Abstract

The issue of gender equality is no longer a new one. It arises along with the stereotype of men who have a higher nature than women. In addition, in terms of strength and rights women are also below men. This aspect of gender inequality is one of the aspects developed by Rusmini in her novel "Kenanga". It tells the story of women who live under the pressure of men due to their gender. This research was then made to examine every gender inequality behavior that occurs in this novel. Using a qualitative method, the research then applies a feminist approach in analyzing each event of gender inequality that occurs in Rusmini's novel "Kenanga". The results show that, gender inequality against women mostly occurs due to stereotypes from the society in which they live. This gender inequality occurs starting from the aspect that women's nature is under men, therefore women must always obey men. Moreover, in terms of education, women are also prohibited from getting a proper education than men because basically, women's job is only to take care of men. In addition, women from the poor are often treated harshly because the customs enforced in society greatly differentiate between castes. From this research, a new direction is given that gender inequality needs to be a concern because considering today's developments, it allows everyone including women to develop and have a career.

Abstract

This research raises the deconstruction of patriarchal power over women, social, race and education in the novels. The researcher examines this matter with the aims of uncovering and describing gender issues in this study based on the existence of women who feel oppressed trying to fight for their rights. In this study, the researcher compares the same situation between the two main characters in these two novels which is described using a qualitative descriptive method. The data sources in this research are the novels Bekisar Merah and The Color Purple. The data were obtained by reading, taking notes, and coded each sentence related to the research data. In analyzing the data, the researcher uses the Feminist Intersectional theory to examine in depth the oppression of women from all aspects. The results of this study indicate that there is discrimination experienced by the two main characters in the novel, discrimination in terms of gender, family, society, race and education. Marginalization is also felt by these two characters due to differences in Gender, Race, and Family backgrounds that give rise to marginalization, the existence of dominance from the other party towards one of the sexes can be marginalized, in addition, the injustice has to do with the subordination, stereotypes, and violence experienced by the female characters in the novel. However, the form of gender equality in this case is the need for mutual respect between men and women, women as equal partners of men are more precisely as mentors and equal partners.

Abstract

Redemption at Hacksaw Ridge was written by Booton Herndon. The book, which is based on the true story of American Army medic Desmond Doss during World War II, emphasizes Doss' strong moral principles, which prevented him from carrying a weapon or taking part in acts of violence. This study intends to examine the deontological ethics embodied by Doss in the book, emphasizing his moral commitments, ethically grounded decision-making, and the consequences of his actions during the conflict. Sigmund Freud's psychological theory and a qualitative approach are used in the study to pinpoint three important subtopics in Doss's character: morality, duty, and human rights. The results highlight Doss's steadfast adherence to his moral principles and personal religion despite strong peer pressure. As he carried out his front-line medic duties, he never wavered from his non-violent principles. According to the research, Desmond Doss's story from Redemption at Hacksaw Ridge offers a compelling illustration of upholding moral principles in the face of adversity. It highlights the significance of keeping moral standards in place even in the face of strong opposition, demonstrating that morality and bravery can coexist in the real world.
