Abstract

What women experience is often considered a private domain. Consequently, women's voices are not given much attention and are taken for granted, even though women's experiences need to be voiced to create a more just world for all. This study explored how the anagnorisis plot twists in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” (1894) and Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter” (1953) create a room for the female characters, Mrs. Mallard and Mary Maloney to express their voices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and textual analysis, the study examined how anagnorisis plot twists serve as tools for women's voices to be heard. The study used three steps: identifying key dialogues and monologues, categorizing these elements, and interpreting them through Woolf's feminist perspective (1929) and the concept of anagnorisis plot twist. It is found that the anagnorisis plot twists in both stories construct a "room" where the main characters' needs and feelings can be expressed temporarily. The brief moments emphasize the women’s struggles against their husbands’ restraints, which reflect the patriarchal society. The stories imply that while women might claim their identities and voice their opinions, they often feel trapped by the patriarchal standards that limit them. It highlights the struggles women face in patriarchal environments when even brief moments of empowerment are taken away by societal norms. The two short stories criticize the patriarchal society and its ability to suppress women’s voices. Keywords: anagnorisis, feminist, short stories, Virginia Woolf, women’s voices Apa yang dialami perempuan sering dianggap sebagai ranah pribadi. Akibatnya, suara perempuan tidak begitu diperhatikan dan dianggap biasa saja, padahal pengalaman perempuan perlu disuarakan untuk menciptakan dunia yang lebih adil bagi semua. Studi ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana perubahan alur anagnorisis dalam “The Story of an Hour” (1894) karya Kate Chopin dan “Lamb to the Slaughter” (1953) karya Roald Dahl menciptakan ruang bagi karakter perempuan, Mrs. Mallard dan Mary Maloney untuk mengekspresikan suara mereka. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan analisis tekstual, studi ini meneliti bagaimana perubahan alur anagnorisis berfungsi sebagai alat agar suara perempuan didengar. Studi ini menggunakan tiga langkah: mengidentifikasi dialog dan monolog utama, mengkategorikan elemen-elemen ini, dan menafsirkannya melalui perspektif feminis Woolf (1929) dan konsep alur cerita anagnorisis. Ditemukan bahwa perubahan alur anagnorisis dalam kedua cerita tersebut membangun "ruang" tempat di mana kebutuhan dan perasaan pemeran utama dapat diungkapkan untuk sementara. Momen-momen singkat tersebut menekankan perjuangan para wanita melawan kekangan suami mereka, yang mencerminkan masyarakat patriarki. Cerita-cerita tersebut menyiratkan bahwa meskipun wanita mungkin mengklaim identitas mereka dan menyuarakan pendapat mereka, mereka sering merasa terjebak oleh standar-standar patriarki yang membatasi mereka. Hal ini menyoroti perjuangan yang dihadapi wanita dalam lingkungan patriarki ketika momen-momen pemberdayaan yang singkat pun dirampas oleh norma-norma masyarakat. Kedua cerita pendek tersebut mengkritik masyarakat patriarki dan kemampuannya untuk menekan suara wanita. Kata kunci: anagnorisis, feminis, cerita pendek, Virginia Woolf, suara wanita
