Abstract	This critical analysis delves into Martin Owusu's 'The Legend of Aku Sika', exploring the intersections of myth, culture, and human experience through the lens of Mythopoeic Archetypal Theory. By examining the narrative's characterizations, plot dynamics, and thematic resonances, this study reveals how the legend taps into universal human experiences and emotions, evoking archetypal resonance and symbolic patterns that convey complex ideas and emotions. Situated within its cultural and historical contexts, this research uncovers how the story reflects, refracts, and reimagines the human condition, inviting readers to confront and contemplate the depths of their humanity. Through this analysis, the Mythopoeic Archetypal Theory illuminates the legend's psychological profundity, uncovering insights into identity, morality, and the human experience that transcend cultural boundaries.
