Abstract

We live in a popular culture where depression has become a thing that is almost sought after. Thus, we all struggle with an obstacle of life: going through mundane lives with empty souls in a hopeless, dark place. Speaking of desperate places, Room (2010), a novel written by Emma Donoghue, attempts to answer how captivating life in a world of pressure provides no alternative options but committing suicide or escaping. Emma Donoghue, an Irish-Canadian author, was born on 24 October 1969, living in an English society where mental health problems such as depression carried public attention.

Abstract

This article explores Kate Chopin's contribution to shaping the concept of the New Woman, which significantly influenced the development of American literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Against the backdrop of the post-Civil War era in the United States, marked by social changes and the growing women’s emancipation movement, this study examines how Chopin, through her seminal works The Awakening and The Story of an Hour, presents a discourse on women’s individual freedom and resistance to traditional gender norms. The analysis employs the framework of the New Woman, introduced by Sarah Grand, to highlight Chopin’s ideas about women’s autonomy over their lives and emotions. The article concludes that Chopin’s works played a pivotal role in creating narratives that reject gender constraints, assert personal identity, and demand emotional independence, all of which became foundational to feminist literature. Thus, Chopin is recognized not only as a pioneer of the New Woman in American literature but also as a visionary who continues to influence how literature portrays women’s freedom and experiences.

This study uses New Criticism as an approach to analyze the characterization and plot of the story and therefore examines how Coraline’s personality is affected by the different parenting styles between the real parents and the 'other parents'. Therefore, the method used in this study is descriptive-qualitative. The results of this study found that the personality of Coraline was formed because of parenting styles from her parents and Coraline's emotions change depending on what her parents gave.

Abstract

This study examines how Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reflects Victorian anxieties surrounding misuse of scientific discoveries. The novels follow Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected physician who creates a potion to unleash his darker self in the form of the monstrous Edward Hyde. Using a historical-biographical approach and qualitative analysis, this study draws on primary data from novels supported by secondary sources including literary criticism and journal articles. The findings reveal that Stevenson addresses Victorian fears of unchecked scientific progress through Dr. Jekyll’s experiments, the societal reactions to Mr. Hyde and the depiction of Jekyll’s hubris, which ultimately highlight the era’s concerns about the ethical limits of science.

Abstract

This study examines the accuracy of translating English coordinating conjunctions into Indonesian in the novel Animal Farm. The aim of the research is to analyze the translation techniques used for these conjunctions and evaluate the accuracy of the English sentences containing them. A qualitative approach is employed, with data drawn from the English version of Animal Farm and its Indonesian translation, Republik Hewan. The researcher uses Newmark’s theory to identify the translation procedures and Nababan’s theory to assess translation accuracy. The results indicate that 78% of the data are translated using a literal procedure, while 22% employ a reduction translation procedure. In terms of accuracy, 57% of the data are considered accurate, 13% less accurate, and 8% inaccurate. The accuracy level appears to be influenced by the translation of coordinating conjunctions as well as other sentence components.
