Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of denotative and connotative meanings in the song “Speechless” by Naomi Scott. The researcher discusses how literal and emotional meanings are expressed through the lyrics and how these meanings support the message of the song. This study uses a qualitative method with content analysis design. The researcher found a total of 31 data in the lyrics that contain denotative and connotative meanings. The analysis also reveals three main messages in the song: the song reflects rebellion, showing how someone refuses to stay quiet when treated unfairly. Second, it expresses resilience by highlighting the strength to keep going and not give up, even when facing pressure. Third, it describes freedom through the courage to speak out and be true to oneself without fear. Based on the analysis, the researcher hopes this research can help readers understand how song lyrics can carry deeper meanings beyond their literal words. This study also shows how analyzing denotative and connotative meanings can lead to a better appreciation of the messages behind a song.

Abstract

This paper examines exile in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Admiring Silence as the afterlife of slow violence. Existing readings have largely emphasized silence, diasporic identity, and postcolonial memory while giving less attention to the material conditions that sustain estrangement. Drawing primarily on Rob Nixon’s concept of slow violence, the study uses qualitative close reading to trace how ecological deterioration, infrastructural failure, social insecurity, and cultural displacement gradually weaken Zanzibar as a material, civic, and cultural ground of belonging. The analysis then follows how these accumulated pressures enter the narrator’s inner life as pain, racial misrecognition, fabrication, mimicry, silence, and unbelonging. The findings show that exile begins before physical departure and persists because damage associated with home continues across time and space. These findings connect environmental and social attrition to fractured diasporic subjectivity. At the same time, Admiring Silence does not offer complete restoration. Its final movement imagines a limited and unfinished form of postcolonial repair through critical distancing from imperial narratives, return to a damaged homeland, and practical reconnection with local survival, especially work surrounding water and infrastructure. This reading extends slow violence beyond ecological harm by showing how delayed material damage can shape identity, memory, and the difficult possibility of repair.

Abstract

This study investigates the character arc of Harry Potter in the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, utilizing Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory to analyze his internal conflicts. The specific aims of this research include: (1) characterizing Harry Potter's portrayal within the film, (2) analyzing the ways in which the Freudian constructs of the id, ego, and superego are mirrored in his psychological maturation, and (3) detailing the processes by which Harry addresses and overcomes his internal struggles. A qualitative methodology, specifically content analysis, was employed, with particular attention paid to strategically selected key scenes from the cinematic narrative. The analysis reveals Harry's portrayal as a dynamic character, demonstrating a clear trajectory of development from vulnerability and impulsiveness to resilience and maturity. His psychological trajectory aligns with Freud's structural model of the psyche: the id is prominently active during his early experiences of fear and anger, yet the ego and superego progressively assume control, facilitating a move toward psychological equilibrium. Significantly, Harry resolves his internal conflicts by directly confronting fear and undergoing a crucial transition from dependence on others to cultivating self-reliance. This development culminates in his successful mastery of the Patronus charm, an emblematic symbol of his burgeoning resilience.
