Abstract

Research on dark themes in literature and music often focuses on narrative or aesthetic form, leaving a gap in understanding how psychological and philosophical dimensions shape artistic expression. This study aims to explore how dark desires are represented in Avenged Sevenfold’s A Little Piece of Heaven through psychological, sociological, and philosophical perspectives. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with thematic analysis, the research identifies symbolic patterns of unconscious drives, moral conflict, and emotional duality within the song’s narrative. The analysis applies Freud’s concepts of the id, ego, and superego alongside Jung’s theory of the shadow self to uncover repressed impulses, while Nietzsche’s philosophy is used to interpret how destructive instincts are transformed into creativity and moral reflection. The findings reveal that A Little Piece of Heaven embodies the duality of affection and violence, suggesting that dark desires function as both destructive and creative forces within human consciousness. This study contributes to literary and cultural studies by demonstrating how psychological repression and moral conflict in heavy metal music can be interpreted as a creative articulation of human emotion, offering insight for both literary analysis and cultural pedagogy.

Abstract

The representation of female authority in films has often been tied to questions of empowerment, leadership, and gendered expectations. However, few studies analyze how authority is constructed through both verbal and non-verbal performance, particularly within conflict-driven cinematic narratives that foreground leadership styles rather than empowerment alone. This study examines Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) using Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity and Eagly and Karau’s role congruity theory to explore how female authority is performed through dialogue and expression. The research applies a qualitative narrative analysis, specifically through close textual analysis of selected scenes, dialogues, and visual expressions that foreground moments of leadership and power negotiation among female characters. The research focuses on Maleficent, Aurora, and Queen Ingrith as central figures of authority. The findings reveal that Maleficent embodies transformative guardianship, Aurora demonstrates inclusive and collaborative leadership, and Queen Ingrith represents authoritarian domination. Authority in the film is thus constructed not as a fixed trait but as a performance enacted through words, gestures, and presence. This study contributes to feminist film criticism by highlighting the complexity of female authority beyond empowerment discourse, showing how cinematic performance mirrors, the challenges faced by women leaders in political and social contexts, and underscoring the significance of recognizing diverse and ethically grounded models of female leadership.
