The Analysis of The Characters in Denis Lehane’s Novel Shutter Island (Supervised by Raden SM. Assagaf and Agustinus Ruruk Lilak) This research aims to explain the characterization of Shutter Island. Shutter Island is one of Dennis Lehane’s works which get reward New York Time Best Seller and adaptation to be a movie with the same name in 2010. It makes the author get international award. This research also explains on how the main character’s internal conflict influence his performance in the story. This study uses a structuralism approach. It is a method that focuses on intrinsic elements of a novel like character, plot, setting and theme. The main data are obtained from Shutter Island novel by reading every part of the novel and taking data that correspond to the discussed topic about character. Whereas, the other data are obtained from several sources of books and articles from internet and other sources that also take character analysis as the topic. This study shows how internal conflict of the main character may affect his action within a story. Internal conflict on the main character emerges as a result of his inability to save his family from a tragic death and as a defense mechanism to prevent him from feeling such pain of guilty. Consequently, this conflict changes his whole life. The main character starts to build a new character and a new story for him to play as his effort to forget his pasts. However, it just changes him into a dangerous person to his surrounding and people around him. There are some characters who help him to resurrect his true identity and past but his trauma prevents it. Instead, he keeps showing a regression every time he starts to remember his past that full of misery since he fails to save his family. iv Table of Content Tittle ........................................................................................................................

Scapegoats and Redemption on Shutter Island Abstract The themes of redemptive violence, scapegoating, and ritual in the films of Martin Scorsese have provided much grist for critical scholarship. While it is going too far to claim that Scorsese is intentionally interpreting Girardian themes (which are themselves borrowed from a rich mythological tradition), the comparisons between the theorist and the director are compelling. My goal here is to establish the primary themes of scapegoating, mimesis, the cycle of violence, and feuding identities that occur in both Girard’s works and Scorsese’s films and pull them forward into a more recent work of Scorsese, Shutter Island. Keywords Violence, Scapegoating, Ritual, Girard Author Notes Cari Myers received a BA in English Literature from Pepperdine University, an MA in Youth and Family Ministry from Abilene Christian University, and an MTS from Brite Divinity at Texas Christian University.

  • Space, Politics, and the Uncanny in Fiction and Social Movements
    MADNESS AS A WAY OF LIFE: SPACE, POLITICS AND THE UNCANNY IN FICTION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Justine Lutzel A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2013 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Gorsevski William Albertini © 2013 Justine Lutzel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Madness as a Way of Life examines T.V. Reed’s concept of politerature as a means to read fiction with a mind towards its utilization in social justice movements for the mentally ill. Through the lens of the Freudian uncanny, Johan Galtung’s three-tiered systems of violence, and Gaston Bachelard’s conception of spatiality, this dissertation examines four novels as case studies for a new way of reading the literature of madness. Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House unveils the accusation of female madness that lay at the heart of a woman’s dissatisfaction with domestic space in the 1950s, while Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island offers a more complicated illustration of both post-traumatic stress syndrome and post-partum depression. Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain and Curtis White’s America Magic Mountain challenge our socially- accepted dichotomy of reason and madness whereby their antagonists give up success in favor of isolation and illness. While these texts span chronology and geography, each can be read in a way that allows us to become more empathetic to the mentally ill and reduce stigma in order to effect change.
