Abstract
Equivalence, one of the most important procedures, has become a central issue in Translation Studies. This study compares the John Green’s the novel The Fault in Our Stars and the Vietnamese translation by Huy Hoang Nguyen to find out the types of equivalence. From an objective and subjective point of view, there is no unique type of equivalence in the Vietnamese Translation; it is a mixture because of the orientation of choosing the translator’s equivalences by the influence of cultural, linguistic differences, and the translator’s ability. Along with that, the study investigates the domestication and foreignization in achieving equivalence in Vietnamese version of the novel.

Authors: Md. Amir Hossain
Pages: 179-188
DOI: doi.org/10.32861/ellr.411.179.188
Abstract
The objective of this study is to focus on the investigation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Doris Lessing’s The Grass Is Singing in the perspective of alienation and feminism. It aims at examining mainly Shakespeare’s and Lessing’s treatment of women in the light of the social system of 16th -century England and 20th -century Africa, respectively. It proposes to incorporate a wide variety of related, but diverse and even contradictory elements, centering on the subject of gender, social, political, economic, and cultural issues, fragmentation of society, love and marriage, psychological conflict, divorce, and sexuality. Both Shakespeare’s and Lessing’s texts are analyzed within the parameters of these issues. It throws a new light on the critical comments made by critics, scholars, and reviewers with a view to analyzing the complex ramifications of the theory of alienation and feminism. It also attempts to examine outlooks, autobiographical elements, writing forms, similarities and differences in various phases of the two writers. In this way, it aims to prove a concluding remark that a symbiotic relationship of the theorists and the authors is not only self-perpetuating, but also important for the 21st -century English literature.
