Fanaticism Reflected by Cath Avery’s Character in The Novel Fangirl

2025-02-02T13:08:39+00:00

This study examines fanaticism as reflected in the characters of Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl, focusing on fanatical behavior and its underlying factors. Using a psychological approach to literary analysis, the study applies theories of fanaticism along with Freud’s motivation theory, to analyze the mental and emotional processes of the characters, particularly Cath Avery as a devoted fan of Simon Snow. The analysis reveals that fanaticism in the novel is characterized by obsessive attachment, emotional investment, and actions driven by an idealized perception of fictional narratives. Psychological needs such as escapism, validation, and identity formation significantly contribute to this behavior, while subconscious desires and past experiences further shape the characters’ deep devotion. These findings offer insights into the psychological foundations of fanaticism in literature, illustrating how fictional works influence individual behavior and motivation. This study enhances the understanding of the intersection between psychology and literature, emphasizing how literary characters reflect real-life psychological tendencies.

This study examines the use of lexical reiteration in the academic writing of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at Gorontalo State University. Lexical reiteration, encompassing repetition, synonyms and near-synonyms, superordinates, and general words, is crucial for maintaining cohesion and coherence in texts. Using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion theory, this research analyzes various academic texts produced by fifth-semester students. The findings reveal that repetition is the most frequently used type of reiteration, followed by synonyms and near-synonyms, general words, and superordinates. However, a major issue identified is the excessive reliance on repetition, resulting in monotonous writing. This problem stems from a limited academic vocabulary and inadequate knowledge of cohesive devices. As a result, students struggle to create well-structured and engaging academic texts. This study highlights the need for expanding vocabulary and improving students’ understanding of lexical cohesion to enhance their writing quality. By addressing these challenges, educators can help students develop more varied and effective academic writing skills. These findings contribute to discussions on improving EFL students’ writing proficiency, particularly in terms of lexical cohesion and coherence.
