다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

??Animations are easy to visualize fantasies through free modeling of image. This feature of animations makes accommodation of Metamorphosis Motif inherent mythical imagination easily. As Metamorphosis Motif also performs important function in Yobi, The Five Tailed Fox and Ponyo On The Cliff, it is interpreted revealing ethical implication related with main concept. More concretely, Metamorphosis Motif inserted in these two works seems to emphasizing main concept with demanding particular ethical stance, after magnifying the meaning of symbolic narrative space. Thus this study takes notice at the relation formed between Metamorphosis Motif and symbolic narrative space in two animations, detecting its ethical message.<br/>
??A a result, the metamorphosis of Yobi and Shadow Detective reveals those kind of function discriminatively in Yobi, The Five Tailed Fox. First, despite facing human's prejudice and discrimination, Yobi shows her will of saving mankind by sacrificing herself. As Yobi's metamorphosis visualizes the will distinctly, it is to be called as the event of extending the ethic of 'Canava', the order of harmony and balance operating within. Whereas Shadow Detective's metamorphosis magnifies human world's self-protecting logic, imprinting that it results from unethical values to be denied. In Ponyo On The Cliff, we face the destructibility of human civilization through Ponyo transforming from fish into human. Especially Ponyo's last metamorphosis('being human' completely) is able to be the event about ocean living things damaged by human civilization demanding the restoration of ecological consciousness to mankind. In short, the Metamorphosis Motif inserted in Yobi, The Five Tailed Fox and Ponyo On The Cliff is to be accusing the space of oppression and alienation or discrimination and destruction, on the other hand, it effectively delivers necessitable truth which is ought to aim the space of harmony.<br/>
??Relation examination between Metamorphosis Motif and symbolic narrative space guarantees concreteness of result, limited to the works treated in this study. However, in the way that this is merely one of the methodologies, operations of defining aesthetic, semantic values of individual animations needs to be diversified.
