sidekick in literature is perceived as a supporter of a hero or a man-behind a hero. However, it does not always work that way. In Sherlock Holmes canon, there can be found a well-known dr. John Watson who acts differently as a sidekick for Sherlock Holmes as a protagonist of the stories. Throughout the canon, Watson does not merely act as a supporter or a man-behind who just follows Holmes’s moves. In many occasions, Watson contributes varied significant things in supporting Holmes through some roles he possesses. Moreover, what Watson contributes is found out to be influential to Holmes. Therefore, it can be seen that being a sidekick can do other things apart from following the hero all the time.Based on the facts about Watson’s contributions, this paper is conducted to examine the roles dr. John Watson as a sidekick. The data used in the research are 56 short stories and four novels of Sherlock Holmes bundled together in Sherlock Holmes canon. The method of collecting the data is executed through intensive reading, mapping out the roles of dr. John Watson found during the reading process, and analysing the collected data.Since the focus of this paper is about dr. John Watson’s roles and their influences towards Sherlock Holmes, objective theory is chosen to be employed. Related to the theory, this paper offers the explanation of intrinsic elements with focus on character element and sidekick character.

There has been a longstanding debate about the origin of detective fiction, with most recognizing Poe as its pioneer. However, there remains a need to comprehensively analyze the literary influence that spans across generations in detective fiction. This research introduces a comprehensive analysis of the literary influence that spans across generations in detective fiction, shedding light on the intricate web of connections between Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Laurie R. King. Central to this investigation is the application of Harold Bloom’s theory of revisionary ratios, which serves as an invaluable analytical framework. Through the application of Harold Bloom’s theory of revisionary ratios, this research provides a comprehensive exploration of the enduring significance of intertextuality in shaping the detective fiction landscape. It underscores the intricate web of influences that connect Poe’s pioneering works with subsequent narratives by Conan Doyle and King. Having the enduring significance of intertextuality that shapes the detective fiction landscape, this study still offers a novel perspective on the genre’s dynamic evolution. The method involves a detailed review of revisionary ratio concepts and their implications for understanding complex literary works more thoroughly. The result reveals the enduring significance of revisionary ratios in understanding the complexities of literary works, with Edgar Allan Poe’s influence resonating in subsequent detective stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Laurie R. King.

The growing inclusivity in today’s literary world offers female writers the chance to explore a wide range of themes even those that were previously considered exclusive for male writers. It led to the re-examination and reinterpretation of classic literature through a feminist lens. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of Natasha Solomons’ Fair Rosaline through the lens of Harold Bloom’s “Revisionary Ratios.” This paper employs mainly qualitative research design by combining textual analysis and comparative literary criticism to explore Natasha Solomons’ Fair Rosaline as a feminist reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet through the lens of Harold Bloom’s “Revisionary Ratios” theory and feminism literary theory. The texts of Fair Rosaline and Romeo and Juliet serve as the primary data. Not only that this research adds to the larger discussion concerning the place of women in literature while also improving our understanding of Fair Rosaline and its connection to Romeo and Juliet, but also offers new insights into how feminist writers reimagine classical texts and empower female narratives with new, critical perspectives.

Crime fiction has long served not just to entertain but to reflect deeper cultural anxieties about identity, power, and social order. However, its potential to interrogate colonial legacies and gender inequalities remains underexplored. This paper examines how characters from different cultural backgrounds are represented in Laurie R. King’s O Jerusalem, a novel set in British-occupied Palestine, through the combined lenses of postcolonial and feminist theory. Drawing on Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism and Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, the study analyses interactions between Western (the Self) and Eastern (the Other) characters, as well as between male and female figures. The aim is to understand how cultural and gendered identities are constructed, contested, and transformed within the context of historical crime fiction. This research contributes to current literature by combining postcolonial and feminist perspectives to address an overlooked intersection in crime fiction studies, how colonial power dynamics and gendered identities are co-constructed and contested within the genre. With the application of this dual framework, the study fills a critical gap in understanding how crime fiction not only reflects but also revises dominant narratives of identity, authority, and resistance. The method involves a careful qualitative analysis grounded in close textual analysis to investigate how identity is constructed and negotiated in O Jerusalem. The analysis focuses on the characterisation of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes as Western figures, while also examining how other characters from both Western and Eastern backgrounds are represented. The study pays particular attention to themes of gender, culture, and power as framed by postcolonial and feminist theories. The findings reveal that Laurie R. King complicates cultural and gender identities through evolving relationships between Western and Eastern characters. Her portrayal of Western figures as both protagonists and antagonists challenges the assumed moral superiority of the West. Through Mary Russell, King also redefines female agency in detective fiction by offering a feminist revision of the traditionally male-centred Sherlock Holmes canon. These insights contribute to literary studies by illustrating how popular fiction can critically engage with colonial discourse and gender norms. This dual focus on postcolonial and feminist themes offers fresh insights to rethink detective fiction as a genre that challenges colonial power structures and gender norms. It demonstrates how popular literature can actively contribute to socio-political critique and reshape dominant understandings of identity, culture, and resistance. The study emphasizes the importance of re-evaluating traditional narratives in modern crime fiction.

Women’s oppression remains a critical global issue, as reflected in Tayeb Saleh’s “Season of Migration to the North”. This study examines the intersecting dimensions of oppression faced by the novel’s female characters, employing Sean Ruth’s (1988) theory of oppression—physical, psychological, internalized, and economic—and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s (1989) theory of intersectionality (the idea that overlapping identities such as gender, race, and culture create distinct forms of disadvantage). It also attends to “double colonization,” namely women’s simultaneous subjection to colonial power and to local patriarchal control. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the novel portrays systemic oppression through the experiences of both black Sudanese and white British women by focusing on how intersecting identities amplify their marginalization. A qualitative descriptive method was applied through close reading and analysis of key passages to identify evidence of oppression and its broader societal implications. The results reveal that black Sudanese women, such as Hosna Bint Mahmoud, endure compounded oppression driven by cultural norms, religious interpretations, and economic dependency. In contrast, British women experience gendered violence and manipulation despite their racial privilege within colonial hierarchies. The novel’s distinctive contribution to postcolonial feminist discourse lies in its exposure of a paradox: acts framed as resistance to colonial dominance can reproduce patriarchal harm; and this shows that power circulates across multiple domains rather than along a single axis. In conclusion, this study highlights how “Season of Migration to the North” critiques patriarchal and colonial dominance by offering a comprehensive understanding of how overlapping systems of power shape women’s experiences in postcolonial contexts.

This study explores how West Kalimantan folklore can be integrated into a children's literature class at STBA Pontianak through a creative writing project. The aims are to encourage students to understand local culture through storytelling and identify the elements of folklore. The analysis is based on three selected stories: The Curse of Jubata (Kapuas Hulu), The Adventure in Lawang Kuari Cave (Sekadau), and The Adventure of Bujang Beji (Sintang). The study uses Alan Dundes’ theory (2007) to examine students’ writing using four folkloristic elements: Tradition, Cultural Transmission, Variation, and Group Consciousness. The findings show that the stories reflect continuity of local beliefs, moral values, and harmony among communities, predominantly Dayak and Malay, as appeared in the chosen stories. The study suggests that Dundes’s framework can serve as a practical tool for developing creative writing rubrics in a multicultural classroom. By linking folkloristic theory with pedagogy, teachers can help students appreciate their cultural heritage while strengthening critical and creative skills. Future research should validate this rubric and explore broader applications of folklore-based learning across different cultural settings.
