Abstract

This study not only investigates the concept of ambition in literature but also underscores its transformative impact on human existence. By adopting a descriptive qualitative approach and drawing data from the characters' dialogues in "The Kite Runner," the research unveils the nuanced dynamics of ambition and guilt redemption. Amir, a central character in the novel, emerges as a dynamic individual, navigating through a complex terrain of personal growth and evolving aspirations. His struggles and shifts in personality are intricately woven into the narrative, highlighting the profound influence of ambition on the human psyche. Furthermore, the study sheds light on the intricate interplay between Amir's sense of guilt and his subsequent ambitions. It becomes evident that his guilt serves as a catalyst for a series of ambitious pursuits aimed at redemption. This intricate web of emotions and aspirations not only propels the narrative forward but also unveils the profound ways in which literature can mirror and dissect the human experience. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between ambition and the moral dimensions of human existence, offering insights into the transformative power of aspirations in navigating the complexities of guilt and redemption in literary contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the speaking strategies of Indonesian Literature Department students, and to analyze prohibited speech acts in Indonesian Bugis Makassar dialect for students. This research is a quantitative descriptive research with pragmatic studies. The data source in this research is students from the Department of Indonesian Literature, Hasanuddin University, from the Bugis-Makassar tribe. Data was obtained through distributing questionnaires to respondents. The research results show that the speaker/partner is older and more  familiar. The most widely used strategies are STT, SKN, SSS, SKP. The speakers/interlocutors are older and less familiar, SKN, STT, SSS, and SKP. Younger and more familiar speakers, STT, SKN, SSS, and SKP. Younger and less familiar speakers, STT, SKN, SSS, SKP. If the speakers are the same age and are not familiar, STT, SSS, SKN, and SKP and if the speakers are the same age and are not familiar, STT, SKN, SSS, SKP. However, the strategy of younger and unfamiliar partners and speakers of the same age who are not familiar are still considered impolite or low in politeness, resulting in a shift in norms because the strategy most often used by teenagers in expressing something is the strategy of being frank without further ado so that the speaker loses face and this makes his politeness low.

Abstract

Long day's Journey into Night (Pulitzer Prize 1957) was Eugene O’Neill’s greatest autobiographical play in which he skillfully conveys through the members of his family a painful realistic portrait that reveals the strained familial relationships he experienced with his family during his youth. The play represents a day in the life of the Tyrones, which begins at 8:30 in the morning on James Tyrone's (the father) farm in August 1912 and ends in the last hours of the same day. It is a metaphorical, psychological, gradual, desperate journey that all the Tyrones take into the night (towards their personal problems) to explore the uttermost depth of familial relationship through their mutual accusations and blaming each other until they are separated by the darkness of their problems which isolate them from each other urging them to escape from their miserable and tragic reality by taking drugs, drinking and prostitutes. Escapism is one of the main themes of the play that is seen and justified by the depression, hostility and tension experienced by the four characters of the Tyrones family. They are unable to face their life's problems and they only get blame and mutual accusations from each other without the expected family attention and sympathy among them. The paper is an attempt to investigate the different motivations of the Tyrones for escaping from their bitter reality and the means used to do so.
