Abstract

This research aimed to find out the form of Juliet's struggle against patriarchal dominance in a drama under the title Romeo and Juliet. The research was a descriptive qualitative research. The theory of feminism belonged to Simone de Beauvoir and Sylvia Walby to find out the patriarchal dominance. The results of this study indicated that women at that time were only seen as objects in patriarchal societies which placed the position of men, especially fathers as leaders and decision makers. This condition had an impact on limiting women's space and rights so that they unconsciously submitted and accepted it as something normal. Juliet was also a victim of male masculine dominance. She was an object to be exchanged in marriage and objects contested by men. Juliet's form of resistance also varied from making excuses for not getting married, eloping with Romeo and leaving her family, to drink the potion given by Friar Lawrence.
