental love, have overcome obstacles with dynamic liveliness to become affluent and productive is well suited for the role of an agricultural god.
However, the marginal aspects of female characters become more apparent as they set out the journey to the \'west heaven\' (life/death) in male clothing (male/female) for ailing parents and to revive the male characters. The conflicting aspects are integrated as the heroins earn the life-flower by solving problems they encounter. The female characters thus transforms into a divine being of multiple levels. The place that made this possible called \'flower bed of west heaven\' is the world of death as well as an ultimate life creating place. This is well represented by Jacheongbi who travels the \'west heaven\' and this world back and forth and bring lives back repeatedly. Moreover, it is found out that shamanistic perception of life that is, life is born from death, from the \'flower bed of the west heaven\' created by shamanism-worshipers who dream of eternity is founded on the life principles of the agricultural society, i.e., fruit, death, and rebirth.
