Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of emotional bond in Baby Reindeer movie, focusing on Donny’s emotional attachment to his abuser. Emotional bond refers to a strong psychological connection that develops between individuals through repeated emotional interaction, vulnerability, and dependency. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research examines selected dialogues and scenes to identify patterns of emotional dependency, empathy toward the abuser, cognitive conflict, and self-blame. The findings show that Donny’s attachment is not rooted in genuine affection, but in fear, vulnerability, and the need for validation. The series portrays emotional bonding as a complex psychological condition that keeps individuals connected to harmful relationships even without physical captivity. This study highlights how contemporary media represents emotional entanglement and the psychological impact of abusive dynamics.

Abstract

This study examines the failure of integration between persona and shadow as reflected in the characters of Elisabeth Sparkle and Sue in Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance. The research applies Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of persona, shadow, and the process of individuation to analyze how psychological imbalance can lead to identity fragmentation, moral collapse, and loss of agency. The data are drawn from selected dialogues and scenes in the film script. The findings indicate that Elisabeth’s refusal to recognize Sue as a part of herself, along with Sue’s position as a shadow that refuses to respect the required balance and continually seeks dominance without restraint, results in psychological division rather than wholeness. Instead of achieving integration, the repression of the shadow leads to destruction. Ultimately, the film presents a tragic portrayal of what happens when a person clings too tightly to a social mask and refuses to confront the hidden aspects of the self.
