Oral literature is a cultural expression that verbally transmits values from one generation to the next among the community supporters. This oral literature research aims at (1) presenting the stories' plots through the research's primary goal, 2) introducing the characters that appear in the story, (3) outlining the characters in the stories, (4) recognizing and explaining the settings of the stories, and 5) recognizing and defining symbols in the stories based on Yektingtyas's points of view (2016). The approach in this research incorporates literary criticism into secondary and primary qualitative data combined throughout the data collection process. The primary data were analyzed thoroughly, while the secondary data were utilized as references to analyze the primary data. The results show that Ilik was born to a mother under the shade without a father. Initially, the narrative focused solely on the character's day-to-day activities. The folks washing the pig gut rope cast away and flung the dog with the stone when he tried to devour the remaining portion. The pregnant woman and her children arrived in the village the following day to cook the raw pork they had managed to rescue. The portrait of this literary work depicts the characters’ lives and social harmony, allowing them to nurture indigenous values while learning to explore more life lessons from society.

“…It would be amazing, says the singer, if the star could ascend to reign. In the Biak oral tradition of the Manarmakeri tale, the phrase 'Sampari Mak iwa,' or 'Morning Star' (Venus), refers to the Makmeser, or Morning Star (Fatubun, 2017;Fatubun, 2021a;Hanita, 2017;Kamma, 1972). In Halley's classifications, the star 'Mak Sampari' is classified as a Cosmos metaphor.…”

Biak is a Papuan tribe inhabiting the Biak Island, to the north of mainland Papua. This tribe has a type of folksongs called wor. Using Nöth’s theory of metaphor and Haley’s 9 categories of the hierarchy of human perceptions, this study aimed to explore the metaphorical expressions (metaphiers) found in 17 wor lyrics through metapherein process to find their metaphands, and to identify the human perceptions in the metaphiers seen through the 9 categories. The study found that the Biak tribe expresses their concerns about life and its complexity as discovered in the metaphors found in the metaphands: happiness, deliverance, caring, preservation of culture, respect, longing for homeland, perseverance, youth reminder, evil spirit, inhumane treatment to others, fighting spirit, dexterity, vigilance, strong family support, ‘heaven’, the ritual for luck, and creator of the universe. Most languages in the world must have similar universal metaphors, but their meanings may be universal or local as is true with wor lyrics. Haley’s 9 categories were found. The categories observed are: Being was found 4 times in 4 lyrics; Cosmos was observed 2 times in 2 lyrics; Energy was found 2 times in 2 lyrics; Terrestrial was discovered 2 times in 2 lyrics; Object was found 2 times in 2 lyrics; Living was not found in these present data; Animate was not observed in these current data either; and Human was observed the most, 5 times in 5 lyrics.

This study explores Panglima Sayyadi, the Tau Sug hero of Tapul Island, Sulu, Philippines, whose account was obtained from a kissa, an oral narrative passed down through generations in an unstructured form. It analyzesthe character archetypes of the Tau Sug Hero to investigate his disposition as the commanding leader of the Sulu Forces against the colonizers’ imposition, as depicted by the old Tau Sug folks who recall his history. To reveal his characteristics, an archetypal literary criticism is employed in this study, which examines three classified character archetypes: The Ego Types, The Self Types, and The Soul Types. The results indicate that Panglima Sayyadi’s character was an amalgamation of the three motifs, being the Warrior and the Traditionalist of the Ego Type, the Leader and the Thinker of the Self Type, and the Revolutionary and the Visionary of the Soul Type, which implies his courage to defend and loyalty to his belief system. It can also be concluded that these archetypes are innate to his individuality as a Tau Sug.
