Abstract

Poetry, as a form of literary expression, plays a significant role in conveying complex emotions and abstract ideas through imaginative language. This study aims to analyze the use of figurative speech in Helena Natasha’s poetry collection Dreams Spelled in Poetry, which explores themes of dreams, identity, and personal aspirations. The research is significant in providing a deeper understanding of how figurative language contributes to meaning-making and emotional expression in contemporary poetry. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach as proposed. The data were collected through documentation techniques focusing on poetic lines containing figurative expressions. The analysis is based on theory of figurative speech, which classifies twelve types of figurative language. The data were analyzed using the interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that 402 instances of figurative language were identified, with metaphor (68%) and personification (14%) as the most dominant types. These results indicate that Helena Natasha predominantly employs metaphorical and humanizing expressions to convey emotional depth and abstract meaning. The study concludes that figurative language plays a central role in enhancing the aesthetic and interpretative value of poetry.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of ideological motherhood and waiting in Lyora by Fenty Effendy. Its significance lies in revealing how maternal trauma is constructed and normalised through literary language within ideological expectations of motherhood. The object of the study is the novel’s representation of motherhood, analysed through a literary stylistics framework informed by trauma theory (Vickroy), feminist motherhood (O’Reilly), and Baraitser’s concept of waiting. This qualitative study employs close reading as the method of data collection, focusing on narrative passages that depict waiting, silence, and emotional restraint. Data are analysed stylistically through lexical choice, narrative tone, and patterns of emotional expression, and reported descriptively to demonstrate how meaning is constructed. The analysis shows that maternal experience is shaped through waiting, silence, restraint, and endurance rather than open emotional expression. Motherhood is framed as a moral responsibility rather than personal choice. Loss and disappointment are conveyed in controlled language, while anger and frustration are softened or omitted. Waiting functions as a narrative strategy regulating time, emotion, and the female body. These findings indicate that maternal trauma is normalised through patience and acceptance, while silence is reinforced as a socially acceptable response to suffering.
