Abstract

The aims of this study are to explain how gender role concept constructed toward the children and also to identify the consequences of gender role differences that profoundly affect the quality of individual lives as reflected in play. I employed Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie play as the object of my study. This study was a qualitative study with Sociological approach. The data were in a form of words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues. They were collected by reading the script of the drama thoroughly, interpreting, triangulating, identifying, inventorying, and reporting the data. Some relevant theories were also used to support the analysis and answer the statements of problem. From this study, it can be concluded that parent exerts strong influences on person in perceiving their gender role concept. Masculine and feminine are quite conventional and the expectation connected to each gender become important to fulfill. However, the presence of gender roles gives consequences in life. It creates different gap toward men and women existence because women tend to be more dependent on men because they are powerless and subordinate to men. In fact, unequal power and position heighten gender based social inequalities.

There were several findings as the investigation result. First, the identity crisis on the main character happened after he made his interaction with society that had a different culture to his own culture. This was because the different comprehensions about identities between him, his family culture, India, and the dominant culture environment, America. Finally, he changed his given name to another name that showed his changed self-identity at a whole. This changing name represented a change of culture that he chose. Second, after various conflicts regarding names and cultural identity that he chose, he knew that changing his identity because of the different societies’ influences did not solve his problem. He realized that move dynamically would help him to live easier in two different cultures.

Abstract

This final project discusses the syntactic analysis of Mark Twain’s About Barbers on Leech’s Method which focusses on its sentence structure and sentence construction. The problems in this study are: how every sentence of Mark Twain’s About Barbers is analyzed syntactically, what the types of sentence structures are used in About Barbers story, what the most dominant type of sentence structures is used in About Barbers story. The objectives of the study are to have a closer look to the elements of syntactical units, to construct of the sentences of About Barbers story, to show and to explain types of the sentence structures used in About Barbers story, to reckon the frequency of types of sentence structures found in About Barbers story and their degree in percent. The sources of the data in this study are the script of the short story. The data taken from the script are in the forms of phrases, sentences, and dialogues. In collecting the data, I used some steps like reading, identifying, inventorying, classifying, and reporting. In analyzing the data, I identified every sentence by parsing analysis with labelling and then counted the percentage of every sentence to get information the most dominant of sentence structure types used in the story. The result shows that compound sentence structure dominates the short story with the amount of frequency 24 in number. Then, compound-complex sentence structure follows it with 16 sentences. The percentage of simple sentence structure is 15%. Complex sentence structure are 18%. Compound-complex sentence is 27% and the last compound sentence structure is 40%. With regards to the previous results, it can be concluded that this text is dominated by compound sentences. Compound sentence contains more than one meaning to be interpreted, so it is a little bit complicated to catch the meaning for English young learners. The result of this study will help students in understanding the compositions of sentences and how the sentence constructed. Besides, it can help English teachers to consider if this work is understandable or suitable for the students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze woman’s figure representation which was portrayed in Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House during the Victorian era. The method used is descriptive qualitative. It focused on the words, phrases, sentences, monologues, and dialogues as the data to analyze. The data were also analyzed by using sociological criticism on feminist critique. By using this criticism, the work is analyzed, especially in how Henrik Ibsen depicted woman’s figure in his play. The analysis results in two findings. Woman’s figure representation in this play is portrayed by Nora’s character and by the symbol of “doll.” Woman’s figure represented by Nora’s character was complex that she prances about in the first act, behaves desperately in the second, and gains a stark sense of reality during the final of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. In the first, act she represents childlike qualities such as childish, deceptive, obedience, conceited, inconsistent, unadorned, insisted, and dependence. In the second act, she represents a desperate woman by being manipulative, insecure, and seducer. In the final act, she represents mature qualities such as becomes calmer, bolder, and more independent. Woman’s figure represented by the use of “doll” as a symbol of woman in this play is that both Nora and the doll are demanding treatment, demanding leadership, and having physical beauty that can give amusement.
