The literature "Khun Chang, Khun Phaen" is one that Thai people know well. There are three main characters: Khun Phaen, Khun Chang, and Mrs. Wanthong. This literature has many angles and perspectives, reflecting Thai society very well.
Reflects belief in supernatural things. Whether it was in the past Or nowadays there are many people. Who believe in these things, raising ghosts, raising golden children, Nang Kwak, or some people still go to a witch doctor to do magic for them.
It reflects the inequality in society of women and men in the story of Khun Chang and Khun Phaen. When you look closely, it can be clearly seen that women in those days had no rights. There is no sound to do what you want. Being led by adults and powerful people, sometimes you have to stay with someone you don't love.
Because my parents put me in an arranged marriage Some of this still exists today. Not being treated fairly in the decision Is it wrong for her to love Khun Phaen? So why did Khun Phaen have a new wife? Then he came back and saw the woman who had been tricked into thinking that Khun Phaen was dead. Then my mother asked me to marry Khun Chang. Is it her fault that Khun Phaen came back and saw her and accused her of being a two-hearted woman?
Was she wrong in deciding to go with Khun Phaen again? Is it her fault that Khun Chang was abducted again because Khun Chang pretended it was a royal command? Is it wrong for her to go with her own child? What was wrong with her that people labeled her as a double-minded woman? Is it her fault that the person who loved her was the reason that she had to be executed?
When will women receive full justice? Look at the news about murder and rape. It still exists every day. When will women be safe from men's endless desires?
