Analysis of Emotion in Short Story of Joy By Zadie Smith
The aims of this research are to find out the kind of emotions in the
short story of Joy by Zadie Smith, focusing on eight key emotions: joy, anxiety,
gratitude, pleasure, nostalgia, surprise, confusion and despair. Using Daniel
Chandler’s structuralism theory, the study looks at how the story’s structure
and language shape the way these emotions are presented. Stephanie Smith’s
theory of emotion supports the analysis by explaining how emotions are
closely linked to identity and memory. These two theories are connected in
the analysis, showing how identifying types of emotion also requires
attention to the structural patterns within the text. Through a qualitative
approach, the research shows that joy in the story is not a simple feeling but
is mixed with pain and deep reflection. The findings reveal that emotion plays
a key role in shaping the characters and giving the story its depth, offering
insight into the complex nature of human emotion in modern literature.
