  • Chapter Iii Analysis
    I s n a i n i | 21 CHAPTER III ANALYSIS The focus of this chapter is to answer all the statement of the problem in chapter one. This chapter is divided into two parts. First, this research analyzes the character of Andy Dufresne. Second, this research analyzes types and also the way how Andy Dufresne has undergone his defense mechanism by Sigmund Freud in Stephen King‟s Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption novel. The types of defense mechanism that are used by the major character Andy Dufresne, there are six types that the researcher found in Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption novel. Each type will be analyzed by using Sigmund Freud‟s defense mechanism theories. It is includes the types, and how the main character perform the defense mechanism itself. 3.1 Character of Andy Dufresne Characters in work of fiction are generally designed to open up or explore certain aspects of human experience. Characters often depict particular traits of human nature; they may represent only one or two traits – a greedy old man who has forgotten how to care about others, for instance, or they may represent very complex conflicts, values and emotions. Likewise, Knickerbocker and Reninger explain that the nature and use of characters in any story are determined by the purpose of the author (18). digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id I s n a i n i | 22 In similar views, a narrator may be external, outside the story, telling it with an ostensibly objective and omniscient voice; or a narrator may be a character (or characters) within the story, telling the story in the first person (either central characters or observer characters, bit players looking in on the scene).

  • Shawshank Redemption
    THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION by Frank Darabont Based upon the story Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King 1 INT -- CABIN -- NIGHT (1946) A dark, empty room. The door bursts open. A MAN and WOMAN enter, drunk and giggling, horny as hell. No sooner is the door shut than they're all over each other, ripping at clothes, pawing at flesh, mouths locked together. He gropes for a lamp, tries to turn it on, knocks it over instead. Hell with it. He's got more urgent things to do, like getting her blouse open and his hands on her breasts. She arches, moaning, fumbling with his fly. He slams her against the wall, ripping her skirt. We hear fabric tear. He enters her right then and there, roughly, up against the wall. She cries out, hitting her head against the wall but not caring, grinding against him, clawing his back, shivering with the sensations running through her. He carries her across the room with her legs wrapped around him. They fall onto the bed. CAMERA PULLS BACK, exiting through the window, traveling smoothly outside... 2 EXT -- CABIN -- NIGHT (1946) 2 ...to reveal the bungalow, remote in a wooded area, the lovers' cries spilling into the night... ...and we drift down a wooded path, the sounds of rutting passion growing fainter, mingling now with the night sounds of crickets and hoot owls... ...and we begin to hear FAINT MUSIC in the woods, tinny and incongruous, and still we keep PULLING BACK until... ...a car is revealed. A 1946 Plymouth. Parked in a clearing.

    English Language Teaching; Vol. 13, No. 5; 2020 ISSN 1916-4742 E-ISSN 1916-4750 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education An Interpretation of Influences of Institutionalization on the Fate of Characters in “The Shawshank Redemption” Yuan-yuan Peng1 1 Tourism Department of Leshan Vocational & Technical College, China Correspondence: Yuan-yuan Peng, Tourism Department of Leshan Vocational & Technical College, Leshan, Sichuan, China. Received: March 2, 2020 Accepted: March 31, 2020 Online Published: April 9, 2020 doi: 10.5539/elt.v13n5p11 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v13n5p11 Abstract Institutionalization is mentioned over and over again in film “The Shawshank Redemption”. In this film, the institution refers to the fixed prison institution, and institutionalization refers to a process of rigidifying prisoners’ behaviors, thoughts and mindsets in some imperceptible constraint mechanisms. In this process, the prisoners are forced to change their original behaviors, thoughts and ideas, and begin to accept, get used to and even depend on the current situation little by little. As a result, they become obedient to such prison management. They don’t want or dare to change their realistic conditions, but have to depend on them for survival. The death of Brooks, pigeon Jake and Tommy, the fear of Red and the escape of Andy are all associated with institutionalization. In this paper, influences of institutionalization on the fate of characters in “The Shawshank Redemption” were analyzed. In addition, the wisdom of coping with and avoiding institutionalization was preliminarily analyzed. Keywords: institutionalization, anti-institutionalization, survival strategies 1. Connotations of institutionalization 1.1 What Is Institutionalization? To define institutionalization, Red has vividly described his personal experience of decades-long prison life in the film: "These walls are funny.

    Ways to Use VIA Character Strengths Tayyab Rashid, Ph.D., University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada Afroze Anjum, Psych.D, Toronto District School Board, Canada CORE VIRTUE: WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE acquisition and use of knowledge I. Curiosity [interest, novelty-seeking, openness to experience]: Curiosity is taking an interest in all of ongoing experience. It involves actively recognizing and pursuing challenging opportunities and seeking out new knowledge. Curiosity can be broken down into three categories: interest, novelty seeking, and openness to new experience. It is this strength that drives individuals to make discoveries and to explore the boundaries of human knowledge. Too much: prying, snooping Too little: boredom, disinterest, apathy Movies: Wondrous Oblivion (2003; UK) – The movie tells a compelling story of David, who is obsessed with cricket but struggles to play it well. Upon knowing that a neighbor is installing a cricket pitch in his backyard, David strikes a cordial relationship to learn and know more about the game. In America (2003) - This touching family movie depicts curiosity of an Irish immigrant family trying to settle in a chaotic New York apartment. Their curiosity is packed with challenges, dangers, weirdness, as well as hopes and charm of a place where anything could happen. October Sky (1999) – Homer Hickam, a child living in a coal mining town, seems to have no future outside of work in the mines. His curiosity is inspired by the launch of Sputnik, and with the help of some misfit friends he begins to build his own rockets. Though at first the townspeople see his passion as a waste of time, eventually they get a spot in the National Science Awards competition with a chance of winning the prize: a college scholarship.
