The daily life of mythical society differs from that of modern society or modernity. I call it mythical life, and found that it is very unique in comparison with modern daily life by examining a few myths of Jeju-island.
,the creation myth of Jeju-island, shows the order of this universe and the ethics of our living in this world. The heaven controls 'isung(this world)' and 'jeosung(other world)', and 'isung' is composed of the Nature, Human and Living Creature. It is not the Human but the Nature that controls the other parts of this world, and the Nature is controled by the God of Heaven. Therefore, we can says that shows the status of the Human in this universe and this world, and the ideal type of mythical life. Moreover, says that the appearance of king-man is forbidden in this world by showing that 'Sumyong janja', who had a lust for power to human, was punished by 'Chonjiwang(the king of heaven-earth)'. The king is not the man but the God. The desire of man to govern or rule over this world, which is a important feature of modernity, is not allowed in myth and mythical universe. I think that this is the uniqueness of mythical ethics differs from that of modern's. By the way, in a communal society based on mythical principles and ethics, how can the human's experience in real world be made into myths? I examined
(myth of 'Chilsung'; a myth about the god of wealth)> for example. I focused on the fact that 'Chilsung' is a god has a body of snake but a snake is tabooed in Jeju-island. The people of mythical society desire the power of snake like as rebirth and immortality -maybe, this character of snake comes from its sloughing habit- that bring about wealth and fertility, but a snake is the animal which is forbidden to enter the human's world. So, people thought out the snake 'god' who can control and enter the universe of themselves. In this case, we can say that the operation of is to explain that their desires can be satisfied without confhcts with their mythical life.
Briefly speaking, in a mythical society, myths show the principles of daily life and satisfy the desires occurring in daily life.
