GENDER CONSTRUCTION IN CANDACE BUSHNELL'S SEX AND THE CITY.
Skripsi thesis, UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA.
Abstract
Sex and the City describes the behaviour of men and women in Manhattan. In the novel, men are portrayed as selfish, melancholic, whiny, needy, shallow, immature and also intimidated by women; on the other hand women are portrayed as strong, independent, famous, manipulative and rich. This gender construction is different from the patriarchal culture, which cast men as the protector, decision maker, brave and rational; while women are portrayed as the nurturer, submissive, irrational and weak.
In order to have deep understanding about the novel, the writer of the study uses the traditional gender construction, which is taken from the patriarchal culture to be compared with the gender construction in Sex and the City. The library research and the qualitative research are used as the methodology of the thesis. In analysing the data, the writer uses descriptive analysis method which is considered suitable to support the description of the problem properly.
