This paper explores the feasibility of applying the theory of＂Ethical Literary Criticism＂ to the reading of the Korean myth of Dangun as a literary text.Guided by this theory, this paper offers a critical analysis of this myth in view of exploring the ethical values of the early Korean people. This paper concludes that this myth,by representing taboos and ethical choices of the early Korean people,carries a lofty ideal of ＂Benefit All Mankind,＂ an attitude of ＂harmony＂ and ＂standard of human ethics＂ towards the human relationship and the relationship between human and nature.
