“…Barthes considered romance as a text open to various interpretations, and the reader has an important role in creating the meaning of the romance (Jadoon et al, 2020). On the other hand, romance is a literary form that allows the author to explore the stream of consciousness of the characters, highlighting their interiority and psychology (Barros-Del Río, 2022). Romance is a narrative literary form that allows the author to explore deeper characters, conflicts, and themes in a longer story.…”

Repetitive language style in romance literary works is not only used to create aesthetic effects, but also creates emotional and intellectual resonance that enriches the reading experience. This study aims to analyze the meaning of repetition language style in the romance Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. The research uses descriptive qualitative method with semantic analysis approach. The analysis revealed that anaphora is the most dominant language style used, with the amount of data reaching 40.74%, followed by epistrophe around 31.48%, and polysyndeton 27.78% of data. Meanwhile, the meaning of repetition language style includes strengthening the character's feelings towards the world, providing structure and rhythm to the story, creating nuances and deep emotions.

Unspeakable Injuries and Neoliberal Subjectivities in Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends and Normal People

This chapter draws on care ethics and vulnerability theory to explore Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends (2017) and Normal People (2018) as novels that delve into contexts of silence and dysfunction in the lives of Irish millennials who experience their vulnerability as unspeakable, as a sign of weakness and abnormality in a competitive, individualistic world. The analysis details the ways in which Rooney’s characters adopt strategies such as passing, concealment and ironic distance, and how their anxieties highlight the injustices and contradictions of their neoliberal culture. This chapter ultimately argues that, even though in both novels plot events foreground the lies, omissions and frustrations of dysfunctional silences, a silence of refusal progressively emerges whereby Rooney’s protagonists evade social expectations, abandon previous pretences and begin to establish a more honest and caring relationship with their significant others.
