Abstract

This article examines how the novel Meet You in the Middle by Devon Daniels portrays the reason for consummate love that causes a long term relationship, which consists of component love of intimacy, passion, and commitment in Triangular Theory of Love by Sternberg. Then, the reason is rooted in interpretation of empathy. Empathy is a physiological reaction that has three components, they are emotional, cognitive, and motivational. It helps people to understand, feel, and care about others, even if it is sometimes hard. The novel tells the story of Kate Adam and Ben Mackenzie, who are liberal and conservative Senate staffers, respectively, and who fall in love despite their ideological differences and professional rivalry. The article analyzes how the novel depicts the challenges and benefits of empathizing with a romantic partner who has opposing political views, and how empathy contributes to the development and maintenance of consummate love. Then, it concludes that the novel offers a hopeful and realistic message that consummate love can bridge the political divide, as long as the partners are willing to empathize with each other and respect their differences.

Abstract

This article investigates how gender security matters through compulsory heterosexuality in Chappell Roan's Song Good Luck, Babe. In a world dominated by heteronormativity, heterosexuality has long been considered the standard for sexual and romantic relationships that enforces a strict gender binary. Consequently, individuals in heteronormative societies who have homosexual and queer tendencies feel inevitably obligated to pursue heterosexual relationships, even if those do not bring genuine satisfaction and shapes further gender insecurities. This phenomenon is known as Compulsory Heterosexuality as theorized by Adrienne Rich. Through qualitative method and explorative approach within gender and cultural studies, this research deconstructs the elements of compulsory heterosexuality, exploring their influence on heteronormative norms and gender expectations in a song as a type of literary work. The analysis also shows how any compulsory heterosexuality will never bind people to find freedom in other gender security. In conclusion, compulsory heterosexuality significantly shapes individual identities, often leading to confusion and gender distress for those who cannot fully express or embrace their homosexual selves
