Abstract

"Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou is a poem that represents the African American experience in the United States. The messages inside the poem declare her liberation from her traumatic past, including racial oppression, national boundaries, and sexism. This research aims to reveal the psychological conflict Maya Angelou encountered while facing trauma as a black race. This research uses a qualitative data collection method that is more descriptive and interpretive by focusing on in-depth observations of themes and imagery in poetry written by Maya Angelou's figure regarding the experience of traumatic events in the past. Using psychosocial analysis by Erik Erikson to find how the speaker's subconscious desires to become more resilient and ultimately love herself after the conflict occurs to her. The writer represents the poem as the resilience of a black woman who went free from her husband even though she experienced psychological conflict. Through her poem titled "Still I Rise", Maya Angelou successfully depicts her psychological issues and how she omitted herself from the traumatic experience of being a second-class citizen living in America, which constantly received oppression and discrimination. Thus, it is found that she did indeed feel inferior to it, but later she become fine.

Abstract

This study explores the complex character of Paul Atreides in the movie “Dune” (2021), using psychoanalysis theory to uncover the hidden behaviors that determine Paul's psyche. While many analyses of "Dune" exist, there is a gap in that existing research focuses on broader themes, and this study tries to fill that gap by providing an in-depth exploration of Paul's psyche. This study aims to point out and interpret Paul's defense mechanisms in response to the chaotic events on Arrakis by analyzing the film's narrative and character development. This analysis uses qualitative research with Freud's psychoanalytical frameworks through Defense Mechanism Theory to examine the main character's psyche, motivations, and development in the movie "Dune." The methodology analyzes the character's actions, interactions, and personal journeys within the narrative, shedding light on their role in the film's narrative. The results show four types of Defense Mechanisms found in Paul Atreides as a protagonist in the movie "Dune": repression, denial, projection, and sublimation. This study concludes that the psyche, motivations, and character development of the main character, Paul Atreides, are evoked by the relationships and situations present in the film's narrative using a psychoanalytic framework.
