Abstract

A folklore is one type of oral tradition that has developed in many countries like Indonesia. Aside from being entertainment, folklore is also considered a cultural identity. Of a crucial thing in folklore is moral values that can be applied in daily life, as part of character education. Character education in a story is able to develop the reader’s character. This study concentrates on the character education contained in two folklores, in addition to introducing and preserving the cultures. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by using comparative literary studies. Malin Kundang folklore from Indonesia with Korean folklore entitled Shim Cheong, a Filial Child are compared. The purposes of this research are to describe the differences and similarities in character education contained in the folklore and to explore the function of character education in the folklore for daily life. It can be concluded that these two stories are interesting to compare because they have similar themes but different storylines and conflicts. Both literary works also have strong character education about respecting and loving our parents in different ways.
