Shin, Deogyong, “The Study on Hopelessness Depicted in The Bell Jar.” Modern Studies in English Language & Literature 68.1 (2024): 125-43. This paper is to examine ‘hopelessness’ in Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar offering a detailed analysis of the negative life events contributing to protagonist Esther Greenwood's profound despair. Negative life events which Esther had experienced occurred in circumstance beyond her control and affected her mental health in a negative way, ultimately leading to her suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Focusing on three themes, ‘failed relationship with male characters; unfulfilled aspiration and gender role; and hopelessness and suicide attempt,’ the paper employs a thematic analysis approach, trying to provide a holistic understanding of Esther’s hopelessness in her mental state. Three themes are interconnected and intensify Esther’s hopelessness and multidimensional portrayal of despair. The implications highlight the study's contribution to literature, enriching our understanding of Plath's exploration of psychological and societal factors in Esther's emotional journey.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze Richard Wright’s Native Son and Chang-rae Lee’s Native Speaker from the perspective of Giorgio Agamben’s political philosophy. These two novels have been commonly known as Bildungsroman in which the main characters experience racial conflict and find their identities through mental or emotional transformation obtained in their relationships with the surrounding society. Through their work, Richard Wright has revealed the tragic problems of racial discrimination caused by White community and explored the hardships which African-Americans had suffered in many ways, exposing the negative consequences of the discrimination to the public. If two previous novels by black writers concentrated on shedding light on the negative effects and destructive aspects caused by racial prejudice, such as the impossibility of identity building and of identity searching, during the time when racism was more overt and systematic, Chang-rae Lee’s novel has excluded many elements of racial discrimination based on skin color throughout the story. The precedent studies on these works, as above, have focused on the problems of identity experienced by people of color and immigrants: the ‘absence’ of humanity, the ‘exclusion’ from society, and the challenge of finding identity shown by the cultural ‘hybridity’.
