Abstract

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (1868) remains a cornerstone of American literature, depicting the challenges and growth of four March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—during the American Civil War. This paper explores central themes in the novel, focusing on the tension between individual desires and societal expectations, particularly regarding women’s roles in the 19th century. Alcott addresses how each sister grapples with personal and societal pressures: Jo rejects traditional gender roles in favor of independence and writing, while Meg embraces femininity and marriage. The paper also examines the moral and emotional conflicts faced by the characters as they balance personal ambitions with family obligations. By analyzing character development, symbolism, and narrative structure, the study demonstrates how Little Women is not only a reflection of its time but also a timeless exploration of family, identity, and the pursuit of happiness. The novel's examination of feminine duty and domesticity continues to resonate with contemporary debates on gender and societal roles.

Abstract

This study aims to interpret racial discrimination in Langston Hughes' poems i.e., I Too Sing America, Negro, and Let America Be America Again. Langston Hughes, as a writer, has faced direct discrimination from white people in his literary work. Many of Langston Hughes's works of poetry tell the story of African Americans who lived as black people and faced discrimination throughout history. Some of his poetry depicts the racial, cultural, and educational discrimination that black people face. The data taken from the poem comes from Langston Hughes' poems including I Too Sing America, Negro, and Let America Be America Again. This study applies the descriptive qualitative method as well as the extrinsic approach. Extrinsic approach, aligned with mimetic and pragmatic approaches. I Too Sing America depicts the oppression of black people through slavery, denial of rights, and inequality. Let America Be America Again depicts a focus on the idea of the American dream and how, for many people, achieving freedom, equality, and happiness, which the dream embodies, is nearly impossible. Negro depicts people of African American descent have the status of slaves. The conclusion is that the author accepts a great deal of discrimination as an African American and rejects differences in skin color status.

Abstract

Poetry (Gedich) is a literary work that belongs to the category of lyrics. Compared to other types of literary works such as epics and dramas, poetry has a more dense and beautiful language and the meaning in poetry is multi-interpreted. Each individual can have their own interpretation. The language used in poetry is also not everyday language. Tells about the struggle of the German people during the Nazi occupation, and the sadness of the German people who live with great difficulties. So this poem explains the condition of Hitler’s leadership which did not put humanity first, so that many died in the end and it was the nation’s best sons who were sacrificed for war with the condition that all access was limited. The creation of meaning in Deutschland poetry is caused by rhyme and enjambement. The rhyme in the poem is irregular, this illustrates that what is characteristic of beauty is not prioritized, but emphasizes the integrity of meaning. Apart from rhyme, Enjambement is also found in poetry.Germany is also hated by other countries due to Hitler’s actions. Initially Hitler’s decision to annex Austria (15 March 1938) and Czechoslovakia was still tolerated by other nations, but then the dispossession of Poland had precipitated the outbreak of World War II.

Abstract

This study analyses the non-normative feminism performed by the characters in a play entitled No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre. The concept of feminism is linked to the liberation of women from the control and dominance of men. On the other hand, non-stereotypical principles are the development of individuals. In this non-normative discussion, the author relates it to the realm of feminism and lesbianism which is part of radical feminist theory. The objective of the study is to identify the tendency of non-normative of the characters named Inès, and Estelle in the play. This study is a literary criticism using qualitative descriptive method. The results of the study showed that the two main female characters show non-normative feminism attitudes, including having a sexual orientation that slightly deviate from French society at that time, not wanting to be in a relationship with men, and also not wanting to give birth and become a mother. As the title No Exit reminds us, Inès and Estelle exhibit their true identities only in a world closed to the rest of society; even in this space they are always reprimanded. Thus, Sartre criticizes the lack of options for non-stereotypical women in French society, as well as the tendency to view these women as inherently ‘immoral’.

Abstract

This paper describes and analyzes the ontological metaphor language in a traditional Batak Simalungunese tribe, Mambere Tungkot, Duda-Duda, and Sulang-Sulang Pahompu in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study aims to present an analytical view of the customary tradition of thanking parents for their contribution to one’s life. This is carried out in regular conversation through the language of metaphors, in particular, ontology metaphors. Ontological metaphors describe human qualities that are given to nonhuman entities (Kovesces, 2010: 33-38).  This study applies the descriptive qualitative method to discuss the ontological metaphor depicted in the traditional ceremony. The data of the research were taken from the utterances of the speakers, namely: master of the ceremony, parents, and children involved in the ceremony. The concept of this study is the communication theory in the context of the ontological metaphor to analyze the data. The result of the study shows that most of the utterances in the traditional ceremony use ontological metaphors.

Abstract

Literature is very important for our life. Literature can be enjoyed by all people, including children. There are many kinds of literature for children, namely fairy tales, folklore, children's songs, folklore, legends, and others. Literature for children is made like children's views. Imagination that emerges from children is summarized and researched into children's literature. Children's literature is made for education and as a means for children to grow to know literature. However, children need to get guidance from parents or adults in side by side with children's literature. Not all children's literature can be accepted by children. In some examples of children's literature there are things that are inappropriate for children to accept, such as fairy tales with a romantic genre. Therefore, the role of parents is important to help children get to know children's literature. Children cannot but coexist with literature. Literature for children helps children in their development. Literature for children exists so that children can express themselves as freely and as broadly as possible. Children must also accept literature and pass it on to the next generation. Without realizing it, humans live side by side with literature. Therefore, the role of parents and adults is very important in introducing literature to children.

Abstract

Literary works can certainly be enjoyed through anything, be it through books, poetry, drama, music and films. Literature children can also be enjoyed through films that are currently booming. Nowadays, you can enjoy it with your family in the cinema. Talking about children's literature, it has a big impact on both adults and children, because there are no limits to enjoying children's literature. What needs to be found is the meaning or purpose of a work that was created. Can it have a good impact on the recipient of the work or even become a bad impact. Many think that literature can only be enjoyed by children, even though children's literature does not have a minimum age or regardless of age, from children to parents can certainly enjoy it. There are many morals that can be drawn from children's literature, the more we know the meaning of a literary work, the more we can apply it in our lives.
