Abstract

This paper examines Posey's selfless actions, namely her readiness to make sacrifices, as a major character in Mitch Albom's For One More Day. Emotional empathy and a strong moral commitment are frequently present in altruism, which is characterized as unselfish care for the welfare of others. This study uses a qualitative yet psychological literary analysis to look at how Posey's self-sacrificing actions, whether they be financial, emotional, or physical, show what true altruism is all about. Posey continuously puts the needs of others before her own, from taking on dual parental responsibilities to facing social shame and working nonstop to maintain her family. The results demonstrate that Posey's sacrifices are based on resilience, responsibility, and true love. Her character serves as a reflection of the transforming potential of caring and emphasizes the inner strength needed to continuously give without expecting anything in return.

Abstract

This article examines how the Superman: Red Son movie by Sam Liu portrays Superman’s narcissism behavior. The movie is about another universe in DC Comics where Superman is born in Soviet Union within Cold War. It also shows how Superman is practicing his overconfidence within his God Complex as the sole legitimate ruler for his people in Superman: Red Son. In this movie, Superman is depicted as a very tyrannical Soviet leader. Superman also thinks that he is better than other people. He believes that all that he does is justified and bearing truth according to his own values. Through qualitative method, this article would like to explore more whether Superman’s God Complex is closely related to condition of narcissism behavior. In analysis, Superman is proved to practice narcissism as a high sense of self-importance, being arrogant to other people, and always act high and mighty toward the people presence. In conclusion, it is clear that Superman’s God Complex is in matter of narcissism behavior, especially in his action towards other people.

Abstract

This study investigates disablism and its impacts in Kate Chopin’s flash fiction entitled The Blind Man. Chopin straightforwardly writes that the blind man, as the main character, is discriminated against because of his disability. This is called disablism; it occurs when people have a negative viewpoint, undermine someone with a disability, and bring harm or prolonged hatred to them. Through the theory of disablism and qualitative analysis, this research explores disablism and its impacts in both real life and literature. Chopin’s flash fiction proves that treatment toward human beings is never neutral, but always identity-related. Meanwhile, disabled people should be regarded as human beings, not through their disabilities. In conclusion, Chopin’s story opens people’s eyes to humanize others, especially those with physical limitations.
