<![CDATA[This study investigates the psychological dimensions of the main character in the film Shadow and Bone using Bernhardt’s (1953) theory of human motivation. The analysis focuses on five key motivational categories: organic needs, desire, emotions as motives, feelings and attitudes as motives, and social motives. Through qualitative descriptive methods, 24 instances of psychological motivation were identified from the film. The findings indicate that desire-related motivations (33.3%) and organic needs (29.1%) are most dominant in shaping the character of Alina, the protagonist. These motivations are closely tied to Alina’s experiences of personal conflict, social rejection, and emotional struggle, which drive her actions and development throughout the narrative. The study highlights how cinematic characters can serve as complex psychological representations, enriching narrative depth and enhancing audience empathy. This research contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse between psychology, literature, and film studies, emphasizing the importance of psychological realism in character construction.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the psychological dimensions of human behavior as depicted in the film All Is Lost, directed by J.C. Chandor. Focusing on the main character, the research aims to examine behavioral patterns and uncover underlying psychological aspects presented throughout the narrative. The analysis is based on Sigmund Freud’s Semium (2006) theory of defense mechanisms and personality structure, as well as Anna Freud’s (1936) elaboration on defense mechanisms. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through careful observation of scenes and note-taking techniques. The findings reveal four distinct psychological aspects portrayed by the protagonist, with the survival instinct emerging as the most dominant. This study highlights how cinematic representation can reflect complex psychological processes in extreme conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the diverse types of characters depicted in The Adam Project movie using the characterization frameworks proposed by Nurgiyantoro (2010) and Pope (2005). Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies and categorizes six main characters-Adam Reed, young Adam Reed, Laura Shane, Louis Reed, Ellie Reed, and Maya Sorian-based on their roles and character traits. The findings reveal that protagonist characters dominate the film, followed by various character types such as major, minor, simple, dynamic, round, static, and antagonist roles. Each character’s classification is supported by specific scenes and dialogue extracted from the film and its transcript. The study demonstrates how character types contribute significantly to narrative development and provides a framework for analyzing character roles in cinematic storytelling. This analysis is expected to enhance understanding of character construction in film studies and serve as a reference for future character-based literary research.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes the use of figurative language in Adele’s album 30 and Avril Lavigne’s album The Best Damn Thing. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the types of figurative language found in each song of both albums, and (2) to analyze the most dominantly used figurative language in each album and interpret its meaning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using all songs from the two albums as data sources. The findings reveal that Adele’s 30 features eight types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, metonymy, symbol, paradox, hyperbole, and understatement. In contrast, Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing contains four types: simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Hyperbole emerges as the most dominantly used figurative language in both albums. These findings suggest that hyperbolic expressions play a central role in conveying emotional intensity and artistic expression in contemporary pop music.]]>

<![CDATA[The meaning of hate speech in social media can shift because the way people use social media is constantly changing, and the social and political context in which social media is used can also change. This study aims to analyze hate speech comments on Instagram and the meaning and relevance of the implicature to forensic linguistics. This research employs a qualitative approach to collect and analyze the meaning of hate speech. The research data was obtained from Instagram through hashtag searches. The main findings of this study indicate that hate speech on social media tends to avoid direct vulgar linguistic forms and instead relies on implicit language strategies to convey negative sentiments towards individuals or groups. There is widespread use of diminutives such as “bocah” or “bocil,” social stigmatization such as “ndeso” and “bau kencur,” and institutional euphemisms such as “makkamah keluarga,” all of which are important linguistic indicators in the analysis of political hatred in the digital space. The intensity classification shows that hate speech with moderate and severe intensity does not only come from explicit insults but also from narratives that normalize harassment based on age, appearance, and political affiliation. The implications of this study indicate that a forensic linguistic approach is very effective in uncovering forms of hate speech disguised through language strategies such as sarcasm, stereotypes, and euphemisms. Theoretically, these findings enrich the study of pragmatic linguistics and speech acts by showing the importance of implicature analysis in detecting non-explicit hate intentions.]]>
