Abstract

There are a lot of studies about characters, most of which are about characters dealing with the good and bad characters as the result of the study. This study challenges the previous studies above that study on characters not merely deal with and bad but deal with survival through the characters. In Thomas Hardy’s the Mayor of Casterbridge, I study about women’s simple character for the downfall of the Mayor of Casterbriidge. Using New Criticism focusing on the characterization as well as close reading as a method, this study shows the result that the four women: Susan Henchard, Lucetta, Elizabeth Jane, and the furmity woman are above the greatness of the Mayor of Casterbridge through their simple character; Susan Henchard by her simple and natural act for the sake of her daughter future, Lucetta by her simple act to marry another man for fear of the terrible marriage with the Mayor of Casterbridge, Elizabeth Jane with her simple character to ignore the Mayor of Casterbridge for tricking her real father, and the furmity woman with her simple testimony of the terrible wife sale by the Mayor of Casterbridge. All women’s simple characters put the Mayor of Casterbridge in complete downfall in love and in business. In conclusion, though being a great man in the Casterbridge, Michael Henchard undergoes a complete downfall by the simplicity of the characters of the women. Finally, simple character is worth studying to prevent people to be arrogant.

Abstract

In May 2024, significant tuition fee hikes at Indonesian state universities led to widespread protests and public outcry. Prof. Tjitjik Srie Tjahjandari's response, emphasizing that higher education is a choice rather than a necessity, drew significant attention and criticism.The research aims to critically analyze the ideological meanings in Tjahjandari's statement and explore its impact on public perception and educational policy in Indonesia. The study uses Fairclough's CDA framework to analyze the linguistic features in textual analysis level, production and distribution processes in discursive strategy, and broader social contexts of the statement. Data collection includes the statement's transcript, media reports, and public responses. Textual analysis reveals the use of technical and institutional language that aligns with neoliberal ideologies, lead to describe higher education as an optional, market-driven pursuit. Discursive practice analysis shows the statement's wide media dissemination and critical public interpretation that suggest a perceived shift away from viewing higher education as a public good. Social practice analysis indicates that the statement supports hegemonic processes that commodify education and reduce the state's role in ensuring access. The study concludes that Tjahjandari's statement reflects and constructs ideological meanings that devalue higher education's societal importance and impact its accessibility. Public reactions highlight a demand for more equitable and inclusive educational policies. This research contributes to understanding the role of governmental discourse in shaping educational policy and societal attitudes, advocating for policies that support broader access to higher education.

Abstract

This study is comparing women’s betrayal in two novels, Wild Swans a novel by Jung Chang and the Patience Stone a novel by Atiq Rahimi. The fact that Chinese’ women and Afghan women’s share the common issue, that is patriarchal one, the former faces the superior communist party, whilst, the latter faces the Mullah, the influential spiritual leader. Then, the women’s betrayal is worthy of analysis. The word ‘betrayal’ turns out to have a positive connotation instead of a negative one as heard in everyday life. Using descriptive and dramatic method, the study finds that both women in both novels have similarities and differences in their betrayal seen from the way they speak as well as act. In the similarities, both women betray the powerful people and their husbands, whilst, the differences are that people in power refer to the political parties in Wild Swans, a novel by Jung Chang, to the Mullah, a religious leader in the Patience Stone, a novel by Atiq Rahimi besides the husband is loyal to the political party in Wild Swans and to the religious teaching in the Patience Stone. Eventually, comparing women’s betrayal is worth a study since their betrayal gives a new life concept that women should play important roles in society not just men.
