Abstract

This thesis is an analysis of a play written by Katherine Thomson entitled Diving for Pearls (2012). This analysis looks at benevolent sexism that is experienced by women who are victims of benevolent sexism acts. And also shows the actions of women's agency carried out by women to get out of the limited space they receive in their environment and also to be able to change their lives for the better. This analysis related to the feminist approach and the concept of benevolent sexism by Glick and Fiske and women agency by Buttler. The aim of this analysis is to what extent the character, conflict (plot), setting and stage direction contribute to reveal the issue of benevolent sexism and women agency. This analysis also depends a lot on the narrator to determine which parts of the play are used as the data. The result of the study shows that the woman experienced benevolent sexism such as always being considered weak, unable to take responsibility for herself, unable to protect herself and must always be protected, and not solving her own problems. However, Barbara shows the desire and belief that she has rights and is able to change her life for the better with her own abilities.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to examine the adverse childhood that the protagonist of Toni Morrison's book "God Help the Child" had to deal with. There is evidence that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can cause anxiety and depression. In this case, adolescents are more likely to feel anxiety and depression. This is the result of an adolescent having a mental health issue. . Adversity in adolescents has a significant impact on short and long-term outcomes. Since she was a child, the character has gone through harsh experiences. Felitti's theory of adverse childhood (2018) is relevant to this analysis. This theory is based on how the text has been interpreted and how the novel is being read. Through the use of quotations in the book, information is gathered. Sentences and paragraphs make up the data that was gathered. The results of the study show that the characters who face adverse childhood experiences can be seen through: (1) the main character has different skin colors at birth from his parents so that his parents do not accept him, (2) the main character gets various treatments that lead to the adverse childhood experiences he gets from their environment and parents. Therefore, the various bad treatment received by the main character is the main issue of adverse childhood experiences in the novel.
