Annisa Fauziah, - (2018) THE PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN’S SUBORDINATION IN A DYSTOPIAN NOVEL ENTITLED WITHER BY LAUREN DESTEFANO (2011). S1 thesis, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
Abstract
Wither (2011) is a dystopian novel about the destruction of the world as the
aftereffect of World War III. The situation worsens after a deadly virus emerges
due to a failure of a genetic trial. Women in the novel are subordinated as they are
mainly seen as a baby-producing machine by men so that humans will not be
extinct. The study aims to analyze how the subordination of women is portrayed
in the novel Wither. Applying a qualitative approach and textual analysis, this
study uses Mitchell’s (1966) socialist feminist theory due to the subordination of
women which occurs in more than one sectors. Additionally, to untangle the
portrayal of women’s subordination in the novel, the study analyzes the literary
elements of the novel guided by Roberts and Jacobs’ (2004) elements of fiction
focusing primarily on narration, character and characterization, style, diction and
dialogue. The data analysis shows that women’s subordination is portrayed mostly
through narration and diction, and occurs in four different structures: sexuality,
reproduction, production, and socialization. The subordination, however,
primarily occurs in terms of sexuality. This research is expected to not only
contribute to the study of women’s subordination but also to increase people’s
awareness of different forms of subordination in the society, and that they know
how to resist and act against it.
