Abstract

ABSTRAK

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis keberadaan Edna Pontellier dalam novel The Awakening karya Kate Chopin sebelum dan sesudah ia mengonstruksi kesadaran eksistensialnya. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menganalisis dampak lecut balik eksistensial yang mengikuti konstruksi dan kesadaran tokoh utama perempuan tentang kesadaran eksistensial. Konsep yang digunakan dalam analisis adalah Modus Keberadaan dari Sartre, Lecut Balik dari Faludi, dan konsep-konsep lain yang berkaitan, antara alin feminisme eksistensial dan patriarki. Metode penelitian sastra yang digunakan adalah metode konstekstual yang menggabungkan analisis intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sulit bagi perempuan untuk menjalankan kesadaran eksistensialnya dalam dunia patriarkis. Terlalu banyak ragam lecut balik yang harus dihadapi yang mengarah kepada lecut balik eksistensial yang bersifat final bagi keberadaan perempuan.

Kata kunci: eksistensi, lecut balik, feminisme eksistensial, patriarki
