Abstract

Egri's three-dimensional theory (1923) was employed to examine the multifaceted aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark, the main character in Delia Owens' novel "Where the Crawdads Sing." This qualitative study utilized a narrative approach to gather and analyze data through inductive and deductive techniques. The findings revealed several three-dimensional aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark. Physically, she possessed beauty, long black hair, and a well-proportioned body with a deep-tanned complexion, which improved as she matured. Socially, she hailed from a lower-class American family, held various jobs as a seafood seller, book writer, and poet, and experienced discrimination and singledom. Her hobbies included reading books and collecting organisms from the marsh. Psychologically, she exhibited introversion, insecurity, sensitivity, irritability, selfishness, anxiety, and a reluctance to forgive. However, she also displayed independence, optimism, and a determined fighting spirit for survival, showcasing remarkable talent in painting and writing. Overall, the study found that the psychological dimension was more pronounced than the physiological and social dimensions. Keywords: main character, physiological dimension, psychological dimension, sociological dimension, three-dimensional aspects

Abstract

This study examines social class inequality in 1912 English society as reflected in J.B. Priestley’s play An Inspector Calls. The play highlights the structure of society based on powerful class differences, where the upper class represented by the Birling family and Gerald Croft have privileges that the working class represented by Eva Smith does not have. The study uses a mimetic approach that views literature as a reflection of human life. To explore how inequality is portrayed through interactions between characters, this study uses a qualitative descriptive method. In addition, it uses the concept of base and superstructure in Marxism to examine how the economic structure (base) shapes and maintains social norms, ideologies, and institutions (superstructure) to perpetuate the dominance of the bourgeoisie over the working class. The results of this study reveal three main aspects: labor exploitation, class domination and social control, and gender inequality in capitalism. The results show that An Inspector Calls not only serves as a play, but also as a critique of capitalist society, by exposing how the economic structure maintains class-based oppression.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of lexical cohesion in spoken discourse, particularly within the digital sports media context of CBS Sports Golazo’s UCL Today Moments playlist. Lexical cohesion, as defined by Cutting (2005), encompasses devices such as repetition, synonymy, superordinate terms, and general words, which contribute to the coherence and clarity of spoken interaction. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, this research analyzed five episodes from the playlist, totaling approximately 45 minutes of conversational data. The findings reveal that repetition is the most frequently used cohesion device (37%), followed by general words (25.9%), synonyms (24.1%), and superordinate terms (13%). These patterns highlight how speakers naturally employ lexical cohesion to emphasize meaning, avoid redundancy, and maintain discourse continuity in informal, spontaneous settings. The study also underscores the functional significance of lexical cohesion in managing the flow and coherence of talk show interactions. By focusing on two-way digital conversations, this research fills a gap in previous studies that primarily addressed one-directional or written discourse, offering new insights into how lexical cohesion operates in real-time, dialogic communication.

Abstract

Comparative literature involves comparing, analysing and understanding literary works to explore similarities, differences and influences in literature. Comparative literature can be found in song lyrics as a way to create a better understanding and convey the songwriter's feelings or thoughts to the listener. This research explores the similarities and differences in the use of hyperbole and metaphor in the top five songs from Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay. By conducting a comparative analysis of the lyrical content, this research aims to reveal how these two well-known bands use these literary devices to convey emotions and themes in their music. By using Reaske's figurative language theory and objective criticism approach. This research found that Arctic Monkeys songs often explore themes of romance, emotion, and burning desire, using hyperbole to dramatically amplify feelings, making their expressions more intense and vivid, for Coldplay lyrics often raise themes of longing, regret, and admiration. As for metaphors, both bands use metaphors extensively to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how literary techniques are used in songwriting across different genres and styles of music.Keywords: Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Comparative Literature, Figurative Language

Abstract

This study examines Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See through the lens of feminist disability theory, particularly the works of Rosemarie Garland- Thomson. It aims to explore how blindness and femininity are portrayed not as deficits, but as alternative forms of knowledge, agency, and resistance. The analysis centers on the character of Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind young girl whose heightened sensory perception, emotional strength, and quiet resilience defy traditional stereotypes of disability and female passivity. Employing a qualitative research method based on library research and textual analysis, the study investigates how Doerr’s narrative construction of Marie-Laure challenges dominant visual norms, narrative, and patriarchal representations. Key findings highlight blindness as a valid and complex way of knowing, the politics of visibility and invisibility, and the role of social context and support systems in shaping disabled subjectivity. The study concludes that All the Light We Cannot See contributes to a broader literary and cultural recognition of disability and femininity as meaningful, dignified, and agentive states of being.
