Sibling Incest in Tabitha Suzuma’s Forbidden and Kate Avelynn’s Flawed
No full textThis study purposely appoints the topic of sibling incest as reacted from the phenomenon of proliferation of illicit relationships that are increasingly being shown blatantly especially in social media. Through literary works such as novel, the phenomenon can be analyzed since those works are the portrayal of real life. ‘Forbidden’ by Tabitha Suzuma and ‘Flawed’ by Kate Avelynn were analyzed with three objectives; 1) describing sibling incest in both novels, 2) finding out the causing factors, 3) describing the impact toward the characters’ life. To achieve those objectives, the concept of incest, theory of psychoanalysis by Karen Horney and theory of comparative literature were applied. While in analyzing the data, it used interpretive perspective with author-oriented approach which concerns with psychoanalytic criticism. The results of this study reveal that the sibling incest in the two novels is different in type although the offenders’ composition is the same, incest between older brother and younger sister. ‘Forbidden’ shows non-abusive incest since it is done on mutual willingness which is motivated by affection, while ‘Flawed’ shows abusive incest since it is done forcefully by the older brother against his sister which is motivated by affection, eroticism, and aggression. The similar factors causing the sibling incest found in both novels are dysfunctional family and between ages peers, while the factor of Law of Homogamy is only found in ‘Forbidden’. Those factors do not cause the sibling incest just like the way without any influences of the characters’ psychological condition which is shaped by their childhood experience and neurotic needs. This study also reveals how sibling incest impacts the characters’ life. They suffer from psychological problems such as anxiety, self disgust, depression, self-destruction, self-blame, low self-esteem, and trauma. The enactment of incest taboo in their state also impacts them to self-isolation and prosecution. Evidently, this study reveals that any kinds of sibling incest with any reasons behind it lead into bad impact and dark phase of the offenders’ life.

Expressions of Oppression or Power? Reconsidering the Texts of Hannah Webster Foster and Tabitha Gilman Tenney
No full textHannah Webster Foster and Tabitha Gilman Tenney were early American novelists writing in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Each author wrote a sentimental novel and a traditional conduct book. The Coquette and The Boarding School by Foster and Female Quixotism and The New Pleasing Instructor by Tenney, have scarcely been understood in relation to each other. This project attempts to view these texts as in the eighteenth-century society might have.
The introductory chapter identifies the problem with the typical feminist critical reading. It also explores many of the popular genres of literature during the eighteenth-century. Included are explorations of the sentimental novel, advice or conduct books, and epistolary novels.
Chapter II explores Hannah Foster\u27s The Boarding School and The Coquette in relation to one another, and Chapter III does much the same with Tenney\u27s The New Pleasing Instructor and Female Quixotism. National concerns, social constrictions, and political history are each explored in relation to the works.
This paper also disputes the interpretations of several feminist literary critics, such as Cathy Davidson, Walter Wenska and Kristie Hamilton. These writers feel that Tenney\u27s and Foster\u27s works are expressions of oppression. To challenge this argument, much of the history and social mores embedded in the eighteenth century are discussed
Fallen Creator and Failed Christ: An Exploration of Religious Imagery and Metafiction in Ian McEwan’s Atonement
No full textThis paper examines the religious imagery in Atonement by Ian McEwan through a close reading of the structure and main characters Briony, Cecilia and Robbie. The novel is deeply concerned with questions of sin and redemption, which intersect with religious symbolism and metafiction to create the story. This paper reads Briony as both a creator god and a failed Christ figure and Cecilia and Robbie as Adam and Eve characters, showing the text’s self-awareness through its use of narrative to create meaning. It argues that the field of religious studies offers many theories and terms that enrich the field of literary analysis, such as ritual, sacred vs. profane space and time, and creature consciousness, all exhibited in Atonement. Finally, the paper explores the relationship between literature and religion’s meaning-making myth, all of which parallel the Judeo-Christian tradition
