AB - Aspects and Meaning-system of ‘Metamorphosis’ in Korean Mythology Oh, Se-Jeong This thesis is to research aspects and meaning-system of ‘metamorphosis’ in Korean mythology. The various metamorphoses in Korean myths that have foundation myths, shaman myths and creation myths can be classified roughly into three types; metamorphoses of not-human being toward human being, metamorphoses of not-divinity toward the divinity and metamorphoses of human or divinity toward the natural object as animals and plants. Each types also have sub-types. These metamorphoses in myths show the system and law of thought problems in reference to the natural which cannot be expressed within rationalization and through the ordinary signs but men believe firmly in actually, such as Gods, the creator, a spirit, the origin of earth, the first king, the identity and relationship of the beings, etc. And above all, the metamorphoses explain to us how three different beings established relations between each other. Through the metamorphoses we can find the possibility to get the message and comprehend the signification of the myths.
