This study examines the psychiatric symptoms called Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) experienced by Alicia Berenson in The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. This study aims to describe the symptoms and causes of Alicia Berenson, who experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In this study, the writer applies a theory of the psychology of literature by Wellek and Warren and the theory of PTSD by Carlson & Ruzek. This study uses a psychological approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative. There are several PTSD symptoms found in Alicia’s characters, i.e., reliving the trauma through flashbacks, negative self-view, aggressive behavior toward oneself or others, impulsive behavior, social isolation, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulty. The causes of Alicia’s PTSD are a car accident at a young age, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, child abuse, and betrayal by her husband. It can be concluded that Alicia experienced PTSD, which later became complex PTSD due to repeated verbal abuse over a long period.

This research delves into the anxiety experience of Cath, the central protagonist in Rainbow Rowell’s novel “Fangirl.” The study addresses to investigate three key issues: the symptoms of Cath’s anxiety, its underlying causes, and its effects. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s literary psychology theory, this qualitative research aims to explore Cath’s anxiety journey. The primary source of information is the novel “Fangirl” itself. Employing techniques such as textual analysis, note-taking, keyword identification, and data collection. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of Cath’s psychological landscape. The research reveals that Cath encounters two prominent anxiety symptoms. Firstly, she experiences panic disorder upon her initial move to the hostel, where she encounters a male student in what should be an exclusively female dormitory. Secondly, stress disorder emerges as a result of her twin sister’s renewed connection with their mother, prompting Cath to confront her past. Cath’s anxiety roots itself in familial circumstances, encompassing her parents’ divorce, her father’s illness, and the strained relationship with her twin sister, Wren. This familial dynamic contributes to Cath’s dependency and introverted tendencies. The implications of Cath’s anxiety are far-reaching. The negative impact of her anxiety is manifested in her reliance on her twin sister, hindering her personal growth and self-reliance. By applying Sigmund Freud’s literary psychology theory, the research provides insights into the symptoms, causes, and effects of Cath’s anxiety. This analysis underscores the significance of understanding literary characters’ psychological experiences and their broader implications for personal growth and relationships.

This study discusses the characteristics of parody in Prejudiced by Authorinfires as a fanfiction reinterpretation of classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Using Linda Hutcheon's theory of parody, this research aims to identify how elements of parody are presented in the text along with critical differences. This study uses a qualitative method with an intrinsic approach, and analyzes the text based on Hutcheon's four main characteristics of parody, namely repetition with critical difference, intertextuality, two-level structure, and critical and interpretive functions. The results show that Prejudiced contains all four characteristics, especially through gender reversal, narrative transformation, and direct quotes from Pride and Prejudice that are reworked. Characters such as Ezra Bennet and Anne Darcy become parodies of the characters in Pride and Prejudice, but with new perspectives that reflect current social issues and power dynamics. Through its dual structure and deliberate ironic distance, Prejudiced functions not only as entertainment, but also as a contextualized and reflective social critique of the classic novel.

Although numerous studies on Circe have concentrated on feminist reinterpretation and female agency, comparatively limited attention has been given to the structural reconstruction of Odysseus' heroism itself, a gap increasingly pressing given the growing cultural prominence of mythological retellings. This study examines how heroism, as a culturally constructed concept, shifts across The Odyssey and Circe. Using Roland Barthes’ concept of the cultural code as a structuralist framework, it analyzes how Odysseus’ heroism, grounded in kleos, aretē, and timē in the Homeric epic, is reconstructed in Circe through modern ethical and psychological perspectives. While traits such as intelligence and endurance remain consistent, the ideological foundation of heroism shifts from collective honor and public glory toward moral accountability and interior consciousness, suggesting heroism is not a universal ideal but a culturally dependent construct reshaped through literary adaptation.

This study examines the family identity of Miguel Rivera as portrayed in the script of Coco (2017), written by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina. Two central questions guide the research: what conflicts Miguel faces in connection with his family identity, and how he comes to understand and discover his true family identity throughout the narrative. The theoretical foundation of this study is drawn from Erik Erikson's framework of psychosocial development, with particular focus on the stage known as Identity vs. Role Confusion, which addresses the struggle between externally imposed roles and an individual's own developing sense of self.The study adopts a qualitative approach, employing content analysis as its method of inquiry. The data consist of selected dialogues, character actions, and narrative sequences taken directly from the script of Coco (2017), chosen for their relevance to Miguel's experience of family identity conflict and discovery. The scope of analysis is intentionally focused on Miguel Rivera as the central character, with other characters treated as supporting figures rather than independent subjects of study.Two primary findings emerge from the analysis. To begin with, Miguel's conflicts with his family identity follow an escalating pattern rooted in the Rivera family's long-standing prohibition of music, a prohibition that operates as a form of identity foreclosure, denying Miguel the space to explore who he genuinely is. These conflicts grow in intensity as the story progresses, moving from quiet suppression at home to conditional blessings that require Miguel to surrender his sense of self entirely. Additionally, Miguel's path toward understanding his family identity proves to be neither sudden nor solitary. It unfolds gradually through his relationships with Ernesto de la Cruz, Héctor, and his ancestors, each encounter dismantling a layer of the false identity he had constructed until he arrives at the truth: that his family identity was never built on the rejection of music, but on the quiet devotion of a man named Héctor who only ever wanted to go home.The study concludes that the script of Coco offers a nuanced and emotionally resonant portrayal of family identity formation, one that speaks directly to the concerns at the heart of Erikson's theoretical framework. Miguel's journey makes clear that a genuine sense of family identity is not something that can be inherited without question or escaped without consequence. It must be sought, tested, and ultimately chosen.
