This article is devoted to a scholarly analysis of allegorical art in the work “The Convicted Mouse” by one of the prominent representatives of Korean literature, Leem Jae. The study examines the artistic and aesthetic characteristics of the symbolic images created in the work, as well as their socio-philosophical significance.
