The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on narrative excerpts, dialogues, and character actions that reflect the expressions of love between the protagonist, Ellie, and two male characters, Will and Dev. The findings reveal that Dev demonstrates stronger consistency in using supportive and meaningful love expressions, particularly through quality time and acts of service, which highlight his emotional investment and stability in the relationship. In contrast, Will is portrayed as more focused on physical touch and surface-level affirmations, suggesting a less emotionally grounded approach to love. These results show that the use of Chapmans theory provides valuable insights into how adolescent romance is represented in young adult literature. Furthermore, the study highlights how different love language preferences can reveal character depth, relational quality, and the dynamics of emotional intimacy in literary works.
This study explored the portrayal of romantic expressions in Hot British Boyfriend by Kristy Boyce through the lens of Gary Chapmans Five Love Languages framework.By categorizing romantic interactions between Ellie and two male characters, Dev and Will, into five distinct categories (Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch), the research revealed contrasting love styles that reflect emotional maturity, relational depth, and compatibility.The findings show that Dev consistently demonstrates emotionally affirming love languages, especially Quality Time and Words of Affirmation, suggesting his deeper emotional investment and compatibility with Ellie.Meanwhile, Will relies more heavily on Physical Touch and surface-level affirmations, implying a more performative and less emotionally grounded connection.These results reinforce the relevance of Chapmans theory as a tool for interpreting emotional dynamics in young adult literature.They also highlight how the frequency and type of love expressions can reflect underlying character traits and relational development.Beyond theoretical contribution, this study offers a practical implication.by understanding how love is communicated in fictional works, young readers may become more aware of their relational values and expectations.individuals possess distinct preferences in expressing love, and these differences are influenced by psychosocial and cultural backgrounds.By combining Chapmans Five Love Languages with theories of identity development, attachment, and social exchange, this research contributes a more comprehensive perspective on adolescent romance in literature.Future studies are encouraged to apply this model to multicultural narratives or compare male and female characters expressions of love to deepen the understanding of emotional literacy and relational psychology in adolescent fiction.
Based on the findings, future research could delve into the impact of love language preferences on character development and narrative outcomes. Exploring how different love languages influence the trajectory of relationships, character growth, and the overall narrative arc in young adult literature could offer valuable insights. Additionally, a comparative study analyzing the portrayal of love languages across diverse cultural contexts, especially in Western young adult literature, would provide a nuanced understanding of how cultural norms and values shape romantic expressions. Finally, investigating the interplay between love language preferences and character traits, such as personality, attachment styles, and social backgrounds, would contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of romantic dynamics in literature, offering a deeper exploration of the psychological and social factors that shape romantic relationships in fictional works.
