Abstract

This study aims at analysing the types of figurative language and explaining the types of meanings behind the figurative language found in the song lyrics of Laufey’s album titled “Bewitched”. The data was taken from thirteen songs in “Bewitched” album by Laufey. This study was conducted using qualitative method and the documentation method utilized by note-taking technique. This study employed the theory from Knickerbocker and Reninger (1965) to analyse the types of figurative language and the theory from Leech (1981) to analyse the types of meanings. The data analysis was presented in informal way. The results show that all types of figurative were found, with their use varying to illustrate different contexts in the album, from love, personal growth, and the complexities of life. The most dominant type of figurative language is metaphor. The analysis shows that these devices contribute to conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflected, collocative, and thematic meanings in the lyrics. These different types of meaning allow the listener to develop a deeper connection and understanding of the music. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the diverse use of figurative language across various literary works.

Abstract

This study analyses the types of characters depicted in the 2024 film Friendship, directed by Andrew DeYoung, through the lens of E.M. Forster's character classification theory, specifically the distinction between flat and round characters. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, this research explores how these characters are constructed and developed throughout the film, as well as how they contribute to the emotional and thematic depth of the narrative. The film Friendship presents a dark yet psychologically rich exploration of modern masculinity, male loneliness, and emotional repression. The research findings indicate that the characters Craig Waterman and Austin Carmichael are round characters, exhibiting emotional complexity, inner conflict, and character development. On the other hand, Tami Waterman, Steven Waterman, and Tony are flat characters, remaining emotionally static and serving specific narrative purposes without significant transformation. This analysis highlights how character depth shapes viewers' understanding of social and psychological themes, particularly in contemporary cinematic narratives.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze gender oppression in the horror film Immaculate directed by Michael Mohan. The study seeks to understand how gender oppression is shown through the main female character's experiences inside a religious institution. Using a qualitative method, this study relied on repeated viewing of the film and examined selected scenes, dialogues, and character interactions that highlight the main character's experiences of oppression. The data was then analyzed through Iris Marion Young's Five Faces of Oppression theory, which provides a useful framework for identifying how oppression works against marginalized individuals. The findings show that all five forms of oppression appear in the film, namely exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence. The main character's body was used by the institution without her knowledge or consent for religious purposes. She was excluded from meaningful participation within the convent community, and she had no power to make decisions about her own body and health. She was also forced to accept the institution's dominant belief system and suffered physical violence as a deliberate means of institutional control. These findings show how Immaculate criticizes gender-based oppression within religious and institutional settings.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the portrayal of racism in The Help, a film that reflects racial inequality rooted in social systems, everyday interactions, and media representation. Methodology – This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using purposive sampling. The data were selected from spoken dialogues, monologues, and narrative voice in the movie. The data were collected through documentation and note-taking techniques, then identified, classified, and analyzed using Carmichael and Hamilton’s theory of racism. Findings – The findings reveal that Black characters in The Help experience two types of racism, namely individual racism and institutional racism. Individual racism is reflected in direct insults, humiliation, and unequal interpersonal treatment, while institutional racism is represented through social norms, policies, and legal structures that maintain racial segregation and restrict the rights of Black individuals. Novelty – This study contributes to previous research by providing a focused analysis of The Help using Carmichael and Hamilton’s theory, especially in distinguishing racism as both a personal and structural problem. Significance – This study is expected to benefit students, researchers, and educators in literature, film studies, and social studies by improving their understanding of racism as a complex social issue.
