The Heroine and Fulfillment in Leo Frobenius's \le Monstrueux\
2024
Overview
This paper explores the journey of the female heroine in selected Kabyle folktales collected by the German ethnographer Leo Frobenius and translated into French by Fetta Mokran. Frobenius extensively studied artifacts across the African continent, with a particular focus on Berber mythology. His research encompasses a diverse collection of volumes describing beliefs and folklore throughout North Africa, featuring a rich tapestry of oral stories passed down through generations. In doing so, Frobenius contributed significantly to the preservation of Kabyle culture, capturing its valuable insights, oral traditions, beliefs, and values. This study specifically examines the second volume of his work, \"Les Contes Kabyles: Le Monstrueux.\" The objective is to analyze how the female heroine moves beyond the social constraints imposed by matriarchy to confront and tame the beast, using it as a metaphor for achieving personal wholeness. The analysis draws on theoretical frameworks from Maureen Murdock's \"The Heroine's Journey: Women's Quest for Wholeness\" (1990) and Jordan B. Peterson's insights in \"Maps of Meaning\" (1999) and \"Beyond Order\" (2018). Both authors provide Jungian perspectives on the heroine's journey as a process of individuation. This study applies their ideas to explore resonances of the \"Beauty and the Beast\" myth within Kabyle oral heritage.
