Abstract

The objectives of this study are to find the motive of main character escape from her marriage and to explain how the main character struggle against life as reflected on Safe Haven novel. In doing this research, I used descriptive qualitative method because the data are taken in the form of words, sentences, utterances, and conversations made by the characters. There are several procedures to collect data; reading, identifying, inventorying, classifying, selecting and reporting. Millet's radical feminism theory was used to uncover some of the causes why domestic violence can occur, especially violence in women. The results of this study indicated that there is an existence of patriarchy system which controls social relationships within the family. The main character in this study tried to break the patriarchy system by escaping from her husband and changed all of her appearance. She started over her life in Southport in order to get her right which had been controlled by her husband. There she could live peacefully without violence and pressure. It also proved that women should use androgyny means they must have a side of masculinity to avoid being easily colonized and hurt by men in their private sphere.

There are three objectives of this study. The first is to find out how does multiple personality disorder develop in the main character. The second is to find out how the main character deals with multiple personality disorder. And, the third is to find out the impacts of the disorder in character’s life. The analysis and the description of the data are provided to find the conclusion. The analysis of this study is using Freudian psychoanalysis theory. The study shows that the main character has two personalities. He can be Dr. Jekyll who is smart and kind or he can be Mr. Hyde who is cruel. This multiple personality disorder has the bad impacts to the character. His idea about dual human nature does not have support from his colleagues, even they deny it. It makes his relationship with his colleagues as scientist become worst. The multiple personality disorder also makes him being psychiatric disorder as his willing to do physical abuses in the form of Mr. Hyde in purpose to keep his reputation as Dr. Jekyll safe. In the end, the multiple personality disorder brings him to death. As stated in the novel he commits suicide to eliminate Mr. Hyde.

Abstract

Dichotomy of the West and the East has become an issue after colonial era ended. The colonized countries such as India are seen as inferior to the Western countries—European countries and America. Moreover, according to Orientalism by Edward Said, the Westerners regard the East as The Other. This study aimed to explain (1) the concept of The Other as constructed in Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters and (2) how it affects the personality of the main characters. Observation sheets were used as research instrument and the data were obtained from library research. This qualitative descriptive study employed Orientalism theory by Edward Said in analyzing the data. It is found that the concept of The Other in Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters are constructed on three (3) keys which are (1) Westerners perspective on Indian people as well as Indian perspective on the Westerners, (2) the otherness of India, (3) and the imagery of India. Meanwhile, the construction of The Other has affected the main characters’ personality. From the construction of The Other, Indian are seen as inferior, powerless, poor, restricted, and traditional. It shows that Western hegemony can even change people’s personality and how they think about their identity. Keywords: concept, desirable daughters, orientalism, the other

Abstract

1946 was a recovery year after Second World War ended and the early modern era. At the beginning of modern era, children were taught the basic attitude of well manners and respecting others. The social attitudes into children give adults more attention to children as separate beings, innocent, and need of protection. Therefore, this study aimed to explain (1) what British expectation toward children’s future described on Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers (2) children’s characters in Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers formed by the participation of British role and (3) today’s perspective of British ideas in 1946. Qualitative descriptive study is employed with “horizon of Expectation” of reader response theory by Hans Robert Jauss is served to analyze the data. It is found that as illustrated in Malory Towers, British were expected their children to be kind, good-hearted, loved, trusted, and reliable child. In addition, parents, school, and friend’s role are important to forming children’s character to teach some values such as discipline, responsible, politeness, caring, loyal and understanding, respectful, mental strength, steady and wise attitude to reach the ideal future. On other hand, in 1946, education aims to change the society to fit the ideas of the ruling government or to create the utopian society through education. Furthermore, there are some similarities and differences of British ideas in 1946 and today’s perspective of British education system and boarding school in which all the ideas have a good aim for children’s future.s
