Abstract

This study uses a symbolic interaction approach, specifically based on George Herbert Mead's ideas, to examine how Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" and Emily Dickinson's poem, “I died for beauty—but was scarce,” connect on certain themes. Using a qualitative approach that combines analysing the texts with considering the poets' social backgrounds, this research delves into how the poets express their views on beauty, truth, and mortality through symbolic interactions. This study shows that Shelley and Dickinson use beauty to explore deep questions about existence, reflecting their personal challenges and connections to society. The results of the study suggest that both poets go beyond just liking beauty; they use it as a platform for deep philosophical and emotional discussions that align with Mead’s ideas about the self and society. This analysis helps the readers see how symbolic interactions in poetry influence our experiences and cultural interpretations, shedding light on why these works are still important in today's conversations about beauty and identity.

Abstract

This study investigates the transitivity processes in Isabel Allende's short story “And of Clay Are We Created,” employing Halliday's systemic-functional theory, particularly focusing on the ideational metafunction. This framework enables an exploration of how language reflects experiences and ideologies within the short story. By scrutinizing transitivity, the analysis reveals Allende's expression of emotional depth and societal critique, shedding light on her characters' motivations and perspectives. Utilizing qualitative content analysis, the research aims to uncover the nuanced interplay between language and meaning in the text, highlighting how Allende's narrative fosters a critical understanding of societal issues. The findings are anticipated to enhance the discourse surrounding the intricate relationship between language, narrative identity, and social commentary in contemporary literature, illustrating how linguistic choices resonate within broader ideological contexts. Ultimately, this study contributes to an enriched appreciation of Allende's literary artistry and its socio-cultural implications.

Abstract

This study examines the role of storytelling in preserving cultural identity, using Nathaniel Hawthorne’s "Young Goodman Brown" as a case study. It analyses how the narrative reflects and critiques the moral and cultural identity of 17th-century Puritan New England. By exploring the story’s structure, character development, and symbolic elements, the research reveals how Hawthorne conveys complex themes of morality, identity, and societal norms. The story follows the protagonist’s journey through a dark forest, which serves as a metaphor for his internal struggle and disillusionment with Puritan values. This journey uncovers contradictions within the Puritan community, illustrating how rigid cultural identities can lead to personal crises and broader societal reflections. Hawthorne’s exploration of sin, guilt, and hypocrisy highlights the psychological and cultural tensions within Puritanism. By analysing these narrative techniques, the study demonstrates how literature can act as a tool for cultural reflection, influencing societal values and personal identities. The findings suggest that storytelling plays a crucial role in negotiating cultural identity, offering insights into both personal and societal conflicts. This research also opens avenues for future comparative studies on how narratives across different cultures address universal themes of morality, identity, and existential challenges, ensuring a focus on human elements
