Abstract

This research examines the dynamics of domestic violence (KDRT) and Lily Bloom's escape from a violent relationship in the novel It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Based on Lenore Walker's cycle of violence theory, this research analyzes how Lily experiences repeated violence from her husband, Ryle Kincaid. Research findings show that the domestic violence experienced by Lily follows a cyclical pattern consisting of three phases; (1) Tension-Building, characterized by increasing tension in Lily and Ryle's relationship because small fights, disagreements and frustration become the initial trigger. (2) Acute Violence Phase, which is the peak of the cycle of violence, where Ryle commits acts of physical violence against Lily. (3) Reconciliation Phase which shows Ryle's regret and apology.

Abstract

This study explores the portrayal of social classes in the film Snowpiercer (2013) through the lenses of Karl Marx's and Guy Standing’s theories. Social class, defined as groupings of individuals based on shared wealth and status within a societal hierarchy, serves as the central focus. The analysis draws on dialogue and visual imagery from the film to explore how these classes are depicted and their interactions examined. The bourgeoisie, represented by the elite, salariat, and proficians, wield significant power and privilege within the train's stratified society. In contrast, the proletariat—comprising the working class, precariat, unemployed, and detached—is marginalized, enduring harsh conditions and limited access to resources. This analysis underscores the film's exploration of social class, highlighting themes of inequality and the human condition in a dystopian setting. Future research could further enrich understanding by exploring alternative theoretical frameworks and comparative analyses across different media and genres. Keywords: social class, contributing factors, inequality, wealth, resources.
