Abstract

Abstract In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, the animals are used as symbols of historical figures to illustrate the dynamics of power and the transformation of idealism into tyranny. Orwell explores themes of rebellion against tyranny, betrayal of the principles of equality, and the manipulation of power through characters such as Napoleon and Snowball. The novel portrays events that reflect the Russian Revolution, with symbols such as the farm representing society. Orwell demonstrates how decision-making, manipulation, and changes in roles influence the transition from hopes for equality to oppressive power. Animal Farm not only critiques the mechanisms of power in politics but also offers insights into the inherent risks of corruption in governance systems. With its strong allegorical elements, the novel provides a universal lesson on the dynamics of power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals Keywords: Political Allegory, Character Visualization, Main Themes, Symbols Abstrak Dalam novel Animal Farm karya George Orwell, hewan-hewan dijadikan simbol tokoh-tokoh sejarah untuk mengilustrasikan dinamika kekuasaan dan transformasi idealisme menjadi tirani.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the lack of morality in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby as seen from the social and economic context, the morals of the main characters, the theme of betrayal and disappointment, moral symbolism, and modern relevance. The social and economic context highlights the background of the Jazz Age and the American Dream and the impact of materialism on the behavior and values of society at that time. The morals of the main characters: Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and Tom Buchanan are described in detail about their lack of morality. The theme of betrayal and disillusionment which is a common topic in the novel exposes the relationships between characters and moral betrayal, Gatsby's disillusionment with the idealism of love, and society's reaction to moral offences. Moral symbolism examines the symbol of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes as a representation of moral surveillance and the colors and visual elements depicting moral helplessness. Finally, modern relevance provides an overview of how the themes of morality in the novel are still relevant to modern society. The results of this analysis are presented to provide new insights into how the Jazz Age and the idea of the American Dream affect aspects of morality.

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of local color and American slavery in Mark Twin's ‘The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn’. The novel uses local color to create a real picture of life in the American South in the 19th century, through the use of local dialects, descriptions of scenery and environments, and local community habits. Huck Finn, as the main character in the novel, is young and innocent, and he does not enslave black people, which in 19th century South America still existed. His friendship with Jim, a slave trying to escape from being caught by slave hunters, is central to the story and social issues. Jim is not only Huck's friend and protector, but also a character who represents the injustice experienced by slaves. By combining the discussion of local color and American slavery, we as readers discover and reflect on the social and moral values of the time.

Abstract

This study discusses the use of irony in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, illustrating how Orwell engages various forms of irony to critique politics and human nature. Through three types of irony, specifically verbal, dramatic, and situational irony. The novel exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the pigs, particularly in their manipulation of language and principles. Verbal irony that shows the exaggerated praises that showered the pigs. Also, the transformation of the pigs into a tyrant is shown as a powerful example of situational irony, while the animal’s blind acceptance of the pigs leadership deepens the dramatic irony, as the reader understands the truth behind the facade. This study also explores how the novel uses irony to critique the cynical nature of power and oppression. The research method of this study is a descriptive qualitative method. This data was obtained from the novel as the main source and research journals as supporting theories for this research.

Abstract

This comparative study analyzes the narrative and spiritual themes in two foundational works of Islamic literary tradition: A Pilgrimage to Mecca (a rihla or travelogue) by the 12th-century Andalusian scholar Ibn Jubayr, and Star-Crossed Lovers or Layla and Majnun (a masnavi or epic poem) by the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. Despite originating from different genres, languages, and purposes, one being a factual travel account and the other being an allegorical romance. Both masterpieces convergently explore the transformative journey of the human soul. Ibn Jubayr's work presents the physical Hajj as a profound spiritual pilgrimage. Through meticulous empirical observation of sacred sites and Muslim communities, his narrative transcends mere reportage to become a reflection on divine order, personal piety, and the unity of the Ummah. Conversely, Nizami's tragic tale of the "Star-Crossed Lovers" uses the framework of unrequited worldly love as a powerful Sufi metaphor. Majnun's madness and his longing for Layla symbolize the soul's total and self-annihilating (fana) quest for union with the Divine. By analyzing the narrative structures, thematic parallels, stylistic devices, and socio-historical contexts of both texts drawing upon analyses by Netton (1996) and Chelkowski (1975). This research aims to demonstrate how the journey narrative, whether literal or metaphorical, functions as a primary vehicle for spiritual articulation. Ultimately, this comparison highlights the diversity and depth of spiritual expression in the classical Islamic world, where the path to God could be mapped through both a real journey in the world and through the inner landscape of the human heart.
