Abstract:

Human being has different emotions within themselves, like sadness, happiness, upset and including guilt which can come from various causes. Uncontrolled guilt can be one of the causes of someone experienced madness, which then has a bad impact on themselves and other parties because this emotion of madness can lead someone to act beyond the reason. Guilt and madness can be found in the behavior of someone who is experiencing a bad psychological condition on the daily life.

Abstract:

This article explores the representation of guilt in six recent young adult novels, in which it is suggested that teen protagonists still experience guilt in relation to their emerging non-normative sexual identities. The experience of guilt may take several different forms, but all dealt with here are characterised by guilt without agency – that is, the protagonist has not deliberately said or done anything to cause harm to another. In a first pair of novels, guilt is depicted as a consequence of internalised homophobia, with which protagonists must at least partly identify. In a second group

   In the 2010s, Danish literature triggered heated debates about the relationship between artistic freedom, defamation, responsibility, guilt and shame, and initiated negotiations of collective norms and values in connection with testimonies in autobiographical fiction.

Abstract:

Abstract How can we be moved by the fate of Anna Karenina? By asking this question, Colin Radford introduced the paradox of fiction, or the problem that we are often emotionally moved by characters and events which we know don’t really exist (1975). A puzzling element of these emotions that always resurfaced within discussions on the paradox is the fact that, although these emotions feel real to the people who have them, their difference from ›real‹ emotions is that they cannot motivate us to perform any actions. The idea that actions towards fictional particulars are impossible still underlie

Abstract:Reconstruction is considered as a comprehensive transformation of one’s attitude with respect to one’s ego; one’s action; the object of guilt and the temporal-existential experience.

Anyway, guilt is a part of self-conscious emotions that the individual involves for the sake of self-evaluation. It is developed when the person feels that he doesn’

Both true-crime books and crime-fiction novels, together with the ballet, are modified by socio cultural factors and are also subject to intertextuality.

Abstract This essay explores the concept of liberal guilt in William Dean Howells’s fiction, focusing especially on his 1888 novel Annie Kilburn.

I provide a summary of theoretical positions on liberal guilt as a structure of feeling that entails what Richard Rorty calls “doubt about [one’s] own sensitivity to the pain and humiliation of others, doubt that

This study examines the use of guilt-tripping as a form of psychological manipulation in Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Employing McPhillips’ (2022) theoretical framework on manipulative behavior, the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with a focus on character and narrative analysis. The findings reveal that the primary motivations for guilt-tripping include emotional dependency, a desire to manipulate and control others, and under

Abstract:

In classic mystery fiction, criminality is represented at the level of the individual, with a heavy emphasis placed on the moral culpability and guilt of the singular criminal. These retributivist representations are often burdened by a neglect of institutional and structural causes for criminal behaviour. By emphasising individual ‘evil’ and guilt, they have the potential to be read as whitewashing carcerality and systemic inequality. In Native American crime fiction, on the other hand, the individualisation of criminality has a very different value: laying bare the history of settler vigilan

Non-fiction literature has become the crucial historical drama of the present, with its power to change the fate of the state and its interpretations.

It is characteristic of the current era, in which real wars of history develop, and fiction causes the need for non-fiction looking for explanations, facts and illuminating shadowed destruction of the State and still dark turns of Lithuania’s historical path.

The only redemption of their otherness is showing their humanity. For a cyborg, its technological provenance is a burden and results in its sense of guilt.

Monsters and the idea of monstrosity are central tenets of Gothic fiction.

However, this physically threatening monster evolved, in later manifestations of the genre, into a more psychological, mind-threatening being and, thus, werewolves were left behind in exchange for psychological fear.

Desire is a specific subject of research in many areas, including literary studies and text analysis.

Shorter psychological fiction – novellas and short stories – depend on the authors’ mastery of language use, while the formal textual length is limited.

The argument is that these two films use the figure of the heroic, technologically enhanced, white disabled veteran man to alleviate cultural anxieties, fears, and guilt about veterans and disabled people in the contemporary United States. In doing so, however, Avatar and Source Code perpetuate a disability hierarchy that reinforces a variety of oppressive cultural norms. The article, therefore, demonstrates how the films reflect the differential valuation and treatment of dif

Abstract:

Do you have the right, or even the obligation, to disobey laws that you find personally unjust? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, John, a retired music teacher who fled to Canada during the Vietnam War, grapples with his past choices as he plays taps at the funeral of a homeless veteran. Through his reflections and encounters, including a conversation with the veteran's sister and a rereading of Plato's "Crito," John confronts his guilt and seeks redemption for the sacrifices he didn't make. The story delves into themes of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring impact of war on tho

Abstract:

Hans-Ulrich Treichel is a German contemporary writer born in the Western part of the then divided Germany. The research paper primarily deals with his trilogy which constitutes Lost (Der Verlorene) (1998), A Man’s Flight (Menschenflug) (2005) and Anatolin (Anatolin) (2008). In his trilogy, he addresses memory and trauma of the flight and expulsion of the Germans which he claims to be significantly absent from the German post-war literary land scape. Therefore, Treichels’s Lost (1998) is considered as a ground-breaking novel which brings the long-repressed German personal memory into the German

Abstract:

The path that the Latvian normative regulation in criminal law and the Latvian criminal law doctrine took to arrive at the possibility of turning against legal entities by criminal law measures was neither fast nor simple. The initial position was that regulation like this would be incompatible with the basic principles of Latvian criminal law since, historically, psychological understanding of guilt has been characteristic in the Latvian criminal law, guilt is identified with a person's mental attitude towards the criminal offence, and guilt also is one of the grounds for criminal liability.

Abstract:

The paper aims to investigate J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace and Slow Man in terms of cosmopolitan concepts of shame, imaginative sympathy and its limits. Coetzee’s novels encourage a ‘distinctive individualism’ which reflects the insufficiency of shame, guilt and sympathy as indicative of cosmopolitan philosophy. In this regard, a selective theoretical approach is adopted, which suggest that Coetzee’s fiction is significant and promotes a faith-driven association between the cosmopolitan subject and the ‘other’. The presence of others in his novels makes it cosmopolitan, even though the central subj

Abstract:

The film Downfall, released in 2004 at the height of an unprecedented "Hitler wave," has to be seen in a long tradition of literary and cinematic attempts to deal with Germany's "unmasterable past." The filmmakers claimed that by focusing on Hitler's final days before the end of WWII they had discovered "new territory" and presented the "facts behind the guilt." This article points out, however, that the film is historiographically based on the account by Joachim Fest's book Downfall-in which the author, as in his earlier work, follows a methodological approach that personalizes history and fo

Writing has long been related to communicating emotional experiences. One of these experiences is war, and the Vietnam War was a long brutal struggle divided into two periods. The first is called the good Vietnam War, covering the years from 1964 to 1968. The second spanned from 1968 to 1972, known as the bad Vietnam War, through which fighting turned into guerilla war. Battles of the second phase were characterized by savage killings of soldiers and mass murder of unarmed civilian Vietnamese. This bad war inspired many literary narratives in drama, fiction, and poetry. Tim O’Brien’s The Thing

Crime fiction scholarship increasingly focuses on trauma in contemporary crime narratives but has largely neglected to investigate perpetrator trauma. This article contributes to filling this gap by exploring perpetrator trauma in We Hunt Together (2020), a British television crime series written by Gaby Hull, that portrays the consequences of perpetrator trauma on a former child soldier from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Babeni (Baba) Lenga, waiting for permanent residency in the UK.

Firstly, the stories of individual female scientists living long ago are analysed (Mileva Einstein, Joan Clarke), then, the collective female protagonists – wives of scientists living together in “togethervilles” (Los Alamos, Atomic City), and women scientists pictured in speculative fiction – are discusse

Abstract This article examines the contemporary phenomenon of fiction and film about Holocaust survivors suffering from dementia. Earlier examples of this kind use dementia to explore the interior states of survivor guilt and the suppression of painful memories. By contrast, twenty-first-century representations convey the passing on of Holocaust memory to the next generation. These individuals, in the role of offspring or carers, act as the investigators and inheritors of a history that either has vanished from the survivor’s memory or appears in the present as if it were still taking place.

This Existential struggle to establish one’s identity, to assert one’s individuality and the desperate fight to exist as a separate entity appears in all its intensity in the novels of Anita Desai. Desai revealed the confrontation of man with himself and the question of his existence. The characters of Desai are alienated and lonely; existentialists, strangers and outsiders to their own land, try to search out their own identity, and always suffer from the gui
