Abstract

The results of the discourse analysis of the novel find that the female character is in the subject position, Kiran as the female character is placed in a position that uses men as revenge for her disappointment towards God and rejects the concept of marriage. In the position of the object, Kiran is shown as a sexual object. In describing the anger of women, the author uses the first-person singular pronoun to describe the figure of a woman who celebrates her body in a domineering way. Based on the results of feminist discourse analysis of the novel, it can be concluded that Kiran represents feminism and masculinity in the theory of gender performativity and the theory of deconstruction. Kiran’s character is both a resistance and a critique towards the law and social values that considers not to be in favour of women and also a critique of society’s stigma related to gender-based actions.
