Abstract/Summary

This is an undergraduate thesis which aims to study four selected precolonial myths from the collection of Damiana Eugenio and four selected modern myths written by Segundo Matias Jr. This comparative study aims to identify the functions of the precolonial myth and the modern myth in relation to the norms and values during the myths' time of production to compare and contrast the functions, norms, and values to identify and explain the significance of the findings from the comparison and finally to find connections and disconnections between the precolonial myth and the modern myth in terms of functions, norms, and values. The selected precolonial and modern myths are analyzed using the theoretical framework of Czech Structuralism, specifically Jan Mukarovsky's theory on aesthetic function, norm, and value.
