Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Literature - Africa, grade: 45.00, University of Nigeria (Institute of African studies, UNN), course: Comparative literature, language: English, abstract: This study painstakingly pierces through the encrustations of archetypal patterns vis-a-vis events and character manifestations particularly the pharmakos figure in Orabueze's Men behind the Masks. The study examines the interplay of archetypal patterns as the vanguard of most tragic sequence. The researcher deployed the archetypal literary theory in the analysis of the work. The study concludes on the note that Orabueze's Men behind the Masks carries the characteristic trappings of the Azazel figure and it is this very model that influences the structuration of the work.
Akwanya asserts that "Art (literature) is sustained by its depositum, where all the existents are symbolic forms, its characters...can appear in different versions and semblances and animate new stories in as much as they form the substratum upon which the new stories and personages are grounded...." As a pure perception, language engraves these experiences and it is against this motivation that this research paper was informed. Many a critics have engaged the reading of Florence Orabueze's Men behind the Masks in different literary lens but adequate attention has not been paid to a reading of the work in the light of the archetypal patterns that moulds the structuration of the work. Thus, this is the lacuna that this research paper is set to bridge.
KEYWORDS: Archetypes, Azazel, suffering, tragedy, motif, pharmakos, Florence Orabueze.
