In the short story, Gyeong-hee continues to keep the second curtains drawn, even after being told not to by a government official. Do you think she does this because she is brave? Why or why not? Do you think her behavior in the future will be different, now that she has been expelled from the capital?

She did not do this out of courage, but out of fear. That's because Gyeong-hee closes the curtains because she is too afraid to look at the Eobi that features the photo of North Korea's supreme leader. Her expulsion will not change this behavior, since fear is a sensation that she cannot control in any way.

Explanation:

That question is about the short story "City of Specters" that tells the story of how a North Korean woman disobeys local laws by wearing curtains that prevent her from seeing photographs of North Korea's supreme leader. This causes her to be seen as a spy and to suffer government reprisals. The short story seeks to show how fear and paranoia are involved in societies with great social pressure and control.
