Abstract

Being old brings about many consequences which are mostly negative. Viewed as physically weaker, mentally unstable, and socially dependent are driven to a hard time where they need to cope with those bad labels. Successfull geriatrics can pass through the hard time by maintaining their self esteem to meet with self concept. However, not all geriatrics can come to such situation. They are trapped with the labels addressed to them and fail in maintaining the self esteem. Sometimes, alcoholism becomes one of the outlets to lessen the burdens. The Iceman Cometh is the portrayal of how the aged characters run away from bitter reality to alcoholism which is considered the best way to lessen their psychological burden. Therefore, the mode of maladjustment in facing problems which is best viewed from psychological perspective becomes an outstanding facet of the play.

Abstract

Daisy Miller: A Study (1878), broadly, is an analysis of various tensions between Europe and America. As the title character and her family travel abroad, they are confronted with customs and traditions of old Europe. An independent and stubborn young woman, Daisy Miller is unwilling to accept these old ideas, as do many Americans living abroad. As a representative of a newer, more liberal method of social interaction, she struggles in an old, conservative society. Daisy Miller: A Study focuses on the behavior of its characters in social situations. Most of the action involves Daisy’s social missteps, followed by discussion of those missteps. Characters constantly refer to their social status and are engaged in bettering their places. Those characters that represent the Europeanized-Americans always consult the European culture and its social values as the standard for judging Daisy’s attitudes. Their judgments are based on the European moral values. This means that, there is a kind of ethnocentrism in the way they think that European culture is superior, and this point of view results in cultural incongruity.
