Abstract

This research examines the impact and the consequences of the protagonist's inner conflict in John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas through Karen Horney's theory of inner conflict and neuroticism. The research investigates how Bruno, the novel protagonist, deals with the impact and the consequences of his inner conflict on the storyline. The research explores how environmental changes significantly affect Bruno's development, identity, and interactions in the narrative. The problem begins with Bruno's move from Berlin to Out-With, a concentration camp for Nazi prisoners. Bruno sees firsthand the horrific environment, torture, and injustice of the new place. Each storyline has conflicts and obstacles that make Bruno's inner conflict worse. This research uses qualitative analysis, which is expected to produce an understanding of protagonist development when dealing with the impact of inner conflict on children in a social context. The impact of Bruno's inner conflict is significant, affecting various aspects of his life and actions, causing unhappiness and oppression. Bruno felt deeply unhappy and depressed, experiencing isolation and an inability to express his feelings, which often led to feelings of loneliness and alienation. This research aims to explore the impact of inner conflict on the psychological and social development of children, particularly in the context of historical trauma such as the Holocaust. The novel serves as a vehicle to discuss the effects of witnessing violence and trauma on children, which is a significant issue in psychology and child development studies. The protagonist, Bruno, experiences a range of emotions and behaviours as a result of his exposure to the harsh realities of a concentration camp, which reflects broader concerns about how such environments can affect a child's mental health and identity formation. This research also appears to be motivated by the desire to understand how individuals, especially children, cope with and are affected by their surroundings, particularly in extreme or adverse conditions.

Abstract

This study uses Freud's psychoanalysis to examine the psychological growth of the main character. in Akiyuki Nosaka's story Grave of the Fireflies. The writer examines the dynamic interaction of Freud's tripartite model the id, ego, and super-ego by analyzing the choices and actions of the characters. Every element of the main character's tripartite the Id, Ego, and Super-ego is identified and explained in the novel with the use of the qualitative technique. The results demonstrate that when the character strives to get some nourishment for himself and his sister, his id is clearly visible. The ego can be seen in his efforts to make rational decisions and find the best ways to protect himself and his sister. A clear example of the influence of the super-ego is his feelings of guilt and regret over some of his decisions, such as not returning to his aunt o refusing to seek further help from others. The analysis reveals how war impacts the psychological states of individuals, highlighting the internal conflicts that arise when basic survival needs overshadow ethical standards.

Abstract

This article explores leadership transformation through the lens of Jungian archetype in the narrative of The Lion King (2019). The movie depicts the individuation journey of its main characters, especially Simba, as a representation of the Hero archetype. The objective of this paper is to analyze Simba's individuation journey in The Lion King (2019) through the lens of Jungian archetypes. Through an in-depth analysis of Simba's relationships with supporting characters such as Mufasa (Mentor), Scar (Shadow), and Nala (Anima), the findings of this research reveal how Simba's emotional and psychological journey reflects Jung's stages of individuation, namely the integration of aspects of the self to achieve psychological wholeness by applying qualitative descriptive method in extracting movie’s scene lines. The film's narrative also shows the dynamics of leadership transformation, where Simba moves from a figure who runs away from responsibility to a wise, responsible, and balance-oriented leader. By utilizing powerful symbolism, such as the confrontation with Scar and the return of balance in the Pride Lands, this article shows that individuation is not only important in self-development but also in establishing true leadership. The article conclude that this article mainly provides new insights into how Jungian theory can be applied in modern narrative analysis, particularly in the context of personal transformation and leadership.

Abstract

This study analyzes a story entitled My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoults through the lens of Haslam dehumanization. By focusing on the forms of dehumanization that occur and the consequences of these actions to the main character in the novel. By analyzing the main character of the story, I explored the forms of dehumanization that occur through Haslam's Mechanistic Dehumanization theory. Using the qualitative method helped me to identify the forms of dehumanization and its effects in the story. An example of a form of dehumanization that occurs today clearly and is still widely circulated is the workers with very minimum wages, but their work is very heavy and many make a mismatch between work and pay. This indicates that occupational slavery is still widely practiced, by not doing human beings properly but exploiting their labor with very low wages. In my findings, I show some evidence of the forms of dehumanization and designer baby that occur to the main character in his own family, what effects this has on her, and how the character finally acts with all the forms of dehumanization that occur to him without having a value. The purpose of my research is to examine and reveal that all forms of dehumanization are wrong and disregard a human life as it happens in the novel I am discussing. The analysis which I made will show the forms of dehumanization that occur and the consequences when these things happen to a person or human being who lives in this world, focusing on a dehumanization that occurs in the main character in the novel and what consequences this behavior has on a human being.
