Abstract

The research is entitled The Representation of Angel in Women Characters on Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (An Analysis of Feminism Issues). It is a research that analyzes feminism issue of characters on a novel entitled Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. The characters of course focused on some characters who represent feminism issue, especially for the main woman character, Clarissa Dalloway. For analyzing feminism issue that presented by characters, the writer thinks that she needs the structure theory. Structuralism is the way of thinking of the world especially related to perception and description of structure. One of the structure theories is actantial model. The writer decided to uses the actantial model developed by A.J Greimas. The actantial model is a tool that can theoretically be used to analyze any real or thematized action but particularly those depicted in literary texts or images. In the actantial model, an action may be broken down into six components, called actants, those are subject, object, helper, opponent, sender, and receiver. To explore this research, the writer also uses an approach of feminist literary criticism. Feminist literary criticism can reveal many subordination and oppression of women. It is the way that empowers point of view of women and rejects the patriarchal language that has dominated on the novel. The writer feels that feminism is an interesting issue to be analyzed because the story of women is never ending. There are still a lot of problems, realize or not. In fact, some women do not realize that their liberation is limited by cultural construction. Women are marginalized in some conditions those are pre marriage, marriage and post marriage. In those conditions, women become an inferior and men become a superior. It also happens in women characters of Mrs. Dalloway. They could not explore their self as free as men. Most of them spend their time in their house and become an angel for her family. They must keep their beauty to make their husband always loving them. The other horrible thing is when women get a label as madwomen if they have a behavior radically different to what expected socially. Actually a marriage is not a problem if there is equality between men and women. There must be fair for the both of them. There is no a superior. “The right person” who becomes husband/wife is the answer. However it is not easy to make two peoples who became strangers previously must live together. It must be a rule to control it. Of course, the result of the rule is limitation of liberation. Keywords: Novel, Characters, Actants, Feminist Literary Criticism, and Feminism.
