Abstract

Female representation in literature reflects not only artistic imagination but also cultural ideologies about gender and power. This study aims to analyze the concept and portrayal of an independent woman in a patriarchal society through the character Lady Susan Vernon in Jane Austen’s epistolary novel Lady Susan (1794, published posthumously in 1871). This qualitative research employs a feminist literary approach supported by two theoretical frameworks: Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminism, as presented in The Second Sex (1949), and Robert Stanton’s theory of character and characterization, as discussed in An Introduction to Fiction (1965). De Beauvoir’s notion of “woman as the other” and her idea of female autonomy emphasize women’s capacity for self-determination and existential freedom beyond patriarchal constraints. Stanton’s theory, on the other hand, assists in examining Lady Susan as a round and multidimensional character revealed through her actions, dialogues, and the perspectives of other characters. The findings show that Lady Susan challenges traditional femininity through intelligence, manipulation, and rhetorical skill traits that enable her to exert informal power within a male dominated society. Although her methods are morally ambiguous, Lady Susan exemplifies nonconformist female independence and resistance to patriarchal norms. This study concludes that Jane Austen subtly critiques patriarchal limitations by presenting a female protagonist who actively negotiates social boundaries to assert her agency and autonomy. The research is limited to textual analysis of the novel and does not include comparative or historical reception studies; thus, the results should be interpreted within the chosen theoretical frameworks.

Abstract

This article, entitled “Code Switching in Puella YouTube Channel”, aims to identify, analyze, and describe the types of code switching and the reasons for their use in ten selected episodes of the Puella YouTube Channel. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method. Bullock and Toribio’s (2009) theory is used to classify types of code switching, while Holmes' (2013) theory is used to analyze the reasons. The findings show three types of code switching: 620 instances of intra-sentential switching, 392 instances of inter-sentential switching, and 131 instances of tag switching total of all is 1,143. The analysis of the reasons shows that 265 lines contain functions related to identity and relationships (50), status and formality (44), topic (49), quoting dialogue (19), affective function (46), rhetorical or metaphorical switching (42), and humor or playfulness (15). The results indicate that code switching in the Puella YouTube Channel is used not only for linguistic convenience but also to express social meaning and manage interpersonal communication.
