Abstract

Capitalistic ideas of beauty in Japanese society are found in how beauty is perceived as social demand and necessity. This study attempts to reveal how the perception of women’s body and beauty in Breasts and Eggs is heavily influenced by the patriarchal and capitalistic ideals. We argue that capitalistic ideas shape the objectification of women’s bodies by using Naomi Wolf’s concept on the Beauty Myth and Alison Jaggar’s theory of capitalist feminism. It finds the female characters embody capitalist beauty standards set by the society through cosmetic surgery, media influences and societal judgment. The female character’s insecurity due to the capitalistic standards of beauty encourage her to follow beauty procedures such as breast augmentation. It reflects that beauty is transformed into commercialism and commodity. These beauty myths and beliefs lead into the psychological effects as shown further by the character’s thoughts on puberty that is tied to social expectation.

Abstract

This study examines the defense mechanisms and narcissistic behavior of the main character in R. F. Kuang’s novel Yellowface (2023) using Karen Horney’s concepts of the idealized self and neurotic needs, as well as Christopher Lasch’s ideas about cultural narcissism. This research explores how June protects herself from envy and guilt by using various forms of self-deception. It also explores how the social media-driven publishing world shapes June’s narcissistic behavior. This research uses qualitative-descriptive methods and deep text analysis. The focus of the study is on the emotional insecurity, the need for recognition, and the dependence on public opinion. Findings show that June creates an idealized image of herself as a successful writer and maintains it through self-deception. At the same time, the publishing industry that focuses on visibility, approval, and performance affects her by pushing her to judge herself and her value through attention and compliments. When this recognition is lost, she feels anxiety, fear, and emotional instability. This study suggests that self-deception and narcissistic behavior in Yellowface are not just personal weaknesses, but psychological strategies created by internal conflict and a competitive cultural environment.
