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.
