Abstract
The portrayal of femme fatale can be traced in ancient mythology, fairy tales, classic literature, and not to mention contemporary literary work such as Gilllian Flynn’s Gone Girl whose story revolves around a married woman plotting revenge against her own husband. Through this study, the writer intends to reveal how the main character can be the prominent portrayal of a femme fatale and whether such portrayal reinforces or resists feminism and patriarchy. The writer examines the problem using Beauvoir’s theory of ‘Other’, marriage, and the myth of woman to trace the connection between the idea of femme fatale and feminism. This study reveals that the main character shows the quality of femme fatale through her rejection against traditional gender roles, ‘Other’, and patriarchy. However, relating to the novel’s ending, it is revealed that the portrayal of femme fatale does not reinforce the spirit of feminism, rather, it disempowers feminism and upholds patriarchy. Thus, this study concludes that the femme fatale character in the novel is a form of anti-feminist, patriarchy-centred, and misogynistic representation.
