Abstract

This study explores the psychological complexity of the main character in Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde through the lens of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, particularly the structure of personality comprising the id, ego, and superego. Set against the backdrop of the morally rigid Victorian era, the novel portrays the internal conflict experienced by Dr. Jekyll, who, driven by the pressures of societal expectations, conducts a dangerous experiment that leads to his transformation into the immoral and impulsive Mr. Hyde. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies how Dr. Jekyll’s actions embody each aspect of Freud’s personality model: the id is manifested in Hyde’s unrestrained behavior, the ego in Jekyll’s attempts to mediate between his desires and social norms, and the superego in the moral judgment and guilt that eventually lead to his psychological breakdown. The findings reveal that the novel not only illustrates a case of dissociative identity but also offers a profound depiction of the human psyche’s internal struggle for balance between instinct, reason, and morality.

Abstract

This study investigates anxiety levels among male and female students enrolled in a Diploma in English program at the tertiary level, focusing on three key factors which are communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The findings reveal that both genders experience anxiety to a similar extent. Male and female students experience anxiety from all three factors. Interview data further clarify similarities and differences in the aspects of these factors that cause anxiety. Implications for educators include the necessity of creating supportive, non-judgmental learning environments and implementing targeted interventions, such as additional grammar support for male students and stress management activities for female students. Future research should consider larger, more diverse samples and explore the impact of different teaching methods and technological tools on reducing language learning anxiety. This study contributes to the field by highlighting the importance of addressing anxiety to enhance ESL learners' academic success and overall well-being.

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the subjectivity of The Naked Traveler 8 Novel by Trinity. Trinity’ Novel describes the eighty-eight-long journey that has been visited. The act of traveling can be conceptualized as a dynamic interplay between the dimensions of space and time, a perspective articulated by Trinity through the medium of travel writing. In order to analyze the data, the researchers employed the theory of travel writing proposed by Carl Thomson in his 2011 book Travel Writing. Furthermore, the concepts employed in this book draw upon Reporting the World, Revealing the Self, and Representing the Other. In summary, the study's findings indicate the presence of a self-revelation of Trinity's identity as an autobiographical travel writer in the novel, thereby emphasizing the subjective nature of her narrative. Moreover, the author narrates herself as an inferior eastern nation and a superior western nation.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the translation of cultural humor in Murder Mystery (2019) and Murder Mystery 2 (2023), and to investigate how cultural equivalence is achieved in Indonesian subtitles by applying Raphaelson West’s Cultural Humor and Eugene Nida's Cultural Equivalence Theory. This research employed a qualitative method. Documentation technique is used for data collection, where data was collected from the dialogue and subtitles of both films, focusing on subtitles that contain cultural humor. The findings show that most cultural humor in films undergoes a change in form or loses its comedic effect in Indonesian translation due to cultural differences between the original speakers and the target audience, as well as limitations in subtitle space and time. Furthermore, several translation strategies are used, including literal translation, transference, cultural equivalent, and adaptation. However, not all strategies are able to preserve the comedic effect to the fullest extent. As a result, this research highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity and creativity on the part of translators in producing translations that are accurate in meaning and convey humorous elements to the target audience.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze the types of figurative language found in the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, and to examine the translation methods used in the Indonesian version of the lyrics. The study applies the theory of figurative language by M.H. Abrams and the translation methods by Peter Newmark. The researcher uses a qualitative method, with data collected from the original English lyrics and their Indonesian translations on the BlinkBox Music website. The analysis focuses on five selected songs from the album, chosen purposively based on the richness of figurative expressions. The findings indicate that hyperbole appears most frequently, followed by personification, simile, metaphor, and others. Regarding the translation methods, literal translation is the most commonly used, followed by semantic, communicative, and then both faithful and free translation, which occur with equal frequency. The study concludes that the translator tends to preserve the original structure and meaning, but at times adapts expressions to be more culturally acceptable or emotionally resonant for Indonesian audiences.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze how machine translation tools, such as Google Translate and DeepL, translate religious terms on the Indonesia Travel website, a tourism platform rich in cultural and religious elements. This research employed a qualitative method, examining 10 Indonesian English articles and identifying 15 representative religious terms based on AlGhamdi's (2016) classification. The term is translated using both Google Translate and DeepL, and the results are analyzed using Newmark's (1988) translation procedure framework. The findings showed that both machines apply six procedures in handling religious terms, with transference and recognized translation being the most frequently used. However, there are differences in how Google Translate and DeepL strike a balance between accuracy and readability. Google Translate simplifies translations, improving accessibility but risking the loss of cultural nuance. In contrast, Google Translate preserves more of the religious and cultural depth, although this can reduce clarity for general readers. In conclusion, while both machines are effective in handling recognized religious terms, Google Translate is considered more effective for the Indonesia Travel website, as it delivers more transparent and more accessible translations for global audiences. However, post-editing is still recommended to ensure that translations are both accurate and readable.

Abstract

Natsu Hyuuga’s novel The Apothecary Diaries Volume 1, portrays the lives of harem women confined within the patriarchal structure of the imperial court, where beauty functions as the main determinant of their value and survival. The purpose of this research is to examine how women’s beauty is narrated as an object for male characters and how the narration transforms this beauty into an erotic spectacle that exploits and oppress them. This research, using qualitative textual analysis and Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze theory, the research shows that women’s beauty in the novel is consistently constructed through male-centered desire. Female characters are described through only their appearances such as clothing, hair, skin, and body while their opinion is silenced, reducing them as visual objects. Furthermore, the narration employs aestheticizes language, symbols and metaphors that eroticizes women into spectacles of desire. However, this eroticization of women functions as a form of exploitation, as women are valued primarily for their beauty and usefulness, then discarded once they lose their functions. These mechanisms reduce women to commodities, exchanged and manipulated to maintain patriarchal authority. In conclusion, beauty in the novel operates as a fragile tool that offers temporary recognition but simultaneously exploits women, reinforcing patriarchal power and restricting their autonomy.
