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.

Abstract

This study explores the psychological responses to loss experienced by the main characters, Toru and Naoko, in Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood (1987). Employing Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic framework Mourning and Melancholia, this study exhibits how each character demonstrates distinct responses to loss. The study was done using qualitative methodology. The findings shows Toru exemplifies the mourning process, gradually letting go of his attachment to what he has lost and re-engaging with life. In contrast, Naoko portrays characteristics of melancholia through her withdrawal, feelings of guilt, and profound connection to the lost individual, which ultimately leads her to emotional devastation. The study concludes that the novel portrays mourning and melancholia not merely as emotional reactions but as deep contemplations on human identity, attachment, and the human struggle with grief.

Abstract

In the novel “Diary Of A Void” written by Emi Yagi, the main character pretends her pregnancy in an effort to resist patriarchal pressure in the workplace. The main objective of this study is to examine the way in which the pretended pregnancy by the main character is an act of rebellion against patriarchal pressure in the workplace and its impact on the mental health of the main character. This research will utilize a qualitative textual analysis approach to explore the themes of resistance and deception in Emi Yagi’s “Diary Of A Void”. In Emi Yagi's “Diary Of A Void”, Shibata fakes a pregnancy to resist patriarchal workplace norms. Exploiting societal privileges for pregnant women, she rejects unfair tasks, forces male colleagues to assume responsibilities, and secures personal time. Her deception disrupts gender dynamics, asserting autonomy in a restrictive, male-dominated environment. The psychological impact of living a lie in the novel is relief and a sense of freedom, isolation and loneliness, the psychological strain of sustaining the lie, transformation in social perception, self-reflection, and existential thoughts.

Abstract

This study explores systematic gender discrimination in the Hollywood entertainment industry through a post-feminist analysis of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017) by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Despite increasing female participation in the industry, women continue to face structural inequalities, including objectification, limited career opportunities, and unequal power relations. Drawing on Angela McRobbie’s post-feminist theory, this research examines how female identity, empowerment, and gender bias are represented through the character of Evelyn Hugo. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes Evelyn’s experiences as she navigates a male-dominated entertainment industry. The findings reveal that Evelyn’s success is achieved not by overcoming systemic barriers entirely but by strategically negotiating the constraints imposed by patriarchal structures. Her experiences demonstrate that empowerment within a post-feminist context often requires conformity to industry expectations and personal sacrifices related to identity, relationships, and self-expression. Furthermore, the analysis highlights how male-dominated power structures continue to shape women’s professional and personal lives. The study concludes that gender discrimination remains deeply embedded in Hollywood, despite narratives of progress and female empowerment.
