Comparative literature involves comparing, analysing and understanding literary works to explore similarities, differences and influences in literature. Comparative literature can be found in song lyrics as a way to create a better understanding and convey the songwriter's feelings or thoughts to the listener. This research explores the similarities and differences in the use of hyperbole and metaphor in the top five songs from Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay. By conducting a comparative analysis of the lyrical content, this research aims to reveal how these two well-known bands use these literary devices to convey emotions and themes in their music. By using Reaske's figurative language theory and objective criticism approach. This research found that Arctic Monkeys songs often explore themes of romance, emotion, and burning desire, using hyperbole to dramatically amplify feelings, making their expressions more intense and vivid, for Coldplay lyrics often raise themes of longing, regret, and admiration. As for metaphors, both bands use metaphors extensively to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how literary techniques are used in songwriting across different genres and styles of music.Keywords: Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Comparative Literature, Figurative Language

This study undertakes a qualitative exploration of the principal characters' personality traits within the 2007 film Ratatouille. Specifically, it aims to delineate the primary character's personality profile and to identify the salient factors influencing the personality development of these central figures. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, primary data was derived from the film itself, focusing on the personalities of the main characters. Data analysis adhered to the framework proposed by Miles and Huberman. Findings indicate that the character of Linguini exhibits a constellation of personality traits including insecurity, shyness, timidity, and introversion. In contrast, Skinner is characterized by anger and ambition. Several factors contributed to the personality development of both Linguini and Skinner. Linguini's personality trajectory, marked by a transition from insecurity to confidence, is attributable to environmental and learning factors. Skinner, initially driven by anger and ambition, undergoes a transformation toward greed and vengefulness as a result of environmental pressures and unconscious motivations, ultimately culminating in a desire to usurp control of the restaurant
