| Summary: | This thesis analyzes Arnold Arre graphic novel Martial Law Babies using Soledad Reyes Romance Model and some ideas from Jean Baudrillards postmodern theories on hyperreality. The study seeks to identify what makes Martial Law Babies a counter text to Martial Law literature in the Philippines. It achieves this by using the romance mode to identify what the simplistic plot and characters are trying to say about Philippine society. The graphic novel is able to give this commentary by showing its reader a representation of reality. This study seeks to analyze that reality and come up with the meaning and message behind it. |
