Abstract

This paper explores the anthropomorphic elements in Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit and their role in reflecting Victorian societal values. Through the depiction of Peter wearing human-like attire, notably his blue jacket, and standing upright, Potter imbues the character with human qualities, making him relatable to young readers. This anthropomorphism serves to symbolize both the innocence and adventurous spirit of childhood, while highlighting the tension between curiosity and the moral lessons of obedience and responsibility. The garden, as a space of both adventure and danger, mirrors the Victorian ideal of childhood exploration within the confines of authority. Peter's journey—marked by disobedience, mischief, and eventual growth—illustrates the duality of childhood: innocence coupled with the need for guidance. By balancing exploration with consequences, Potter’s narrative conveys timeless moral lessons, making Peter Rabbit a relatable, enduring story for both children and adults that transcends its Victorian context. The story’s appeal lies in its ability to speak to universal themes of personal growth and the balance between freedom and discipline. Potter’s use of anthropomorphism, coupled with her nuanced portrayal of childhood, ensures that Peter Rabbit remains an essential piece of literature that continues to resonate across generations.

Abstract

Ecofeminism is an understanding of the relationship between women and the universe that approaches issues of environmental degradation and social injustice from the premise that how we treat nature and how we treat each other are inseparable. This research discusses the character of a woman in the novel How Beautiful We Were which aims to find out the depiction of the struggle of African women in protecting their environment. This research uses the theory of ecofeminism from Greta Gaard and Murphy with descriptive qualitative research methods and note- taking as an instrument. This research was conducted to add and give awareness to readers about the importance of preserving and protecting the environment around us. The results found in this novel that the female character named Thula fulfills the three aspects of women's struggle in the theory of ecofeminism. The researcher concluded that in this novel, the most visible struggle of women leads to the community, so that the movement carried out by the main character is able to realize that it is important to fight for and protect our nature from the threat of companies that come to destroy it

Abstract

This research explores the processes and underlying factors that lead to culture shock in the main character of the movie Queen (2014), employing Sverre Lysgaard's U-curve theory as the analytical framework. The U-curve model outlines various stages of adaptation that individuals undergo when exposed to a new culture. Through this lens, the study identifies six key phases experienced by the protagonist: before departure, arrival (Honeymoon), the onset of culture shock, feelings of discomfort and unhappiness, gradual adjustment, and eventual completion of the adaptation process. The analysis reveals that the main factors contributing to the character's culture shock include significant differences in cultural norms, unfamiliar food, lifestyle changes, and language barriers. Each of these elements presents unique challenges, which the character must navigate as she transitions into her new environment. This research not only highlights the emotional and psychological shifts during the adaptation process but also underscores the broader impact of intercultural encounters, offering a nuanced understanding of how cultural differences influence personal growth and adaptation in unfamiliar settings.
