Abstract

This paper examines the interface of desire, sexual politics and death through a literary-critical study of Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. The study focuses on the characterization of Emma which allows for a more in-depth and thorough exploration of her psychology vis-à-vis the concepts of desire and death. Firstly, the study extensively explores the Girardian models responsible for Emma Bovary’s desire within the novel. It brings out to the surface the models or mediators (such as romantic fictions, or fashion magazines, or the luxurious life of the rich) responsible for Emma’s desire. These mediators create a void or vacuum in Emma, which need to be filled. This, as the study has shown however, is difficult to do because of sexual politics. Flaubert here suggests that a woman’s desire ends only with death – a patriarchal creed that preordains woman to live without desire. Here, then, lies the intersection between Emma’s desiring pleasure and the instinct of death drive. Therefore, the study examines, from Jonathan Dollimore’s paradigm, the extent to which Emma Bovary’s desire, as portrayed by Girard, creates an “ideal” in her mind and causes her death. The implication of this is that a woman only ascertains a freedom from the trauma of unfulfilled desire in death, a tragic irony that surrounds Emma’s moment of departure from the world as a conscious being.

Abstract

Numerous studies have been undertaken on metacognitive awareness and reading comprehension at the secondary school level. Consequently, this study focuses on these characteristics within the higher education level. This study aims to reveal students' metacognitive awareness in reading strategies, the levels of their reading comprehension, and how these two variables are correlated in higher education. To achieve the mentioned objectives, quantitative method, particularly descriptive and correlational approaches were employed. This study's sample consisted of the fifth-semester English Education students at IAIN Bone throughout the 2020/2021 academic year. Cluster random sampling is the sampling method utilized in this study. In order to collect the necessary data, two instruments were used, which were questionnaire to reveal students’ metacognitive reading strategy, and reading test to find out students’ reading comprehension. The result showed that most students routinely employed reading strategies while reading English material, and among the three metacognitive reading strategies, Problem-solving Reading Strategies was the most popular option. Besides, the result indicates that students' reading comprehension is characterized as weak. Furthermore, students’ metacognitive reading strategy has an effect on reading comprehension since they involve the use of self-awareness and intentional motivation to employ one or more techniques for keeping tabs on how well one is grasping what they're reading. It can be concluded that students who employ metacognitive reading strategy have a greater chance of understanding a text, when compared to students with poor metacognitive reading strategy.
