In this study, a critical analysis of one of Stephen King’s most well-known novels, Rage, is taken into consideration. A psychological thriller is what you will find in Rage. There is a school shooting depicted in the novel that is based on actual incidents that took place in secondary schools throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The psychology of school children and the conditions in which they find themselves are also discussed in this essay. The plot revolves around a troubled high school student who struggles with issues of authority and who commits murder against one of his teachers while also holding the majority of his classmates captive. While Charlie Decker is in the midst of a protracted, stressful, and exhausting warm evening, he discusses what led him to this dramatic series of acts. At the same time, he is examining the identities of his peers and asking each of them to defend their own lives. Surprisingly, this book is linked to a number of incidents involving shootings at top universities. There was one such incident that resulted in the deaths of three classmates and the injuries of five more. A teenager named Michael Carneal’s closet serves as the setting for the tale. In this particular instance, Rage was responsible for the sixth high school shooting. As a result, the purpose of this research is to investigate the causes and consequences of the novel as well as the shootings that occurred in real life that are linked to it.

This comparative study delves into the postmodern elements embedded within Orhan Pamuk’s ‘Snow’ and Manju Kapur’s ‘Difficult Daughters’. By employing a comparative framework, this analysis aims to elucidate the divergent and convergent manifestations of postmodernism in these literary works. Through a thematic exploration and stylistic examination, the study dissects the narrative techniques, metafictional devices, cultural contexts, and socio-political underpinnings prevalent in both novels. By scrutinizing the distinct approaches of Pamuk and Kapur towards postmodern storytelling, this research endeavors to offer nuanced insights into how these celebrated authors engage with and reinterpret postmodernism within their respective cultural landscapes.

This scholarly investigation critically examines the nuanced challenges confronted by women in contemporary urban landscapes within the contextual framework of India. The study undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the ubiquitous discrimination encountered by women that extends beyond socioeconomic demarcations. The spectrum of challenges encompasses intricacies, such as economic disparages, societal norms, gender-based violence, and the overarching phenomenon denoted as the ‘feminization of poverty’.Within the purview of feminist analysis, this examination accentuates the imperative of recognizing and understanding the intersectionality inherent in the challenges confronting women in urban environments. The study underscores the interwoven nature of diverse forms of discrimination, shedding light on the complex interplay of factors that contribute to the perpetuation of gender-based disparities in urban settings. The socioeconomic underpinnings of discrimination are discerned through an exploration of economic disparities prevalent in urban spaces. This inquiry delves into the systemic barriers that impede women’s access to economic opportunities and financial resources, elucidating how such disparities contribute to the perpetuation of gender-based inequalities. Societal norms, as a focal point of analysis, are interrogated for their role in reinforcing discriminatory practices against women. The study scrutinizes the prevailing cultural and social norms that perpetuate gender roles and expectations, elucidating their impact on shaping the experiences of women in urban contexts. A paramount consideration in this analysis is the examination of gender-based violence as a pervasive manifestation of discrimination within urban settings. The research delves into the various forms of violence inflicted upon women, ranging from physical and psychological abuse to systemic and institutionalized forms of gender-based discrimination. Through this exploration, the study elucidates the deleterious effects of such violence on the overall well-being and agency of women in urban environments. The concept of the feminization of poverty is critically evaluated as a theoretical framework that encapsulates the gendered dimensions of poverty prevalent among women in urban locales. This examination contextualizes the multifaceted ways in which poverty disproportionately affects women, delineating the intricate relationship between economic deprivation and gender-based disparities. This academic endeavor therefore underscores the necessity of adopting a feminist lens to comprehensively analyze and address the challenges faced by women in contemporary urban settings in India. By highlighting the intersectionality of these challenges, the study seeks to contribute to an enhanced understanding of the complex dynamics that underscore women’s experiences in urban environments.

The issues based on caste, gender, and religion have been imprinted upon the medium of art. The canvas of literature has many a time laid focus on the discrimination based on caste. This theme has been etched in different hues. The subject of being dominated, discriminated, and the stigma attached to it has been justified by the individual ideologies of Dalit and Non-Dalit writers. But in this prominent autobiographical work titled Government Brahmana, by Arvind Malagatti there is a different perspective is presented. Dalit autobiographies speak about the rampant practices of intolerance towards Dalits and have significantly impacted society, In a step ahead, Arvind Malagatti Dalitatva is the literature that has the flow of Dalit consciousness throughout. This autobiography Government Brahmana speaks about various sagas the writer witnessed in different stages of life. In the beginning, he justifies the title Government Brahmana by considering the benefits given by the government to Dalits in comparison to the ideology of Brahmanism which was in practice from Sanatana Dharma. Later he draws the attention of readers by revealing how his name was misinterpreted in school and a variety of punishments imposed on him. He also writes about the ways in which the society marginalized the people belonging to his community in the name of untouchables. His writings not only interpret the chaos of marginalization but also reflect the consciousness of constructing his identity in tackling the hurdles. This apparently resulted in oppression and alienation after the country became sovereign. Apart from this, he has been able to contemplate his narrative style using his special dialect to withstand the interest of readers in the original text. It is good to know that the same has been achieved in the translational work by translators.

Mahesh Dattani’s themes highlight the problems that so many urban people face on a daily basis. These individuals may be living in historical transitions, torn between the alluring modernism and globalisation and the firm grasp of tradition and societal values. Skilled playwright and theatre professional Dattani discovers the problem, develops characters, and employs time, place, and the stage all in service of the subject he addresses. Indian urbanites of today make up the characters on stage. They work with socio-cultural tensions as their issues, and expressionism is his method. This article explains the patriarchy of these individuals in Final Solutions of Mahesh Dattani.

This paper explores Alka Joshi’s novel The Secret Keeper of Jaipur, the sequel to her bestselling debut, The Henna Artist. Set in 1969, the narrative unfolds the complexities of Indian society via the lens of its brilliant characters, focusing on themes of affection, betrayal, social hierarchy, and the quest for personal independence. By delving into the novel’s wealthy thematic cloth, man or woman improvement, and portrayal of historic and cultural settings, this takes a look at pursuits to find how Joshi weaves a tale that is both a mirror to societal norms and a window to the person’s aspirations.

"In the exploration of post-colonial literature, Tayeb Saleh's 'Season of Migration to the North' and Frantz Fanon's 'Black Skin, White Masks' emerge as pivotal works that intricately dissect the complex interplay between identity and colonialism. Both authors delve into the psychological ramifications of colonial histories on individual identities, unraveling the multifaceted layers of the post-colonial experience. The themes of identity and colonialism in Tayeb Salih's "Season of Migration to the North" through the lens of Frantz Fanon's seminal work, "Black Skin, White Masks." By examining the experiences of the protagonist, Mustafa Sa'eed, who returns to Sudan after studying in England, the essay delves into the complex ways in which colonial encounters shape individual identity. Drawing on Fanon's theories, particularly the concepts of double consciousness and the psychological effects of colonization, the analysis sheds light on the psychological and cultural impact of the colonial experience on Sa'eed and other characters in the novel. This article investigates the idea of cultural hybridity and the ambivalence that arises from navigating multiple cultural influences. Moreover, it explores the gender dynamics present in both works, emphasizing the power imbalances and objectification of women within the colonial context. Through a comparative analysis, the article seeks to highlight the characters' struggles for authentic selfhood and the broader implications of their experiences in a post-colonial world. Ultimately, this exploration provides insights into the enduring relevance of these themes and the intricate interplay between identity and colonialism in literature. The present article seeks to examine the nuanced ways in which Saleh's narrative and Fanon's psychoanalytic insights intersect, offering a profound understanding of the profound impact of colonialism on the construction and negotiation of identity in a post-colonial world." Tayeb Salih's novel, Season of Migration to the North, delves into the intricate relationships that exist between colonialism and identity in post-colonial Sudan. In close resemblance to Frantz Fanon's groundbreaking work Black Skin, White Masks, the article explores the novel's complex concerns of identity building, cultural hybridity, and the psychological effects of colonialism in African literature. By their audacious writings, Fanon and Salih both transformed the postcolonial African landscape. Using a postcolonial perspective, this study investigates how the story's characters navigate their cultural heritage and sense of self in the years after colonial domination.
"在对后殖民文学的探索中，塔耶布-萨利赫（Tayeb Saleh）的《向北方迁徙的季节》和弗朗茨-法农（Frantz Fanon）的《黑皮肤，白面具》作为关键作品，对身份认同与殖民主义之间复杂的相互作用进行了复杂的剖析。两位作家都深入探讨了殖民历史对个人身份的心理影响，揭示了后殖民经历的多层面性。通过弗朗茨-法农的开创性著作《黑皮肤，白面具》的视角，探讨了塔耶布-萨利赫的《向北方迁徙的季节》中的身份认同和殖民主义主题。通过研究主人公穆斯塔法-萨义德（Mustafa Sa'eed）在英国学习后返回苏丹的经历，文章深入探讨了殖民遭遇塑造个人身份的复杂方式。文章借鉴法农的理论，特别是双重意识和殖民化心理影响的概念，分析了殖民经历对萨伊德和小说中其他人物的心理和文化影响。本文探讨了文化混杂的概念以及在多重文化影响中产生的矛盾心理。此外，文章还探讨了两部作品中的性别动态，强调了殖民背景下的权力失衡和女性物化。通过比较分析，文章试图突出人物为真正的自我身份而进行的斗争，以及她们的经历在后殖民世界中的广泛影响。最终，这一探讨为这些主题的持久相关性以及文学作品中身份认同与殖民主义之间错综复杂的相互作用提供了启示。本文试图研究萨利赫的叙事与法农的精神分析见解交织在一起的细微方式，从而深刻理解殖民主义对后殖民地世界身份构建和协商的深远影响"。Tayeb Salih 的小说《向北迁徙的季节》深入探讨了后殖民时期苏丹殖民主义与身份认同之间错综复杂的关系。与弗朗茨-法农（Frantz Fanon）的开创性著作《黑皮肤，白面具》（Black Skin, White Masks）十分相似，文章探讨了小说中对非洲文学中身份建立、文化混杂性和殖民主义心理影响的复杂关注。法农和萨利赫的大胆写作改变了后殖民时期非洲的面貌。本研究采用后殖民视角，探讨了故事中的人物在殖民统治后的岁月里如何驾驭他们的文化遗产和自我意识。

Vocabulary plays an important role in language learning because it is the basis for mastering the language, especially for non-native speakers. Students face challenges in mastering vocabulary in Malay. This study aims to determine the level of vocabulary mastery in learning Malay among non-native speakers. This study involved a total of 254 students from 10 secondary schools in the Pudu and Bangsar areas of Kuala Lumpur through purposive sampling. Research findings were analyzed using SPSS software version 27.0. The findings of the study show that overall, the level of vocabulary mastery is moderate except that the verb group is high and the adjective group is low among non-native speakers. This study suggests that the aspect of vocabulary teaching should be given attention in Teaching and Learning activities starting from primary school.
