Abstract

There are numerous fairy tales in the European tradition, and especially in the Grimms’ collection, that employ numerous archetypal themes, characters and motifs. This is true of the popular story, Hansel and Gretel. The examination of archetypes can be a laborious task given their rich psychological and cultural significance and their widespread use among seemingly distinct civilizations and genres. Accordingly, this study analyses the use of archetypes in the Grimms’ collection - through the example of Hansel and Gretel - to explore their full significance as these archetypes could potentially be a reason behind the enduring popularity of this story and the collection in general. The methodology of this study is based on the archetypal stages of the hero’s journey or quest as elaborated by Joseph Campbell in his seminal work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. This study has concluded that Hansel and Gretel skilfully employ numerous archetypal elements such as the evil women, order versus chaos, thresholds and helpers, and the trickster and the witch within the archetypal framework of a hero's journey to allow its protagonists to achieve psychological and moral maturity and material rewards. Through its few pages, Hansel and Gretel offers readers rich moral lessons about courage, regression, shrewdness, loyalty, evil, compassion and destiny through the use of the archetypal journey and its various elements. Keywords: Archetypes, fairytales, Hansel and Gretel, hero’s journey

Abstract

One of the key characteristics of academic writing is its precision in expressing facts and ideas and its avoidance of subjective impressions, rhetorical styles, and ambiguous formulations. When students write their theses in foreign languages, proficiency in a foreign language is essential for high-quality academic writing. Numerous errors may be found in the theses without such proficiency, undermining the students’ efforts. This study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse the writing errors found in six master's theses completed by International Islamic University Malaysia students. Among the study’s key findings is that language is the most suitable domain for applying the criterion of right and wrong. Writing errors stem from two primary sources: internal within the language and external from other languages. Moreover, these errors may intersect or overlap.

Abstract

Émigré writers such as Kahlil Gibran and Mikhail Naimy proved that it is possible to transcend their historical limitations to become leading literary figures. An examination of the historical context of these writers is important for a rich understanding of their works. The themes addressed in such literary works are better appreciated within their cultural environment, and not as objects detached from their times, author and readers[1]. It can be rightfully argued that such works cannot be fully appreciated without delving into the intricacies of the political ideologies and economic crises of previous centuries. This article does not aim to perform such an undertaking, regardless of its literary merit; however, it presents an overview of the historical context surrounding the Émigré literary movement as a product of two cultures bridged by immigration at the turn of the 20th century. This is based on the belief that a profound critical engagement with Émigré works is better achieved with an examination of their historical and literary background. Thus, this article serves as a foundation for profound literary analyses of Émigré works. [1] Payne, 2005 : 3-4, on the importance of a historical context.
