Abstract

This article explores the matter of purity in Honore de Balzac’s flash fiction entitled Innocence. Purity refers to the idea that certain actions or behaviors are considered morally pure or impure based on societal norms and values. Innocence is a Honore de Balzac’s flash fiction that talks about innocence or a high curiosity spirit possessed by children. Through qualitative method and explorative approach, it is analyzed through this flash fiction that innocence is the main symbol of purity. Little Francis and Margot are two little pure spirits who live. They try new things. They notice a portrait of two figures, which is actually an image of Adam and Eve. However, because the children's minds have not matured enough and they have not been exposed to more knowledge, they do not recognize which one is Adam and which is Eve, because the figure does not wear clothes, therefore Little Francis and Margot are unsure which is Adam and which is Eve. The purity of the children is a direct mirror of innocence, which is the essence of Balzac's flash fiction. Children will only know some things because they are still pure. Purity is a natural aspect that all children have. In conclusion, adult people will laugh at them, but the children are still pure since they reflect their childhood matters.

Abstract

This paper explores the idea of hope of possibility in Keiichi Okabe’s song entitled Weight of the World or translated as Kowareta Sekai No Uta. In the game called NieR: Automata, the song is a cry of a girl who wants to save everyone from anything bad that happened to them. She wanted to redeem her past mistakes by praying the God to help her through dark times, even though the opportunity that she got is unknown. Then, how is the hope of possibility asserted in Keiichi Okabe’s Weight of the World? Through qualitative method and explorative approach, this writing explains the possibility of hope retaining the girl to achieve her dream through the unknown probability. Supported by the theory of Adrienne M. Martin, the concept extended the orthodox view of hope with the girl’s incorporation elements in this song. This is also interrelated with the human condition, highlighting how individual aspirations contribute to collective resilience and transformation. By understanding hope as a multifaceted concept, this paper underscores the complexity of human existence and the potential for renewal within shared struggles. In conclusion, the hope exists in her journey as any unknown possibility to save everyone is answered.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the interpretations of morality and ideology in Wes Anderson's film Isle of Dogs. The research employs a qualitative method with the data collection technique of note-taking by watching the film, noting the dialogues of scenes related to the themes of morality and ideology. Data analysis is conducted by examining the characters and plot of the film in relation to the concepts of morality and ideology based on ethical theories and structuralism of ideology. Morality in this film reflects the tension between individual values and collective decisions in society, while ideology is portrayed as a system of power that dominates political decisions. Through the analysis of morality and ideology, it is found that the characters in the film are caught in a conflict between actions that are considered morally right and the ideologies they follow. The film critiques social and political structures through the messages conveyed by characters like Mayor Kobayashi and Chief, who represent a larger system of power. In conclusion, this analysis highlights how the moral messages in the film are connected to ideological decisions that can either worsen or improve the state of society.
