Summary of the thesis results: - The thesis has surveyed the character types of the "war widow" and the "court lady" in the flow of medieval Vietnamese literature, thereby affirming the appearance of these two character types in "Chinh Phu Ngam" and "Cung Oan Ngam Khuc," which are both inherited and groundbreaking. The "war widow" and the "court lady" became the main characters in large-scale poetic works, and simultaneously the central characters of a literary period. - The characters of the "war widow" and the "court lady" initiated the literary movement of Confucian scholars writing about women with humanistic inspiration. The two Confucian scholars Dang Tran Con and Nguyen Gia Thieu – men – did not stand on the patriarchal viewpoint of Confucianism to judge and discriminate against women. Instead, they cared about the right to life and the innermost feelings of women, boldly exploring the emotional lives of unfortunate women, their very instinctive desires for love and physical life. For the first time, female characters appear in gender-focused literature, viewed with respect and empathy by the author. This reveals the divergence in Confucian scholars' views on women's rights. - Identify some formulas for describing femininity and the psychology of characters in the two works. 11.
