The data collection technique employed in this study is literature review. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis. The research adopts a sociological approach to literature with James C. Scott's theory of resistance. The primary data source utilized is the novella "Al-Lawn Al-Akhar" by Ihsan Abdul Quddus. The findings of this research indicate the presence of two forms of resistance in the novella "Al-Lawn Al-Akhar" by Ihsan Abdul Quddus: open resistance and covert resistance. 1) Public resistance is demonstrated by female characters in the novella through acts of rebellion, contradiction, anger, and threats expressed with a raised voice and visible facial expressions. This form of resistance is adopted by female characters who feel they are being treated unfairly or denied justice, prompting them to resist in order to defend themselves and seek their rights or justice. 2) Hidden resistance is practiced by the female character within the novella. It is manifested through silent grumbling and cursing within their hearts, behavior that reflects disapproval, silence, and concealed tears not shown to others.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language style and social meaning in Woman of the Hour directed by Anna Kendrick. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a stylistic approach to identify the forms of language style used in the movie and to interpret their social meanings. The data were collected from dialogues, expressions, and symbolic elements appearing throughout the film. The data analysis was conducted through data reduction, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing based on stylistic theory and social meaning analysis. The findings reveal that the film employs a realistic, manipulative, and psychologically tense language style to portray power imbalances within a patriarchal society. Conversational style, manipulative language, silent communication, and symbolism such as the show’s script, Polaroid cameras, and studio lighting function not only as aesthetic elements but also as media for social criticism regarding the objectification of women, psychological manipulation, and society’s failure to recognize danger. The film illustrates how women are often expected to maintain politeness and social comfort even in threatening situations. This study implies that stylistic analysis can help reveal the relationship between language, symbolism, and social conditions in films, especially concerning gender issues and violence against women. Furthermore, this research is expected to increase public awareness of social manipulation and the importance of respecting women’s intuition and sense of safety.
