Sacrifice Concept in Kim’s “The Martyred” and Yi’s “Your Paradise” Yi’s “Your Paradise” and Kim’s “The Martyred” disclose the theme of sacrifice in a variety of ways and explain how it is possible to misunderstand the role of violence embedded in sacrifice, use sacrifice as one of the possible means of atonement, introduce sacrificial victims as innocent people and martyrdom as an explanation of human weakness, confuse self-transcendence with self-interest pursuit, and combine sacrifice with a political community due to its binding power and the ability to gather people with different living positions. These two works help to comprehend how to sacrifice may be accepted by society and accomplished by individuals. In his turn, Ch’ŏngjun Yi “Your Paradise” introduces another type of understanding of sacrifice and its urgency for a community and particular individuals. Richard Kim created “The Martyred” as a powerful reflection on the Korean War between 19, the role and impact of the Christian faith, the development of human conscience, and the meaning of truth. The current paper focuses on the two Asian works, the authors of which succeed in discussing the theme of sacrifice and its characteristics from a variety of perspectives.
