Abstract

This research aims to compare and contrast the gender inequality concerns in Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" and Nh. Dini "Namaku Hiroko." Using a comparative literature method, this research examines the contrasts and similarities in the author's descriptions of gender inequality concerns faced by the major characters in the two novels. The qualitative descriptive analysis approach is used in this investigation. There are parallels in the subject of gender equality for women who are deemed second-class citizens who are sexually and economically objectified and confined by patriarchal society and culture. The distinction between the two novels is that "The Color Purple" exposes the State of American culture that discredits black people, whereas "My Name is Hiroko" depicts women's economic and sexual desires. Finally, we can observe how the authors' cultural backgrounds may impact the literary works they produce since the writers will write about the socio-cultural situations they are experiencing.

Abstract

This study examines the existence of women from the main character in novel using the feminism theory from Simone de Beauvoir. This study aims to identify the depiction of the main character and analyze the existence of women in the novel The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. The data used is documentation using note-taking techniques and content analysis. The results of this study: (1) Women's representation in chess was often underestimated in the 1950-1960s era. (2) Discrimination against women cannot be avoided so that they do not get equal opportunities in the world of sports. (3) Beth, as the main character, is one of the pioneers in rejecting discriminatory treatment in sports, especially chess. (4) The main character describes women's existence through tenacity, belief, intelligence, attitude, and expressions of their defense. This research suggests that the existence of women can be fought for in sports, especially chess.

Abstract

Egri's three-dimensional theory (1923) was employed to examine the multifaceted aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark, the main character in Delia Owens' novel "Where the Crawdads Sing." This qualitative study utilized a narrative approach to gather and analyze data through inductive and deductive techniques. The findings revealed several three-dimensional aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark. Physically, she possessed beauty, long black hair, and a well-proportioned body with a deep-tanned complexion, which improved as she matured. Socially, she hailed from a lower-class American family, held various jobs as a seafood seller, book writer, and poet, and experienced discrimination and singledom. Her hobbies included reading books and collecting organisms from the marsh. Psychologically, she exhibited introversion, insecurity, sensitivity, irritability, selfishness, anxiety, and a reluctance to forgive. However, she also displayed independence, optimism, and a determined fighting spirit for survival, showcasing remarkable talent in painting and writing. Overall, the study found that the psychological dimension was more pronounced than the physiological and social dimensions. Keywords: main character, physiological dimension, psychological dimension, sociological dimension, three-dimensional aspects

Abstract

World War II was a major event that occurred in the past that had many impacts on human life, both in terms of economy, social, and culture. In addition, World War II also had an impact on literary works. Many writers criticized and expressed their emotions through literary works. One of them is the novel An English Murder by Cyril Hare which is set in the post-World War II era. This study aims to analyze how the novel An English Murder reflects what happened in Britain at that time using a qualitative descriptive method. Using Lucien Goldmann's theory of human facts, which emphasizes that literary works relate to the social structures that shape them, this study concludes that the novel An English Murder clearly depicts the social conditions in England after World War II. In addition, the research also shows that although An English Murder is a work of detective fiction, it manages to portray a broad social and political reality, as well as provide an overview of the problems that occurred in post-World War II Britain.

Abstract

Mythology or myth is an important part of the study of literature. A comparative study of two literary works written in the same language and originating from the same cultural context is not a valid application of this field. This study employs a comparative literature methodology to examine the similarities, differences, and classifications of myths associated with the Legend of Lake Toba and the Creator of Lake Chala. This research utilized a comparative literature framework to analyse the myths associated with the research subjects. This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing descriptive analysis and library research.  Both narratives employed the established plot structure identified as Freytag’s pyramid.  Despite the narrative differences, the plots of the two stories are theoretically analogous.  The Legends of Lake Toba and Lake Chala exhibit significant similarities, particularly in their narrative structures, cautionary motifs, and consequences of unmet obligations.  Based on the noted similarities and differences, particularly in the plot, the authors concluded that both The Legend of Lake Toba and The Creator of Lake Chala fit within the speculative and explanatory (etiological) category of myths.

Abstract

This study discusses how the relationship between humans and nature is represented in popular song lyrics through the perspective of Emerson's Transcendentalism. This study examines how song lyrics can represent alternative views of nature as personal and moral consciousness. This study is a literary critique that takes a mimetic and expressive approach, using comparative literature as an umbrella to compare the two objects of study. The objects of this study are the lyrics of the songs Colors of the Wind and Lihatlah Lebih Dekat, which are analyzed using Emerson's four functions of nature: Commodity, Beauty, Language, and Discipline. The results show that Colors of the Wind represents all four functions of nature, with an emphasis on criticism of the commodification of nature, colonialism, and moral learning through human-nature relations. Meanwhile, Lihatlah Lebih Dekat highlights the function of Language by describing nature as a symbolic medium that encourages reflection on nature. This difference shows that Transcendentalism is adaptable and remains relevant across language contexts, and can be used to read popular song lyrics as literary texts that represent individual awareness of nature.
