Abstract

The analysis combines two stories, The Short Happy Life of Conat by Mochtar Lubis and The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield. The aim of this analysis is to examine inequality or class distinction and exploitation, and to explore the theme of alienation between the main characters of both stories. Using Marxist theory, this analysis highlights social and economic philosophy and relates it to the main characters, showing how they navigate their economic conditions, whether upper class or lower class. Through a Marxist lens, the study examines how Conat and Laura experience different forms of alienation as a result of their socio-economic conditions. Conat, a trishaw driver, faces alienation from both the product of his labor and the labor process itself, reflecting Karl Marx's theories of alienation in a capitalist society. Laura, on the other hand, experiences a form of alienation from herself, where her family's capitalistic priorities overshadow empathy and human connection. Despite their different contexts and backgrounds, both characters illustrate the pervasive impact of alienation within their respective societies. Keywords: alienation, exploitation, Karx Marx, Marxist theory, social inequality

This comparative research analyzes the freedom of the main characters in two short stories "Aku Perempuan" by Indah Pratama and "The Sky is the Limit" by Rohini Vij using Sigmund Freud's Tripartite Personality, which consists of the Id, Ego, and Superego. The main issue in this research is how the conflict between personal desires, reality, and social norms affects the freedom of the main characters in these two stories. The aim of this research is to understand the psychological dynamics experienced by the main characters as they struggle to achieve freedom that is limited through self-realization. The researcher wants to see freedom from Id, Ego, Superego of each of the main characters of desires and what they actually want. The method used is qualitative analysis with Freud's theoretical approach, where data is obtained from the narrative texts of the two short stories. The finding of this research shows that they navigate the conflicts between the Tripartite of how the characters can get freedom through self-realization. This analysis highlights the importance of perseverance, social support, and self-determination. By understanding this, readers, especially women can achieve personal freedom within restrictive social contexts.
