Abstract

Wanita adalah bagian dari sosial sistem yang ada dalam masyarakat. Dari hirearki yang ada dalam sosial sistem tersebut, kedudukan wanita lebih rendah dibanding laki-laki. Meskipun perbedaan kedudukan ini mungkin sudah tidak se-mencolok dahulu, masih ada unit-unit kecil masyarakat tertentu, seperti keluarga atau tempat kerja, yang masih menempatkan wanita dibawah laki-laki dalam segala hal. Gone Girl adalah salah satu novel yang fokusnya adalah pada diskriminasi yang dirasakan oleh tokoh utama perempuan, Amy, sebagai seorang wanita dan sebagai seorang istri. Teori yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah teori feminisme. Penulis merasa ada hubungan antara perlakuan yang didapat Amy dan perilaku Amy yang ekstreme. Teori feminisme diterapkan untuk menerangkan hubungan tersebut. Setelah meneliti lebih lanjut, penulis menemukan adanya diskriminasi yang dirasakan Amy sebagai perempuan dan sebagai istri. Diskriminasi yang diterapkan oleh Nick kebanyakan berdasarkan dari identitas gender. Amy memaksakan diri menjadi wanita yang sempurna di mata Nick dengan mengorbankan identitas diri yang ia banggakan. Amy kemudian membalas perlakuan Nick dengan memberontak sistem yang Nick terapkan selama ia menjadi istri Nick. Pemberontakan Amy digambarkan dengan ia meninggalkan Nick, ia merencakan balas dendam ke Nick, is membunuh untuk melindungi dirinya sendiri, dan ia kembali ke Nick berdasarkan sebagai dirinya sendiri bukan wanita ideal Nick. Dengan melakukan pemberontakan ini, Amy mengambil kembali identitas dirinya yang ia kubur saat bersama Nick.

This often happens in social system that place men in a higher position than women. Gone Girl is one of novels that focuses on how its female lead, Amy, is treated as a woman and how her treatment leads into her extreme rebellion. The approach used in this study is feminism because the writer thinks that there is a correlation between how Amy is treated as a woman and as a wife to her extreme actions. Feminism is used to analyze the treatment that Amy received as a woman and as a wife. The study find that there is an oppression that Amy felt since she became a wife. Amy mostly suffered from gender roles of wives and husbands that Nick, her husband, incorporated to their family. Amy was forced to pretend to be someone she is not satisfied as, in order to match Nick’s perception of perfect wife. Amy then rebelled against Nick by doing a series of actions that its purpose was to take her own self-identity back. Amy’s rebellion was portrayed as her leaving Nick, planning to take a revenge on Nick, killing to protect herself, and coming back to Nick in her own terms.
