Abstract

This study investigates the representation of trauma in Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us through the experiences of the main character, Lily Bloom. The objective is to identify how Lily’s trauma is reflected, its causes, its effects, and the coping mechanisms she employs. A psychological approach is applied, drawing on the theories of Cathy Caruth, Judith Herman, and James Pennebaker, with descriptive qualitative analysis used to examine textual evidence from the novel. The findings show that Lily’s trauma is reflected in repetitive behaviors such as shuffling cards and in dissociative experiences like hallucinations. The primary cause of her trauma is her father’s domestic violence, while its effects include difficulties in relationships, emotional conflict, and instability, but also resilience and post-traumatic growth. Expressive writing functions as her main coping strategy, helping her process painful memories and ultimately break the cycle of abuse. This study concludes that It Ends with Us portrays the psychological complexity of trauma and emphasizes the role of literature in representing recovery. The research contributes to trauma studies and literary analysis by demonstrating how fiction can reveal the lived realities of trauma survivors and provide insight into pathways of healing.

Abstract

Having been colonized by Britain, Ireland was in a very deprived condition for a very long period, especially for poor Catholic Irish. Britain had destroyed Irish civil rights by forcing them in a massive potato plantation merely to fulfill British people’s need for food, which caused the Irish in a great famine and poverty. Written by an Irish playwright in 1980, which is set in agricultural land, northern side of Ireland, Brian Friel’s Translations illustrates clearly the suffering of Irish villagers in 19th century. By applying Homi K. Bhabha’s post-colonialism theory, the dialogues from the play are analyzed to explain Irish cultural identity conflict. This play is analyzed by using a descriptive qualitative method. The result of analysis reflects the mimicry concept from Bhabha, in which it shows an ambition that Irish tradition must be vanished and replaced by British tradition. The dialogues in Brian Friel’s Translation describe that Irish language and tradition which tells a lot of Greek mythology must be replaced with the culture of Standard English language. The translations on Irish local place names into English language are forced for the sake of British imperialism importance in the Ordnance survey.

Abstract

Fear in contemporary literature is often represented not through explicit violence but through ambiguity and symbolic elements. This study examines how fear is constructed symbolically in Rumaan Alam’s Leave the World Behind. Drawing on Frederick William Dillistone’s theory of symbolism, this research interprets symbols as visible signs that represent invisible psychological realities. To strengthen the analysis, Starkstein’s concept of fear is applied to explain how uncertainty and the absence of information shape the characters’ emotional responses. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, using narrative descriptions, dialogues, and events from the novel as primary data. The findings reveal that darkness functions as the dominant symbol of fear, representing confusion, loss of control, and psychological instability caused by the unexplained blackout. In addition, the black color symbolizes death, danger, and the unknown, particularly through images of animal corpses and abnormal animal behavior. These symbols collectively construct an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty, emphasizing that fear in the novel emerges from ambiguity rather than direct confrontation with visible threats. This study contributes to literary studies by demonstrating how symbolic strategies are used to represent psychological fear in contemporary fiction.

Abstract

This study analyzes the heroine’s journey of the female main character in Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library. The purpose of this research is to examine the emotional, and character development of the female main character as she navigates her inner struggles and life choices. The study applies Maureen Murdock’s theory of The Heroine’s Journey to understand how the protagonist experiences separation from her feminine identity, confronts internal conflict, and ultimately achieves healing and self-acceptance. This research focuses on key aspects of the heroine’s journey, including regret, emotional pain, and the process of reconciliation with the self. this study explores the feminism values reflected in the female main character’s journey, such as independence, emotional resilience, self-acceptance, and the balance between feminine and masculine traits. These values highlight how the novel presents female empowerment not through physical strength or external success, but through inner awareness and emotional growth. The method used in this research is qualitative, with the novel serving as the primary data source. Data are analyzed through close reading and interpretation based on Murdock’s theoretical framework. The findings show that the main character’s journey follows the stages of the heroine’s cycle, beginning with separation, continuing through trials, despair, concluding with integration, and self-understanding. The study concludes that The Midnight Library presents a modern representation of female heroism that emphasizes personal healing, self-discovery, and the importance of choosing life. Through this journey, the novel encourages readers to reflect on identity, regret, and the possibility of growth through acceptance.
