This thesis is to understand the relation between literature and ethics in Kim Hyun’s criticism. Literature and ethics are considered separate area, but ethics is an important part in Kim Hyun’s criticism. If we regard ethics as a principle which should be excluded for aesthetic experience, we might ignore the effect of ethics on Kim Hyun’s criticism. Ethics, which is said to be located in opposite part of literature, has a enormous effects on Kim Hyun’s criticism. Ethtics is defined as customs, which means taboo system. If ethtics is a taboo system, there is harmonious relation between literature and ethics. But we can see different face of ethics in Kim Hyun’s essays. Reading literature is considered as coexistence of pleasure and reflection in Kim Hyun’s criticism. Reader come to listen to ethical order of repressing pleasure when pleasure turns into reflection. He or She can go into aesthetic state only when He or She follow the ethical order and deny the pleasure. The aesthetic state, which means an undefinable state, could be reached through keeping away from the pressure of pleasure. The important thing is that reflection can going on only through the existence of the fantasy that I am toutured. In short, we can say reading subject has a ethical attitude inside him.
