Abstract

This article is about A Study of Symbolism in Josh Malerman’s Bird Box. The plot is a post-apocalyptic thriller that follows Malorie, a young woman navigating a world invaded by unknown creatures who, when seen, drive people insane and to suicide. This article exposed the symbols and their meaning in Josh Malerman’s Bird Box. The approach used in this study is an intrinsic approach because symbol is one element of intrinsic approach. Frederick William Dillistone’s symbolism theory is used to analyze symbols and their meaning. Descriptive qualitative research methods are used in this study. Qualitative research uses non-numerical data to comprehend people's beliefs, experiences, attitudes, behavior, and interactions. The results of this study show that there are 9 symbols used in the story: 1. Birds which symbolize alarm, 2. Blindfold which symbolize protection, 3. Motherhood which symbolize sacrifice, 4. River which symbolize journey, 5. Unseen Entity which symbolize fear and terror, 6. Safe House which symbolize safety and security, 7. Draw Well which symbolize medicine, 8. Dogs which symbolize guide, 9. Box which symbolize physical barrier and hope. The results of this thesis demonstrate the intricacy and potency of symbolism in Bird Box. The symbols explored in the study deepen the readers' understanding of the novel's themes, heighten the narrative's emotional impact, and contribute to the broader conversation on the power of symbolism in contemporary literature.

Abstract

Loneliness, characterized by feelings of emptiness, isolation, and longing, is a complex emotional experience with significant psychological and social implications. This research discusses the sense of loneliness in Sara Teasdale’s poems: “Alone”, “Ebb Tide”, “Sleepless”, “The Treasure”, “Compensation”, and “Deep in the Night”. The aims of this research are to explain types of figurative languages used in the six poems of Sara Teasdale, and to describe types of loneliness in those poems. This study addresses this gap by focusing exclusively on loneliness as the central theme and applying a dual-lens analysis of figurative language and loneliness theory to Sara Teasdale’s poetry. This resarch applies intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. It employs a descriptive qualitative method. The source of data in this research is the six poems of Sara Teasdale: “Alone”, “Ebb Tide”, “Sleepless”, “The Treasure”, “Compensation”, and “Deep in the Night”. It is found in the result of the analysis that there are 6 types of figurative languages in 6 poems, those are: metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, metonymy, paradox, symbolism, and anaphora. These devices not only enrich the aesthetic quality of the poems but also intensify the emotional portrayal of loneliness. It is also found that Sara Teasdale suffers from both social and emotional loneliness which is revealed through the figurative language analysis and theory of loneliness from Robert S. Weiss.  This research contributes to literary studies by linking the use of figurative language with psychological theories of loneliness, exploring human experiences that are often difficult to articulate directly.
