Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the portrayal of feminine slavery in "Redeeming Love," focusing onunderstanding the underlying motivations and social pressures that lead Sarah to prostitution. This study exploresthe social phenomena of women being enslaved as prostitutes and the motivations behind their choices, using themovie "Redeeming Love." The study follows a descriptive qualitative method to examine Sarah’s depiction as afeminine slave and her motivations by employing a context-oriented approach. The research utilizes Simone deBeauvoir’s theory of feminine slavery and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to analyze the experiences of the maincharacter, Sarah. The research process involved several steps: first, closely observing the movie; second, focusingon Sarah’s dialogue and actions to discern her depiction and motivations; third, selecting and interpreting dialoguesthat reflect the concept of feminine slavery and her reasons for engaging in prostitution. The findings revealthat Sarah’s experiences as a prostitute include both external and internal struggles, which align with Beauvoir’stheory of women’s objectification and devaluation by a patriarchal society. The external experience is how Sarahexperiences feminine slavery from societal views. The internal experience reflects how Sarah experiences feminineslavery from her personal views. Additionally, the study shows that Sarah, as the main female character, experiencessome unfulfilled needs that push her into prostitution. Sarah’s unfulfilled needs are physiological, psychological,esteem, and love-belonging needs. Her unfulfilled needs are caused by her illegitimate status as a child, herfather’s abandonment, her poverty, and her inability to meet basic needs due to combined unfulfilled needs. Theseunfulfilled needs caused her to live as a prostitute. In conclusion, this study provides new insights into the factorscontributing to female enslavement and the needs of women in a patriarchal society, enhancing our understandingof the intersection between women’s objectification and their basic and psychological needs.The purpose of this research is to analyze the portrayal of feminine slavery in "Redeeming Love," focusing onunderstanding the underlying motivations and social pressures that lead Sarah to prostitution.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of time in Joe Wright’s film ’Atonement’ (2007), exploring the complex ways cinema can portray temporal experiences. While time manipulation in the film has been widely studied, ’Atonement’ offers a unique case study in its intricate layering of temporal elements. The research aims to analyze how various cinematic techniques in ’Atonement’ contribute to its representation of time and memory. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method with semiotic analysis, this study examines five key aspects: non-linear narrative structure, dual perspective and metafiction, the long take in the Dunkirk scene, representation of historical periods, and the use of sound and music. The findings reveal that ’Atonement’ utilizes a sophisticated interplay of narrative, visual, and auditory elements to create a multifaceted temporal experience. The film’s non-linear structure, meticulous recreation of historical periods, and innovative sound design challenge traditional notions of cinematic time. This innovative approach effectively addresses the research aim by demonstrating how ’Atonement’ uses various cinematic techniques to construct a complex temporal narrative. This research contributes to understanding how cinema can represent complex temporal narratives, offering insights for film studies and narrative theory.

Abstract

Semantic analysis through the study of contextual meaning theory is a useful approach to examine the meaning of song lyrics in detail. This approach allows us to delve further into the layers of meaning implied behind the series of words contained in the lyrics to reveal aspects that may not be explicitly visible but are at the core of the communication between the songwriter and his audience. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of concepts such as happiness represented and communicated through poetic language in Taylor Swift’s songs. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method of relevant song lyrics and cognitive semantic studies used in analyzing data sourced from several Taylor Swift songs. The results of this study show that Taylor Swift uses conceptual metaphors and figurative meanings to describe happiness in love relationships. In the song "Lover," Taylor Swift uses metaphors of travel and freedom to express happiness in living their relationship. In "Call It What You Want," she uses light and endurance metaphors to convey the happiness gained from lasting love. In "Sweet Nothing," Swift uses the metaphor of physical manifestation to describe happiness in simple moments.

Abstract

English teacher’s personality competency in improving students’ English language skills at Unggul Cut Nyak Dhien High School, Langsa City, is quite good. However, although the teacher’s personality is good, namely attitude and learning methods, it still needs to be improved in terms of using innovative learning media according to current developments because the teacher’s attitude and personality greatly influence students’ interest in learning. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis uses Miles and Huberman’s theory through data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusions. The research results found that the personality competence of English teachers is very good, thereby increasing students’ competence in English; this can be seen through teacher discipline, good communication with students, fellow teachers, and the surrounding environment, and carrying out their duties as teachers well. The hope is that the results of this research can be used as a reading reference or increase knowledge.
