Abstract

In a patriarchal society, women are considered subordinate to men because of their position in the family and the society. Patriarchy system explains that family is the primary source where the doctrine of patriarchy is applied. This patriarchal system also describes that family, society, and state have relations interrelated to regulate its citizens through the head of family. The patriarchy system toward women characters is the major issues in Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Gadis Pantai. Therefore, the writer conducts this thesis in order to reveal the patriarchy system faced by women characters of the novel and also the way the main character react against the patriarchy system. The writer finds the patriarchy system and the react by the main characters through feminist point of view. It shows that Gadis Pantai as the main female character in the novel face patriarchy system in her community. She is treated differently by her parents, her husband and her family. Thus, she is her husband’s object to her marriage. Consequently, Gadis Pantai has to deal with strictness toward her husband’s rule. Worstly, the society also discriminates them merely because they are woman. Although Gadis Pantai has faced oppressions and subordination, Gadis Pantai has her own way to survive and endure all the pain and suffering. Gadis Pantai’s react is a natural reaction of her oppressed condition and for her own survival. Her ways of react against subordinations and oppressions in patriarchy system are shown by her tries to obey her husband and never denies or complains. She accepts this condition fatefully.
