Abstract

This research looks at two poems of Emily Dickinson which are “I Measure Every Grief I Meet” and “I like a look of Agony”. The goal of this research is to show different views on grief and agony as mental pains in order to gain a better understanding of the two poems. The writer applies New Criticism approach and uses comparative method in order to get evidences that are needed. The text focuses on pointing out different views on grief or mental pain through attitudes of the speakers in each poem by analyzing the two poems stanza-by-stanza. This paper affirms that even though the two poems have same theme which are grief and agony or mental pain, the attitude of each speaker towards these issues is significantly different. In "I Measure Every Grief I Meet", the speaker shows that they are full of compassion in observing their surroundings, they show sympathy and concern on people's feeling. The speaker admits that find comfort in knowing others also feel grief as they do but they do not see it as something beneficial to them so that they can take advantage from those who are in grief or experiencing physical pain. In "I Like a Look of Agony", the speaker is being harsh and selfish because they do not care of the condition of those who are in agony. The speaker shows no sympathy but the fact that this is something that benefits them so that they can find comfort in witnessing the agony of others.

Abstract

This article discusses David Malouf’s novel entitled An Imaginary Life from an eco-critical perspective. It examines certain symbols from nature that appear in the novel during the journey of Ovid, the main character, in the exile. The data is collected by applying library research methods. Primary data are all symbols from nature related to Ovid’s journey and the formation of his new identity in the exile. Meanwhile, the secondary data are all information from books and articles related with archetypal symbols and criticism. The result of analysis is presented by the descriptive method. The analysis results in two conclusions. Firstly, nature that is presented as wild at the beginning of the story turns into a home for the main character at the end of the story. Secondly, nature, represented by some symbols, evidently plays an important role in making Ovid embrace his new life and forms new identity apart from his past life as a famous poet back in Rome.

Abstract

This article discusses the problems faced by women and their dignity to survive in the domination of a patriarchal cultural environment. This study uses prescriptive criticism from Cheri Register to analyze three short stories by Qaisra Shahraz entitled Zemindar's Wife, A Pair of Jeans and The Elopement. The concept of prescriptive criticism from Cheri Register has four criteria that supposed to be found in literary works, namely serves as a forum for women, helps to achieve cultural androgyny, provides role-models, promotes health and augment consciousness-raising systems. The results showed that the main female characters; Noor, Miriam and Rubiya can survive in the dominant patriarchal culture with the dignity to resist in the patriarchal culture. These three stories successfully covered four prescriptive criteria by Register and can be classified as feminist stories.
