Abstract

This article aims to discuss the issue of anxiety in Akemi Dawn Bowman's Starfish. The objectives of this study are to find the causes, effects, and types of anxiety experienced by the main character in the story. This study uses the psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud to analyze Kiko's anxiety. The research method applied in this study is qualitative, with a psychology of literature approach. From the results of the analysis, there are four causes of the anxiety experienced by Kiko. The first is an experience that happens to Kiko in the past, caused by her uncle. The second is the conflict between Kiko and her mother. The third is Kiko’s environment, and the last is frustration. The effects of Kiko's anxiety are emotional effect and social anxiety. This can be seen from her feelings of anger because of the dispute that occurs between Kiko and her mother. Therefore, it can be concluded that Kiko's anxiety is categorized as neurotic and realistic anxiety. Neurotic anxiety comes from the id, which is an unconscious feeling so that it often loses its emotions such as sadness, anger, panic, and so on. Realistic anxiety occurs when there is a sense of fear of approaching danger.

Abstract

Death has meaning for each individual, which sometimes holds meaning about the psychological soul in literature. Anxiety, fear of abandonment, and betrayal become unconscious individual factors. These factors are not only conveyed in physical and emotional form but also in the written form of literary works such as contemporary drama. This study discusses how the meaning of death is tied to anxiety, fear of abandonment, and betrayal in a play entitled Salt Root and Roe by Tim Price. This literary work shows how the deaths of the main characters, namely Iola and Anest, twin sisters, are linked to incidents of anxiety and fear originating from childhood trauma, so this influences their subconscious decisions. To analyze and answer the study objectives, the author used qualitative research methods with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory approach. This study analyzes from the perspective of Freud's psychoanalysis using the tripartite theory of id, ego, and superego of the characters Iola and Anest to discover the character's desires and decisions influenced by their environment. In the process of this analysis, it was discovered that the twin characters, Iola and Anest, had trauma in their childhood, which resulted in anxiety, betrayal, and fear of being abandoned by each other or being abandoned by their loved ones due to the influence of an environment and family that was less than supportive during their childhood. In addition, this study found that Iola and Anest's meaning of death tied each other to each other, indicating that their relationship did not want to be abandoned again and experienced the trauma and disappointment of being abandoned in the past. Tragic death in this literary work means a togetherness created by the characters' deep-seated fears, traumas, and betrayals.

Abstract

This research analyzes the fighting values of the main character of the novel Mimpi Anak Pulau through a literary psychology approach. The focus of the research is mainly on the main character's inner resilience, exploring how the character adapts and develops in facing various life challenges. The analysis also includes the diversity of internal human resources, especially through the inner eye and mind's eye, as an important element in forming character. Carefully selected dialogue creates dimensions of internal conflict, reveals the characters' complex feelings, and touches on the paradox between fear and courage. Poetry that compares life to a flowing stream creates a picture of life's journey that inspires thought and emotion. The research conclusion shows that the fighting value in the main character of this novel is realized through a complex psychological journey, contributing to a deeper understanding of inner resilience, diversity of internal resources, and psychological dynamics in a literary work. This analysis not only highlights the complex psychological processes underlying the main character's resilience in Mimpi Anak Pulau, but also offers valuable insights for understanding how children develop inner strength in the face of adversity. By examining the character's internal resources and the role of literary devices in portraying inner conflict, this study provides educators and psychologists with tools to support children's emotional well-being and foster resilience.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the representation of patriarchal culture in the Barbie film through a semiotic study that uses Roland Barthes’ theory. Roland Barthes developed semiotic theory into three parts, namely denotation, connotation, and myth, but in this study, the researchers only utilized connotation and denotation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data was taken from the scenes and script of the Barbie 2023 film. The researchers collected data by watching the film, observing the characters in every scene and the script, then taking some notes to categorize the semiotic symbols based on Roland Barthes' theory and analyzing the research data. The results of this research show that despite the movie "Barbie," association with feminism, it does not change the fact that the movie still embodies a patriarchal culture that harms women. This cultural framework perpetuates traditional gender roles, positioning men as leaders, decision-makers, and primary providers while assigning women subordinate roles. In patriarchal cultures, male privilege is ingrained, leading to the marginalization and subjugation of women. This entrenched culture of male privilege influences deep-rooted misogyny, sexism, and societal expectations.

This research discusses how style has a role in enlivening each word and sentence in the slogan of a brand product in the sphere of advertising from time to time. Through the qualitative descriptive analysis, this research analyses ten slogans from several brand classes, especially on products that have class categorization with stylistic devices to find out the identity function embedded in each word or sentence.
