Abstract

This study aims to reveal the type of anxiety experienced by the protagonist and her defense mechanisms against the anxiety in John Green’s novel The Fault in Our Star. The causes of anxiety can be seen for the first time when Hazel is diagnosed with thyroid cancer. That situation results in a big impact on people around her, especially her parents' boyfriends. They get worried that she will hurt the people around her. This study uses the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud to explain the protagonist's type of anxiety and her defense mechanisms to get rid of the anxiety. In completing the analysis, this study applies the qualitative research method because the data collected in this study are in the form of words as quotations taken from the source. The results of this study indicate that the first protagonist's anxiety is caused by feeling guilty, overthinking, and worrying about keeping an eye out for the future. Therefore, two types of anxiety can be found in the novel. They are moral and realistic anxieties. Then, the protagonist commits two defense mechanisms to avoid her anxiety. They are rationalization and reaction formation. Finally, this data proves that the protagonist in the novel suffers from anxiety, and she tries hard to cure the disease.

Abstract

The research is concerned with women's movements portrayed in Mommy Asf’s novel Layangan Putus. It objectively finds and discusses a mother's individual movements through transcendence to upholster her existence, particularly in an attempt to overcome and improve herself even without a husband's support, as shown by Kinan, the main female character in the novel. The fact that a woman is always marginalized based on social reality, especially a woman,  becomes the background of the study. The research is conducted using the descriptive-qualitative method proposed by Creswell. The theory applied in this research is the sexist feminist theory proposed by Simone de Beauvoir. The finding concerns the woman's movements described in the novel using Beauvoir's existentialist feminism. The results show that Kinan,  as the main female character,  can overcome and improve herself in life, as evidenced by the four transcendences of Beauvoir's theory to uphold her existence as a manifestation of Owen's movements: Kinan is able to work, become intellectual, achieve social transformation, and refuse the role of otherness

Abstract

The research deals with an analysis of conflict in Jennifer Lee's movie script, Frozen I, focusing on two topics, the types of conflict and exposing the causes of the conflict.  The researchers apply the theory of conflict proposed by Sayuti and Whitfield. This study uses the qualitative method, and the data are analyzed descriptively. Based on the research analysis, the researchers find three results. First, the Frozen I movie script by Jennifer Lee illustrates conflicts and their causes. Second, there are two kinds of conflict in this movie script: internal and external conflict. Internal conflict contains character vs self-conflict. It can be seen in Elsa’s inner turmoil over the power she has, in Elsa's struggle to control her power, and in Elsa's struggle to lower her ego and not hurting the people she loves and the people of Arandelle. External conflict contains character vs character and character vs society. Third, the causes of conflict can be seen when Elsa hurts Anna, when Elsa’s parents die, and when Elsa's power is exposed.
