Abstract

Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes produce different shows within the same genre. This research aims to discover the differences in case-solving techniques between Enola and Sherlock Holmes. The appropriate method for this research is qualitative using literary criticism. The researcher only focused on the films and reference sources to find out the case-solving patterns and the influence of color in Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes. The findings are that Enola uses more case-solving techniques, such as wordplay and intuition, and prioritizes feelings. The colors displayed also look more cheerful with a combination of bright colors. Whereas, Sherlock uses more deductive abilities with a focus on goals without involving his feelings by using dark colors that make him look serious and dark. In his every action, there is no hesitation at all. This research proves the difference between Sherlock and Enola in solving cases and the fact that colors are not just aesthetics but can also support the narrative, which then creates a deeper message and atmosphere.

Abstract

This study examines the use of figurative language—specifically metaphor, symbol, and personification—in five songs from The Stone Roses’ self-titled album (1989): “Bye Bye Badman,” “Waterfall,” “Made of Stone,” “This Is the One,” and “I Am the Resurrection.” Employing literary criticism as its methodological approach, the study classifies each figurative expression using Perrine’s (1992) framework and interprets its meaning within the lyrical context. To extend the analysis beyond textual description, the study also applies Bourdieu’s (1990) concept of habitus, which explains how repeated social experiences shape enduring ways of perceiving, thinking, and acting. This sociological perspective is relevant because figurative language not only conveys aesthetic meaning but also reflects socially embedded dispositions and collective experiences encoded in the lyrics. The findings reveal that metaphor is the dominant device, transforming emotional states such as resilience, confinement, and dominance into concrete imagery, while symbols broaden these meanings into representations of instability and authority, and personification portrays the surrounding environment as an active participant in emotional experience. Through the lens of habitus, these recurring figurative patterns represent textual expressions of resistance, social constraint, and aspirations for transformation, demonstrating how literary and sociological perspectives together provide a richer understanding of song lyrics.
