We can observe easily the comparative themes between the Korean oral poetry and East-european oral poetries because many written articles concerned with ‘the offering of the human body to sacrifice’ exist in each one of their old oral poetries.
In this work, I tried to analyze the significance and literary formation of ‘the offering of the human body to sacrifice’ by some selected texts. For the comparative objects, I chose two literary works which were transmitted from the legend ‘The Bell of Temple Bongdeok’ and one model of the various legend ‘Je Bi Won’ among the Korean Shamanic Epics and some short East-european poetries like Yugoslavian oral poetry ‘Construction of Skadar’, Romanian ballad ‘Master Manole’ and Hungarian song ‘A wife which become wall’.
For the first time, similarities and differences between the Korean oral poetry and East-european oral poetries appeared clearly from the phenomenal point of view by analyzing each literary production. Secondly, I grasped its meaning by making comparison between ‘the offering of the human body to sacrifice’ and the medieval general religions, and moreover I discussed about the literary mark for the choice of victim and the literary being of profound importance which existed between the spontaneous sacrifice and compulsory sacrifice.
Besides, I also understood a possible method which made a literary formation with ‘the offering of the human body to sacrifice’ by the examination of the laudatory mark about the victim and its meaning. Finally, I succeed in bringing up the base in which I inferred their sequence(spread and expansion) from the each selected East-european poetries.
