Abstract

Readers frequently use the term "happy ending" to describe the pleasant resolution that the main characters achieve.  In the romance genre itself, happy endings are frequently linked to stories in which the protagonist finds happiness through marriage to their loving partner. Readers of romance stories frequently expect a happy ending due to the expanding concept of happy endings and their frequent usage in romance genre works. Thus, the aim of this research is to examine how readers perceive happy endings, particularly in Jang Jin's manhwa Devil Number 4. This study used a qualitative method, combining the reader response approach and Stuart Hall's concept of Encode/Decode to analyze the research. It was discovered that the author of this work emphasized that the best ending for the side characters is self-acceptance, and that happiness necessitates significant sacrifice for both the main characters and the side couple. Moreover, eight out of ten participants in this study fall into the dominant-hegemonic reader category, one into the negotiated reader category, as well as one into the oppositional reader category.  Based on this research, it can be said that the majority of Devil Number 4 readers are able to comprehend Jang Jin's message of a happy ending which is a sacrifice in order to achieve happiness.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how digital escape through K-pop serves as a coping mechanism for young adult women facing stress and personal challenges. Using content analysis and in-depth interviews with five female participants aged 20 to 25, this study focuses on individual experiences in accessing K-pop content, interacting in online communities, and developing hobbies related to K-pop, such as fan art and fan fiction. This research employs Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory as its theoretical framework, with an emphasis on the levels of love and belonging and self-esteem. The findings reveal that engagement in the K-pop world provides a safe and supportive space for participants to express themselves, build their identities, and receive emotional support online. This study highlights how popular culture and the digital context can function as significant coping mechanisms in the daily lives of young adult women. This study contributes to contemporary cultural studies and psychology by demonstrating that the K-pop world can serve as an alternative space for fulfilling the emotional and psychological needs of young adult women.

Abstract

This research examines instances of corporate rivalry depicted in the film Ford v Ferrari (2019) and analyzes its impact on the competing automotive companies and the film's main protagonists. The study employs a qualitative interpretive film analysis design, utilizing M.H. Abrams' expressive literary criticism theory to examine the film's authored choices in relation to historical context, while Porter's Five Forces framework serves as the analytical lens for identifying and evaluating competitive dynamics. Primary data consist of timestamped scenes, dialogue excerpts, and screenshots from the film, collected through systematic observation and supplemented by historical documentation. The analysis reveals how corporate rivalry progresses throughout the film, primarily from Ford Motor Company's perspective, through identified competitive forces including threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products, and bargaining power of suppliers and buyers. Findings demonstrate that the rivalry not only shaped the future trajectories, historical legacies, and competitive positions of both companies but also profoundly impacted the personal and professional lives of protagonists Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby during and after the depicted events. The study contributes to the intersection of literary criticism and strategic management by demonstrating how cinematic narratives can serve as pedagogical sites for understanding corporate competitive action sequences.

Abstract

This study examines Emily Dickinson’s poem The Soul Selects Her Society through a Freudian psychoanalytic lens, with particular focus on the portrayal of identity. Using Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche, the id, ego, and superego, this research investigates how the soul’s selective withdrawal functions as a defense mechanism for preserving selfhood. The analysis interprets the poem not as a mere act of social retreat but as a conscious assertion of individuality, in which the ego regulates instinctual desires and resists external pressures. Findings reveal that the soul’s rejection of societal appeals reflects the ego’s effort to maintain psychological boundaries, safeguard authenticity, and establish identity. Connections to Dickinson’s reclusive lifestyle and poetic style further demonstrate how her personal life resonates with this act of inward loyalty. Ultimately, the poem emerges as a literary articulation of the psyche’s negotiation of selfhood, showing identity as an active construction achieved through autonomy, resistance, and self-protection.

Abstract

This study explores the altruistic qualities of Posey, the main character in Mitch Albom’s novel For One More Day, focusing on her voluntary and intentional behaviors as expressions of altruism. Altruism is defined as selfless concern for the welfare of others, often manifested without expectation of reward. Using qualitative methods and character analysis, this study examines Posey’s acts of sacrifice, emotional support, and moral guidance, specifically in her relationship with her son, Charley Benetto. Her behaviors—from defending her son against unfair judgment to creating lasting emotional bonds—are voluntary and intentional, reflecting a deep commitment to the welfare of others. In conclusion, this study confirms that altruism in the literature can be explained by consistent and intentional actions that prioritize the needs of others over personal gain.
