Abstract

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a highly satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution and the rise of the totalitarianism under Joseph Stalin. Through the revolt of farm animals against their owner, Mr. Jones, Orwell criticizes the corruption of revolutionary ideals, illustrating how a noble intention can turn into an oppressive regime. The characters in the novel symbolize key figures in history, such as Napoleon as Stalin and Snowball as Trotsky, allowing readers to explore the power dynamics and betrayal. The analysis uses formalist and a sociological method to examine how allegorical elements, propaganda, and character portrayals reflect broader social and political themes. In the end, Animal Farm emphasizes the dangers of absolute power and the importance of accountability in leadership.

Abstract

This paper explores the enduring theme of Paranoia in Thomas Pynchon’s novel “The Crying of Lot 49,” with a particular emphasis on the protagonist, Oedipa Maas. In the story, Paranoia arises as a reaction to the intricate and uncertain nature of the modern world portrayed by Pynchon. Through symbols such as the muted post horn and Tristero’s conspiratorial network, Oedipa is caught up in a never-ending search for meaning. As Oedipa delves deeper into her investigation, she experiences a mental crisis characterized by paranoia and disorientation. The more Oedipa gathers information about Tristero, the higher her paranoid levels become. She feels that everything she sees, smells, dreams and remembers will be interwoven into Tristero. This creates a tension between what is real and what is imagined. She wonders if all these clues really exist or are just imaginary. This creates a strong internal debate, making it difficult for her to believe in anything. With this discussion of paranoia in the novel, we as readers can explore how paranoia not only affects Oedipa’s perception of the world around her, but also illustrates Pynchon’s critique of social and political structures that oppress individuals.

Abstract

Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn serves as a profound critique of the class and racial inequalities entrenched in 19th-century American society. Through the characters of Huck Finn, a poor white boy, and Jim, an escaped slave, Twain illuminates the struggles faced by those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Jim's journey for freedom symbolizes the broader fight against systemic injustice that characterized his time. As a black man in a society that dehumanizes him, Jim embodies the plight of individuals denied their basic rights and dignity. His aspirations for family, financial stability, and freedom from discrimination reflect a natural right to liberty that society systematically denies him. Huck's moral development is central to the narrative, as he grapples with societal norms that dictate racial superiority and class distinctions. Initially conditioned by the prejudices of his environment, Huck experiences a transformation as he befriends Jim. This relationship challenges his ingrained beliefs and compels him to confront the hypocrisy of a society that claims to be civilized while perpetuating slavery and inequality [5][7]. Huck's internal conflict highlights the tension between societal expectations and personal conscience, ultimately leading him to reject social hierarchies in favor of empathy and human connection. Twain's portrayal of these characters not only critiques institutional racism but also underscores the necessity of personal integrity in the quest for equality. The novel advocates for a moral awakening that transcends class and race, suggesting that true freedom and dignity can only be achieved through compassion and the rejection of oppressive societal constructs [6][8]. In this way, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains a powerful commentary on the enduring issues of inequality and class struggle.

Abstract

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a piece of Gothic literature which has lasted in popularity until the modern age. There are numerous interesting aspects to analyze from this book. One such aspect is the use of paradoxes in this novel and its execution in the story. This paper aims to analyze four types of paradoxes present in Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein: Situational Paradox, Verbal Paradox, Character Paradox, and Thematic Paradox. The Situational Paradox highlights the contradictions between the intentions of Victor Frankenstein and the disastrous outcomes of his experiments. The Verbal Paradox examines instances of language that convey conflicting meanings, reflecting the complexity of the characters' experiences. The Character Paradox explores the duality within the characters, particularly in Victor and his creation, as they navigate their desires and identities. Finally, the Thematic Paradox addresses the broader moral and ethical dilemmas presented in the novel, showcasing the conflicts between ambition, responsibility, and the nature of humanity. This study will approach these issues from a mainly posmodern point of view which explores the complexity of these paradoxes. The results of this analysis revealed new insights into how these paradoxes not only serve as narrative elements but also reflect the ethical and philosophical dilemmas of the era. It can be concluded that Shelley employs paradoxes in various forms­ situational, character, verbal, and thematic-to highlight the complexities of her narrative and deepen the understanding of her characters and themes. Frankenstein oleh Mary Shelley adalah karya sastra Gotik yang tetap populer hingga zaman modern. Ada banyak aspek menarik yang dapat dianalisis dari buku ini. Salah satu aspek tersebut adalah penggunaan paradoks dalam novel ini dan pelaksanaannya dalam cerita. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis empat jenis paradoks yang ada dalam novel Frankenstein karya Mary Shelley: Paradoks Situasional, Paradoks Verbal, Paradoks Karakter, dan Paradoks Tematik. Paradoks Situasional menyoroti kontradiksi antara niat Victor Frankenstein dan hasil eksperimennya yang membawa bencana. Paradoks Verbal meneliti contoh-contoh bahasa yang menyampaikan makna yang saling bertentangan, yang mencerminkan kompleksitas pengalaman para tokoh. Paradoks Karakter mengeksplorasi dualitas dalam diri para tokoh, khususnya dalam diri Victor dan ciptaannya, saat mereka menavigasi keinginan dan identitas mereka. Terakhir, Paradoks Tematik membahas dilema moral dan etika yang lebih luas yang disajikan dalam novel, yang memperlihatkan konflik antara ambisi, tanggung jawab, dan sifat manusia. Studi ini akan membahas isu-isu tersebut dari sudut pandang posmodern yang mengeksplorasi kompleksitas paradoks tersebut. Hasil analisis ini mengungkapkan wawasan baru tentang bagaimana paradoks tersebut tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai elemen naratif tetapi juga mencerminkan dilema etika dan filosofis pada era tersebut. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa Shelley menggunakan paradoks dalam berbagai bentuk situasional, karakter, verbal, dan tematik untuk menyoroti kompleksitas narasinya dan memperdalam pemahaman karakter dan temanya.
