Abstract

Considering that Quakers have been used as important characters in American performance culture, this essay provides numerous examples of Quakers as represented in American theater and film: John Murdock’s play The Triumphs of Love (1795), Harry F. Millarde’s lost silent film The Quack Quakers (1916), and the Academy Award winning film High Noon (1952). In a paradoxical manner, in each of these productions ranging from farce to serious drama, Friends are shown as either claiming or as striving for unattainable moral and religious human ideals, but also as an exemplary community of individuals against which other Americans might and should be measured.

Abstract

A recent study has identified the key factors that contribute to the themes explored in Jennifer Down's award-winning novel, Bodies of Light. The book has received literary criticism for its portrayal of human bondage, vulnerability, and social distinction, making these themes the primary focus of the study. By delving into the underlying themes and attributions within the novel, this analysis has provided valuable insights into the story. Notably, the study has shed light on the power dynamics between male characters, and the protagonist's struggle with pain, emotional trauma, and poignancy. Furthermore, previous research has highlighted the connections between the novel's exploration of existential crisis and identity. Keywords: Human Bondage, Emotional Investment, Vulnerability, Childhood Grief, Emotional Instability.

Abstract

This study provides a psychoanalytic exploration of Alexandra Oliva’s novel The Last One (2016), examining the protagonist Zoo’s psychological endurance through a global pandemic. By utilizing a qualitative symptomatic reading of the text, the research investigates how Zoo maintains her equilibrium by adhering to the "Symbolic Order" of a reality television show even as the "Real" foundations of civilization collapse. Central to this analysis is the mechanism of fetishistic disavowal, expressed through the formula "I know very well, but nevertheless," which allows the protagonist to reframe catastrophic evidence—such as corpses and societal decay—as elaborate production "props" and scripted "challenges" (Žižek, 1997; Oliva, 2016).The findings reveal that Zoo’s survival is predicated on an "internalized gaze" and a persistent performance for an imagined audience, illustrating the profound power of mediated narratives over visceral reality (Lacan, 1978). However, the study also identifies the "Abject" as the ultimate point of psychological failure, where maternal anxiety and sensory intimacy finally pierce her symbolic shield (Kristeva, 1982). Ultimately, this article argues that The Last One serves as a haunting allegory for a hyperreal culture, demonstrating that the human psyche may prioritize a constructed "Script" to defer the trauma of the unassimilable Real.

Abstract

This study presents a biocultural analysis of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express (1934) through the theoretical lens of Literary Darwinism. While traditional scholarship often focuses on the novel’s formalist "puzzle-box" structure, this research explores the underlying evolutionary pressures that drive its unconventional resolution. By utilizing key concepts such as inclusive fitness, altruistic punishment, and reciprocal altruism, the article argues that the narrative functions as a cognitive simulation of ancestral justice.The findings reveal that the "Armstrong Circle" operates as a surrogate kinship unit responding to a catastrophic fitness insult—the murder of a child. The collective execution of the predator, Cassetti, is analyzed as a biological correction triggered by an evolved punitive sentiment when formal legal structures fail. Furthermore, the study interprets Hercule Poirot’s final acquittal of the killers as a biocultural compromise, where the detective’s "modular mind" recognizes the validity of proximal biological imperatives over distal social laws. Ultimately, this research suggests that the novel’s enduring global popularity stems from its profound alignment with the fundamental evolutionary heritage and moral intuitions of the human species.Keywords: literary darwinism, inclusive fitness, altruistic punishment, biocultural compromise, cheater detection, fictive kinsh

Abstract

Research on women's agency in Victorian literature typically focuses on the marginalized figure of the governess. At the same time, the upper-class coquette—who appears to wield power—remains overlooked in critical readings as a victim of systemic oppression. This research examines the coquette’s prison in Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey, specifically analyzing how Rosalie Murray’s pursuit of high-society marriage serves as a mechanism of self-erasure rather than a path to autonomy. The study employs a qualitative approach rooted in feminist literary criticism and historical realism. The data consist of textual evidence from the novel, analyzed through close reading and character-comparative analysis. The research evaluates the transition from pre-marital performative power to post-marital domestic entrapment. The results indicate that Rosalie’s flirtatious artillery provides only a temporary and illusory agency. Upon marrying Sir Thomas Ashby for rank and wealth, she experiences a catastrophic loss of freedom, becoming a prisoner and a slave within the physical and psychological enclosures of Ashby Park. The research concludes that Victorian high-society marriage, when divorced from moral compatibility, leads to psychological petrifaction. Further studies are recommended to employ a digital humanities approach to map motifs of spatial and psychological confinement across the broader canon of the Brontës and to identify systemic patterns of gender inequality.
