Abstract

This research aims to analyze how Anastasia portrays themes of liberal feminism and individualism. It investigates how the protagonist’s journey embodies feminist ideals of self-discovery, resilience, and the defiance of gender expectations. Grounded in liberal feminist theory, which emphasizes personal autonomy and equality before the law (McMillan, 2009); this study employs qualitative descriptive methods to explore how Anastasia’s narrative reflects these principles. Themes such as identity formation, gender norms, and personal agency are analyzed through the protagonist’s experiences. The analysis reveals that Anastasia challenges traditional gender roles by portraying feminine traits—compassion, resilience, and emotional intelligence—as strengths rather than weaknesses. The protagonist’s journey from orphaned amnesiac to rediscovered princess illustrates themes of empowerment and self-determination within a feminist framework. The film’s depiction of Anastasia’s relationships and challenges underscores the broader feminist discourse on identity and societal expectations. By confronting external pressures and embracing her true self, Anastasia embodies the resilience and agency central to feminist ideals. Through its narrative complexity and thematic depth, Anastasia contributes meaningfully to feminist discourse. It celebrates personal growth; challenges gender stereotypes, and advocates for women’s empowerment. The study concludes with reflections on the enduring relevance of feminist themes in animated media and their impact on audiences.

Abstract

Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d’Urbervilles illuminates profound connections between individuals, society, and the natural world. This study examines Hardy's narrative through an ecofeminism lens, investigating the role of nature in shaping women's self-awareness, particularly exemplified by the protagonist Tess. Utilizing qualitative descriptive methodology, the research delves into Tess's experiences, elucidating the intricate interplay between her consciousness, societal constraints, and environmental dynamics. The research reveals nature as a multifaceted backdrop for Tess's journey of self-discovery. Initially, her poignant encounter with the death of her horse, Prince, triggers a profound introspection, catalyzing her awareness of life's fragility and her own agency within the natural order. However, subsequent traumas, such as her violation in the forest, tarnish her perception of nature as a sanctuary, rendering it a poignant symbol of her suffering. Nevertheless, nature also offers Tess moments of solace and renewal. Her immersion in farm life provides a conduit for reconnecting with the rhythms of the earth, fostering resilience and empowerment amidst adversity. Moreover, nature becomes a refuge from societal judgment, albeit simultaneously serving as a poignant reminder of her past. Through Tess's odyssey, Hardy underscores the intimate bond between women and nature, shedding light on their vulnerability within patriarchal structures. This research contributes to the discourse on ecofeminism in literature by elucidating how nature shapes women's self-awareness and agency, advocating for a nuanced understanding of their complex relationship. Ultimately, it underscores the need for more equitable and empowering connections between women and the natural world.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the patterns and underlying factors of code-mixing (CM) among Indonesian youths in Aaron's English-Speaking Club, a community dedicated to practicing English in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a grounded theory approach by Charmaz (2016), the research involved in-depth interviews with ten club members, selected via probability sampling. The conversations were analyzed to quantify the frequency of CM (the insertion of Indonesian words into English discourse) and to identify the sociolinguistic factors influencing this phenomenon using the framework of Holmes (1992). Findings reveal that all participants engaged in CM, with percentages ranging from 0.52% to 24.34% of their total words. The analysis indicates that CM is not an indicator of low proficiency but a strategic, communicative resource. Key factors influencing CM included occupation, cultural attitude, and regional background. Notably, participants were initially unaware of the linguistic concepts of CM and code-switching (CS), but upon explanation, all identified more strongly with CM than CS in their typical language use. The study concludes that CM is a natural and prevalent feature of bilingual communication among these youths, reflecting their dynamic linguistic identity and the specific social context of their English practice community. It recommends increased metalinguistic awareness to empower speakers in their bilingual journey.
