This dissertation contributes to understanding how myth, folk tales, and contemporary fantasy narratives intersect, providing insights into the enduring power of storytelling across cultures and times. It examines myth in a cross-cultural context through Leo Frobenius's collection of the Kabyle folk talesand the English fantasy novel authors, namely John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Joanne Kathleen Rowling, by exploring their narrative structure, thematic and cultural significances.The comparison revolves around Frobenius's collection, titled Les contesKabyles,in four volumes (1921), translated by MokranFetta (1997), Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (1954-1955), The Hobbit(1966) and The Unfinished Tales of Middle Earth (1980), alongside the Harry Potter series (1997-2007). Thesetexts are the product of different cultural backgrounds and are issued from distinct literary traditions. By juxtaposing these works, the main task is to study the universal myth of the journey, and the quest, while also acknowledging the distinct cultural narratives that shape their storytelling. To do so, the universal featuresare stressed todemonstrate the universality of the Myth of the Journey and the notion of the Archetype. This comparative studydraws its theoretical tools from comparative literary critic framework,theories of Myth, Analytical Psychology and Archetypical Criticism. More precisely, Joseph Campbell's concept of the "Monomyth" and Carl Gustav Jung's "Individuation Process" the "Collective Unconscious" and the "Archetype" are applied. The comparative analysis reveals that the Kabyle folk tales, Tolkien and Rowling's works are built upon the Myth of the Male Hero's and the Female Heroine's journey. The male hero in the Kabyle folktales,Thorin and Aragorn in Tolkien and Harry in Rowling represent the warrior archetype. Their journey is not only a path to power, celebrated with the myth of the Return of the King, but it is also a Process of Individuation. A similar path is taken by Nuja, ?uva, and other unmanned female heroines,in the Kabyle folktales, Eowyn and Arwen in Tolkien, and Hermione in Rowling. These heroinesillustrate the complexity of the Female Heroine's Journey. Their quest stands as a path of recognition, empowerment, and most importantly reconciliation with the feminine self. This study also unfolds a complex relationship between the hero/ heroine and the primordial archetypes, the father and the mother. The journey ends with the mythic marriage celebrating the "Sacred Union," a connotation of the healing power of the journey and myth in a broader sense that the Postmodern Man needs to recover. The selected texts also encapsulate interweaving themes of friendship, identity, and the moral complexities of good versus evil. These common issues certify the universality of the human experience and "Man's quest for meaning."
