Abstract

William Shakespeare’s drama Antony and Cleopatra illustrates various aspects of hedonism, especially in the pursuit of love, power, and desire. These behaviors are reflected in the way the characters prioritize personal pleasure over political duty, showing how immediate gratification often clashes with responsibility. This study aims to explore the different types of hedonism represented in the play. A qualitative descriptive approach is used to analyze the dialogues and actions of the main characters, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, based on Weijers’ (2012) framework. The results reveal six categories of hedonism: folk hedonism (30%), value/prudential hedonism (20%), motivational hedonism (15%), normative hedonism (12.5%), utilitarian hedonism (12.5%), and egoist hedonism (10%). Among these, folk hedonism is the most dominant, particularly in Antony and Cleopatra’s pursuit of love and passion without considering the consequences for their political roles. The research shows that Antony and Cleopatra reflects how the pursuit of personal pleasure can shape character development, create conflict, and even lead to tragedy, illustrating timeless patterns where short-term desires overshadow long-term responsibilities.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of using Canva as a digital storytelling platform to enhance their visual and written narrative skills in English writing. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 34 students who participated in a questionnaire consisting of eight closed-ended statements and two open-ended questions. The data were analyzed descriptively, using percentages to support qualitative interpretation. The findings revealed that most students perceived Canva as an accessible, enjoyable, and effective tool for developing writing skills. Students agreed that Canva helps them visualize ideas, organize stories logically, and combine words with images creatively. Moreover, Canva was found to improve students’ motivation, confidence, and emotional expression in English writing. These results are consistent with previous studies by Utami and Suriyani (2022), Febriansyah et al. (2023), Siregar et al. (2024), Herwani (2024), Eragamreddy and Joseph (2025), Hafidzin et al. (2025), and Jayanti et al. (2025), which collectively highlight Canva’s role in supporting writing engagement, creativity, and organization. The study concludes that Canva transforms traditional writing into a multimodal and meaningful process, combining linguistic and visual literacy. Therefore, Canva can be considered an innovative pedagogical tool that promotes creative thinking, digital competence, and expressive communication in the English writing classroom.
