Abstract
The application of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to Ana Huang's Twisted Love is examined in this study, with an emphasis on how language shapes gender relations, power dynamics, and emotional vulnerabilities in the story. Discourse analysis may be found in Twisted Love, a modern romance novel that explores issues of emotional pain, personal development, and complicated relationships. The study examines how deeper socio-cultural factors, like patriarchal influences and power disparities in love relationships, are revealed through the protagonists' conversations and internal monologues through the lens of CDA. The study looks at how language reflects cultural norms of forgiveness and love, negotiates conflict, and develops an identity. This study clarifies the underlying ideologies present in the narrative by examining textual components such as metaphors, pronoun usage, and conversational patterns. This helps readers have a better understanding of how contemporary romantic novels address important societal concerns. The goal of this work is to increase knowledge of narrative discourse as a means of both promoting and questioning social norms. This paper address the following research questions: 1. How do the language and discourse in Twisted Love portray the power dynamics in romantic relationships? 2. How does gender ideology impact the way Alex Volkov and Ava Chen communicate? 3. Thirdly, how does the protagonists' emotional and relational growth impact the trauma discourse? 4. How can Critical Discourse Analysis reveal the novel's rhetorical and structural ideologies?
