Abstract

This study examines the representation of self-inadequacy in Daniel Caesar’s Never Enough album, focusing on the songs “Ocho Rios,” “Toronto 2014,” and “Always.” While previous studies often apply Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics in a limited or descriptive manner, this research provides a more structured application of the hermeneutic arc as a systematic method. By focusing on textual autonomy, explanation, understanding, and the world of the text, the analysis reveals how linguistic and symbolic patterns construct feelings of inadequacy. The findings show that self-inadequacy appears in three dimensions: dependency in “Ocho Rios,” temporal stagnation in “Toronto 2014,” and emotional subordination in “Always.” Ultimately, the lyrics construct a coherent “world of the text” where the subject lacks agency and relies on external validation. This study concludes that the selected lyrics serve as a structured narrative of modern vulnerability, demonstrating the potential of song lyrics as complex interpretive texts.

Abstract

This article discusses Kenneth Branagh's film Murder on the Orient Express (2017) through John G. Cawelti's popular formula theory, particularly in the context of the mystery genre. This study aims to examine how the narrative structure typical of the detective genre—consisting of the stages of crime, investigation, and resolution—is adapted in the medium of film. By utilizing Cawelti's theory, which emphasizes the combination of convention and innovation, this analysis shows that the film retains the main elements of the mystery formula while introducing aesthetic and moral variations that reflect contemporary values. The use of cinematic techniques such as temporal manipulation, limited perspective, and mise-en-scène enhances the audience's experience in following the investigation. Additionally, the film's theme of alternative justice adds a complex ethical dimension to Agatha Christie's classic narrative. This study confirms that Murder on the Orient Express is not merely a passive adaptation but a critical and relevant reinterpretation of the genre formula within the context of modern popular culture.
