Abstract

This article explores the theme of oppression against women in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story The Yellow Wallpaper. Through thematic analysis, this study examines how the mental breakdown of the main character reflects rigid gender roles and patriarchal norms that dominated American society in the 19th century. The story follows a woman undergoing a ‘rest cure,’ a treatment method that emphasises isolation and prohibits intellectual activity, which only exacerbates her mental condition. Gilman not only criticises medical practices but also the oppressive social structures and marriages that silence women's voices. Symbolism, particularly the yellow wallpaper, plays a crucial role in depicting the protagonist's entrapment and despair. Her mental decline is understood not merely as an illness but as a symbolic form of resistance against oppressive norms. This finding suggests that The Yellow Wallpaper functions not only as a psychological study but also as a powerful feminist statement on the importance of autonomy, self-expression, and a gender-sensitive approach to mental health.

Abstract

This study investigates multiple affixations, specifically prefix–suffix combinations, found in the Book of Jakup (Epistle of James) in Pustaka Si Badia. The research aims to identify the forms of prefix–suffix multiple affixations and to analyze their morphological structures and functions based on Francis Katamba’s (1993) theory of morphology. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected through documentation by examining lexical items containing more than one affix in Jakup. The findings show that multiple affixations in Jakup are realized through prefix–suffix combinations that primarily function as nominalizers, forming abstract nouns from verbs or adjectives. This study contributes to the morphological description of the Karo language and highlights the systematic nature of word formation in biblical texts.
