Abstract

This study explores the representation of adolescent trauma through the character of Hannah Baker in Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a psychological literary analysis approach, the research applies Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and the concept of complex trauma to investigate how environmental systems contribute to psychological deterioration. The analysis identifies five levels microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem that each fail to provide the support Hannah needs, ultimately leading to her emotional collapse. Key findings reveal that direct peer betrayal, institutional neglect, weak family-school communication, cultural normalization of victim-blaming, and cumulative unresolved trauma collectively influence the protagonist's declining mental health. The study demonstrates that trauma in adolescence is rarely the result of a single incident but rather the accumulation of systemic failures over time. The findings imply that educational institutions and communities must adopt trauma-informed frameworks and foster empathetic, interconnected support systems to protect vulnerable youth.

Abstract

Persona is one of Jung's archetypes, representing the mask or our other personality we make when we appear in front of people. The existence of personas is added to many forms of literature nowadays, especially in the character, which makes the story more complicated and enjoyable for the reader. Personas are given deep characteristics about the character's traits and psychological development. The novel "Shameful Life," also known as "No Longer Human," was written by Dazai Osamu and tells the life story of a man who lives as a clown to conceal his true nature from society. However, the clown persona that he is proud of and wears in his life becomes his prison for eternity. The qualitative research will be the main foundation of the paper’s method, which will be filled with a combination of data processing and theory. The method has succeeded in giving a detailed description of the Clown person and its cause and effect. The clown persona is a persona that is possessed and created by the main character using the reference of a clown. The main character believes that, if he could always use a clown persona and entertain people, he would be accepted by the human society, but those beliefs will be crushed by his own persona.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the psychoanalysis feminism of the representation of patriarchy and woman autonomy of the character Curley’s wife in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. The analysis is conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach, applying Juliet Mitchell’s theory of psychoanalysis feminism to describe the woman’s condition during the American Great Depression through the character of Curley’s wife, who is not named and experiences various forms of oppression as impacts of the patriarchal system. The results show that Curley’s wife is portrayed as a character who goes against patriarchal norms. She exhibits various emotional and behavioral responses due to the psychological and social pressures she experiences. Patriarchy affects Curley’s wife’s self-perception and social interactions, causing her to feel deep loneliness and frustration. Through psychoanalysis and feminist analysis, this study reveals how gender norms and patriarchal structures shape women’s psychological conditions. Curley’s wife experiences alienation, loneliness, and lack of power in the patriarchal structure that exists in the environment where she lives. Mitchell says that the pervasive suffering experienced by women highlights that extreme physical violence is an ever-present threat. This persistent fear becomes a defense mechanism against their loneliness and a means to cope with male domination. Additionally, their behaviors, often perceived as flirtatious, are ways to express a deep-seated desire to escape the constraints of patriarchy. Curley’s wife’s flirtatious nature becomes a defense mechanism against her loneliness, a way to deal with Curley’s domination, and a way to express her desire to escape patriarchy.

Abstract

This research aims to find out defense mechanism of Eleanor character in the novel The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. The primary issue raised is how Eleanor character employs defense mechanisms, especially reaction formation to cope with her past traumas. This research focuses on identifying events from Eleanor’s past that contribute and trigger reaction formation in Hill House, a house where the characters attended as respondent. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data consist of excerpts from the novel The Haunting of Hill House. The results reveal the forms of reaction formation shown by the character. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the connection between trauma and defense mechanisms in the characters. For example, Eleanor character manipulated her behavior while staying at Hill House, revealing a different side of herself to the other characters. This aligns with Freud’s theory of reaction formation. Eleanor character tried to hide her true feelings so that the other characters would not isolate her. This situation shows how people can use reaction formation as a defense mechanism to cope with their trauma or her psychological conflicts.
