Abstract

This research is an analysis that discusses the hysteria experienced by Simon, one of the main characters in the Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton: The Duke and I. The discussion is divided into four parts, namely how the symptoms of hysteria are, what are the causes of hysteria, how is the impact of hysteria, and how Simon deals with his hysteria. In conducting this analysis, psychoanalytic theory is applied as a literary approach that focuses on Sigmund Freud's Theory of Hysteria. This theory serves as a reference in conducting this research. The results of the analysis which showed that Simon experienced hysteria made Simon experience several symptoms, such as symptoms of Reminiscence, namely remembering the remaining memories of certain events. Avoidance, which is avoiding something that can make him stutter. Emotional Attacks, namely feeling emotions that make him gloomy and irritable. Sensory Motor Symptoms, namely disturbances in stuttering speech and Somatic symptoms, namely symptoms that cannot be explained by medical causes. The causes found in the novel are wrong emotional training in parenting, failure, curses received and unpleasant events in the past. So that it can be explained from the causes above that it has an impact such as changes in looking at the meaning of life like, Simon who only wanted to live to hate his father, that he would not marry and have children so that one day the heir to the Duke of Hastings would die with him. In the course of his life, Simon faced his hysteria in his own way. That is by breaking all the oaths he took to take revenge against his father.

Abstract

Women are frequently treated as second-class in patriarchal societies, which it eventually leads to feminist movements. There are various schools of feminism, such as liberal feminism, Marxist and socialist feminism, existentialist feminism, radical feminism, and so on. The focus of this study is on existentialist feminism exposed in Elizabeth Acevedo's With the Fire on High (2019). This study examines the domestication of women depicted in Emoni Santiago’s character and Emoni Santiago’s ways embrace her conditions and existing as a woman in the novel. To analyse Emoni’s appearance as a real woman who can exist, Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism is applied. This study is a descriptive qualitative research that applies a feminist approach. The result shows that the domestication of women reflects in pregnancy, mothering, and cooking activity of Emoni Santiago. She can work in domestic and public spheres as her efforts to embrace women’s destiny, history, and myth. She also becomes an intellectual woman who is good at cooking because she is talented and creative. She also can play a significant role in the Culinary Arts program and become the transformative agent that can persuade her community that women can exist without being limited by women's conditions. She reflects existentialist feminism because she can do tasks in domestic and public spheres. She manages to become a woman who is not dependent and subordinate to men in terms of economics, life choices, and marriage. All how Emoni Santiago's existence can appear are called the transcendence of women in today's life. According to Simone de Beauvoir, women's lives today can transcend all boundaries by doing a state of transcendence. Women can go beyond being equal to men through 4 tactics - women can work, become intellectuals, and play roles that make them transformative agents and independent. By achieving a state of transcendence, Emoni can eradicate woman labels such as second sex, the Other, and the weaker. From the result of the analysis, the writer finds out that women can exist as real women by doing transcendence.
