Chapter Chapter 14 in Knowledge Production and Management in Africa, 2025, pp 275-290 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The primary aim of this research is to analyze and compare the portrayal of the Faustian Sequence in Sefi Atta's “Yahoo Yahoo” and Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani's I Do Not Come to You by Chance, showing how the characters embody the Faustian archetype in their motivations, actions, and the socio-economic contexts of internet fraud. For its objectives, this study examines how the Faustian Sequence is represented in the characters of Salami and Kingsley in “Yahoo Yahoo” and I Do Not Come to You by Chance, respectively. This study contributes to the broader discourse on contemporary African literature by analyzing lesser studied works and shedding light on the intricacies of characters’ motivations, and more balanced comprehension of the literary exploration of Internet fraud. It offers insights into the application of Jungian Archetypal Theory in literary analysis while expanding the theoretical framework for understanding literary narratives.
