Abstract

Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, a seminal work in American literature, profoundly explores the roles, aspirations, and challenges faced by women in the 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the novel follows the lives of the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—as they navigate the complexities of womanhood in a society governed by rigid gender norms. Through rich character development and a compelling narrative, Little Women offers insight into the evolving landscape of women's rights and feminist thought during a pivotal era in American history. This paper aims to analyze the representation of feminism in Little Women, examining how the novel both conforms to and challenges traditional gender expectations. Drawing on liberal, Marxist, existentialist, and radical feminist theories, the paper explores various aspects of the March sisters' experiences, shedding light on their pursuit of autonomy, independence, and self-determination. Through a comprehensive analysis of key passages and character dynamics, the study uncovers the ways in which Alcott's work contributes to the broader discourse surrounding women's rights and gender equality.

Abstract

This study investigates the depiction of bipolar disorder in Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places, focusing on its impact on the protagonist, Theodore Finch. Using a psychological framework, the research draws on Lesmana’s theory of bipolar disorder to analyze the manic and depressive episodes Finch experiences throughout the novel. The narrative vividly portrays Finch’s drastic mood swings, alternating between periods of elevated euphoria and profound depression. This analysis examines how these emotional extremes shape Finch's interactions with others, influence his relationships, and contribute to his suicidal thoughts. Through a deep dive into Finch’s character, the study emphasizes the challenges of living with bipolar disorder, illustrating how the disorder affects both personal identity and social dynamics. The findings reveal that Finch's experiences align with the characteristic patterns of manic and depressive episodes, as outlined in Lesmana’s theory. Ultimately, the research highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues in literature, enriching the conversation on psychological themes and fostering greater empathy for those affected by such conditions.

Abstract

Literature possesses a unique ability to deeply engage human senses and emotions, forging a profound connection between individuals and the themes encapsulated within literary works. This research investigates the ecological themes interwoven throughout Saras Dewi's poem, Kekasih Teluk, offering a poignant reflection on humanity's relationship with the natural world. Employing a qualitative research approach rooted in the hermeneutic method, the research interprets Dewi's Kekasih Teluk to illuminate her exploration of environmental concerns such as deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Through careful analysis, the study reveals Dewi's critique of environmental exploitation, lamentation of ecological degradation, and advocacy for harmonious coexistence with nature. Drawing on ecocritical theory, which explores the intersections between literature and environmental consciousness, this research underscores the power of literature to inspire environmental awareness and action. Saras Dewi's Kekasih Teluk serves as a call for environmental stewardship and sustainable living, urging readers to reevaluate their relationship with the Earth. By elucidating the ecological narratives within Dewi's Kekasih Teluk, this analysis highlights the role of literature in fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between culture and the environment. Largely, this study emphasizes the transformative potential of literature in addressing pressing environmental issues and shaping attitudes towards ecological sustainability. Through critical analysis and interpretation, literature continues to serve as a catalyst for informed dialogue and proactive measures towards a more sustainable future.
