노예
"노예" means "slave" in English.
Here, '노예' is used to refer to individuals who are subject to slavery within the context of discussing the slave system.
그는 우리에게 자유를 주기 위해 노예 제도를 폐지하려 했다.
He tried to abolish slavery to grant us freedom.
In this usage, '노예' is metaphorically applied to describe someone being excessively burdened by work, likening their condition to that of a slave.
그녀는 일을 너무 많이 해서 자신을 노예처럼 느낀다.
She feels like a slave because she works excessively.
This example uses '노예' figuratively to express complete devotion or subjugation to an abstract concept, in this case, truth.
