Abstract

This study examines the implied meaning of love in Robert Burns’ A Red, Red Rose through a structural approach, integrating Cognitive Poetics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and structuralist perspectives. Using qualitative analysis, each stanza is explored to identify figurative devices such as similes, hyperboles, symbolism, repetition, rhyme, and meter, and to interpret how these elements convey nuanced emotional meanings. The findings reveal that stanza 1 presents love as fresh and harmonious; stanza 2 emphasizes its enduring nature across time; stanza 3 expresses a cosmic and temporal climax; and stanza 4 depicts a dignified farewell, highlighting constancy, hope, and devotion. Overall, Burns’ integration of figurative language and structural patterns demonstrates love as eternal, resilient, and harmoniously balanced. Suggestions for future research include applying cognitive and cross-cultural approaches to poetry, while educators and students are encouraged to analyze the interplay of form and figurative devices to deepen understanding of implied meaning.

Abstract

This study analyzes the cultural stereotypes presented in Disney’s Aladdin (1992), focusing on how the film represents Middle Eastern culture through characters, plot, setting, and themes. Using the theoretical framework of Stuart Hall’s representation theory, Richard Dyer’s concept of stereotypes, and Edward Said’s Orientalism, this research applies a qualitative descriptive method through film text analysis. The findings reveal that Aladdin contains strong elements of Orientalism, depicting Arab culture as exotic, irrational, and inferior compared to Western civilization. Characters such as Jafar, the Sultan, and even Aladdin himself are shaped through stereotypical lenses that reinforce Western cultural dominance. The film’s narrative and visual elements, from costume design, language, and setting to the theme of freedom versus control, perpetuate Western superiority while diminishing the cultural complexity of the Middle East. This study concludes that Aladdin not only entertains but also functions as a vehicle of cultural misrepresentation, shaping global perceptions of Arab identity.

Abstract

This study examines fanaticism as reflected in the characters of Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl, focusing on fanatical behavior and its underlying factors. Using a psychological approach to literary analysis, the study applies theories of fanaticism along with Freud’s motivation theory, to analyze the mental and emotional processes of the characters, particularly Cath Avery as a devoted fan of Simon Snow. The analysis reveals that fanaticism in the novel is characterized by obsessive attachment, emotional investment, and actions driven by an idealized perception of fictional narratives. Psychological needs such as escapism, validation, and identity formation significantly contribute to this behavior, while subconscious desires and past experiences further shape the characters’ deep devotion. These findings offer insights into the psychological foundations of fanaticism in literature, illustrating how fictional works influence individual behavior and motivation. This study enhances the understanding of the intersection between psychology and literature, emphasizing how literary characters reflect real-life psychological tendencies.

Abstract

This research examines the integration of Stoic philosophy and metaphor in the lyrics of Imagine Dragons’ Evolve album, focusing on the songs “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Whatever It Takes.” Using a qualitative descriptive method within a structuralism framework, this study explores how conceptual metaphors serve as vehicles for conveying Stoic principles such as emotional resilience, self-discipline, and growth through adversity. The analysis reveals that metaphors like “pain,” “chains,” “lightning,” and “sail” are not just stylistic devices, but cognitive structures that articulate key Stoic ideas. For instance, “pain” is portrayed not as suffering to be avoided, but as a catalyst for inner strength and transformation, reflecting the Stoic view that adversity is necessary for personal growth. Similarly, images of “chains” symbolize psychological constraints, while “lightning” and “sail” represent dynamic energy and purposeful direction in life. These metaphors map abstract philosophical concepts onto concrete, emotionally resonant imagery, allowing listeners to engage with complex ideas in an intuitive and relatable manner. The study demonstrates that the figurative language in Imagine Dragons’ lyrics transforms emotional experiences into philosophical reflections, bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary expression. This suggests that popular music, through metaphor, can function as a modern medium for philosophical discourse, particularly for young audiences. In doing so, this research contributes to the broader field of literary and philosophical studies by illustrating how modern song lyrics can reflect and disseminate classical ideas, fostering a deeper appreciation of Stoic values through the lens of popular culture.

Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of American religious stereotypes of Islam in the context of the 9/11 conflict as depicted in Ridley Scott’s Body of Lies. Using the theory of stereotypes and Swingewood’s sociology of literature, the research explores the relationship between factual and fictional realities. The analysis focuses on the film’s characters, plot, and setting to uncover how stereotypes are constructed and challenged. Findings reveal that the film conveys religious stereotypes through figures such as Al-Saleem, jihadist groups, and violent narratives linked to Islamic symbols. Simultaneously, it offers a critique of Western—particularly U.S.—policies via characters like Ed Hoffman and Roger Ferris, who engage in deception, manipulation, and covert operations. Notably, the character Hani Salaam is portrayed as a rational, honest, and principled Muslim, serving as a narrative counterpoint to negative depictions. Overall, Body of Lies presents a complex interplay between reinforcing and contesting religious stereotypes within a post-9/11 sociopolitical framework.

Abstract

This research explores the psychological trauma experienced by Juliet Sykes, a secondary character in Before I Fall (2010) by Lauren Oliver, through the lens of Sheila Cavanagh’s cultural-psychoanalytic trauma theory. The study analyzes dialogues and narrative descriptions that reveal signs of trauma to understand how Juliet’s suffering is represented in the novel. The results show that Juliet endures both Type II and complex trauma, stemming from continuous bullying, humiliation, and long-term social rejection. Her psychological responses manifest as feelings of powerlessness, recurring memories of distressing experiences, unstable emotions, challenges in constructing a coherent sense of self, and tendencies toward isolation. Moreover, the narrative portrays Juliet’s trauma as not only a mental or emotional disruption but also as an embodied and socially conditioned experience. This interpretation supports Cavanagh’s assertion that trauma is relational and performed within cultural and interpersonal contexts. Overall, the study emphasizes literature’s potential to illuminate the deep psychological consequences of bullying and to promote empathy toward individuals suffering from emotional wounds.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Into the Wild represents anti-modernism through the character of Christopher McCandless. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using the sociology of literature approach to analyze how social conditions, family background, and personal experiences influence the main character’s rejection of modern values. The data were collected from the film’s script, scenes, and dialogues, supported by relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that anti-modernism is represented through Christopher McCandless’s rejection of material success, career ambition, institutional identity, and rational planning. His perspective develops gradually as a result of emotional conflict, family instability, and dissatisfaction with modern social structures. The contrast between Annandale as a structured suburban environment and Alaska as a natural and isolated setting highlights the tension between modern institutional life and the search for authenticity. The study also identifies key anti-modernist elements, including criticism of modern society, pessimism toward material values, appreciation of nature, resistance to institutions, and rejection of rational control. The study concludes that anti-modernism in the film functions both as a critique of modern life and as a reflection of its consequences, showing that complete withdrawal from society may lead to isolation and vulnerability.
