Abstract

This study offers an in-depth analysis of the elements of magical realism in Diana Wynne Jones' novel Howl's Moving Castle. The research focuses on specific instances of magical realism, examining their impact on character development, relationships, and personal growth throughout the narrative. Using Wendy B. Faris' theoretical framework of magical realism, this study aims to reveal how fantastical elements shape character interactions and influence readers’ perceptions of the genre’s unique attributes. A qualitative descriptive method is employed to identify three core elements of magical realism within Howl's Moving Castle: the irreducible element, the phenomenal world, and the disruption of time, space, and identity. These components are shown to significantly impact character dynamics and personal transformations, highlighting how magical realism blends reality with myth to explore complex human experiences and social themes. The findings provide valuable insights into the narrative techniques and thematic depth of the genre, enriching the understanding of magical realism’s role in literature.

Abstract

This study analyses the various manifestations and determinants of the protagonist's anxiety. Anxiety, characterized by physiological responses such as increased heart rate, sweating, and breathing difficulties akin to fear, often arises spontaneously from unpredictable sources, distinct from the immediate nature of fears triggered by specific events. Within the spectrum of anxiety, there exists both typical apprehension and anxiety disorders, the latter representing a psychological condition stemming from uncontrolled fears that significantly disrupt an individual's life. To elucidate the protagonist's experiences, the researchers draw upon Freud's psychoanalytic theory and Savitri Ramaiah's insights into anxiety. Employing a qualitative descriptive design complemented by an analytical descriptive approach, the study addresses social issues and behaviors common across societies. The findings unveil three distinct forms of anxiety experienced by the protagonist: reality or objective anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. Moreover, the research identifies environmental triggers, repressed emotions, and physical factors as key contributors to the protagonist's anxiety.

Abstract

This study examines the use of guilt-tripping as a form of psychological manipulation in Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The analysis centers on identifying both the causes and the types of guilt-tripping enacted by the novel’s manipulative character. Employing McPhillips’ (2022) theoretical framework on manipulative behavior, the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with a focus on character and narrative analysis. The findings reveal that the primary motivations for guilt-tripping include emotional dependency, a desire to manipulate and control others, and underlying feelings of low self-esteem and insecurity. In addition, two specific types of guilt-tripping behaviors are identified: love bombing and direct guilt inducement. These manipulative strategies are not only critical to the progression of the plot but also offer deeper insight into the psychological construction of the characters. The study contributes to the field of literary psychological criticism by illustrating how emotional manipulation is intricately embedded in the structure of detective fiction.

Abstract

An identity crisis, a prevalent social phenomenon, can manifest in individuals at any stage of life within society. This study explores the protagonist's struggle with identity in Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air, aiming to identify and elucidate the types of identity crises encountered. Drawing upon identity crisis theories proposed by Erikson and Baumeister, et al., the researchers employ descriptive qualitative analysis to examine and interpret the novel. The findings of the research reveal several facets of the protagonist's motivation crisis. Firstly, the causes of Paul's motivation crisis stem from his battle with liver cancer. Secondly, Paul undergoes a range of subjective experiences, including vacillating commitment, confusion about values, regular bouts of vagueness, feelings of emptiness, and self-unconsciousness, as well as anxiety. Furthermore, the study highlights various behaviors exhibited by Paul amidst his identity crisis. These include comparing his activities as a doctor and as a patient, viewing the world through the contrasting lenses of hope and death, and grappling with a sense of hopelessness as his dreams, hard work, and life choices are shattered. Overall, the research sheds light on the complexity of identity crises and their profound impact on individuals, as exemplified through the protagonist's journey in When Breath Becomes Air.
