Abstract :

This article aims to explain three main problems namely Mrs. Dean’s loyalty toward the Earnshaws,  the relation between Actants and Function Model in constructing the Narrative of Mrs. Dean’s loyalty, and the effects of Mrs. Dean’s loyalty to Earnshaw Family’s life. To achieve the aims, A.J. Greimas’ theory as conceptualized in such three binary oppositions as subject >< object, destinateur >< destinataire, and adjuvant >< opposant and the functional model is used to determine the problem formulations, the  research aims,  and data analysis. Furthermore, close reading method is primarly used to collect the qualitative data closely related to the main problems above. Based on the descriptive-qualitative analysis conducted by using the theory of Actant and Functional Models proposed by A.J. Greimas, a French structuralist,  results three main findings respectively that Mrs. Dean  in Actants and Functonal Model is a loyal maid in Earnshaw family, the relation between Actants and Functional Model in constructing the narrative of Mrs. Dean’s loyalty is sufficiently complex, and her loyalty implicates good impacts toward Earnshaw family’s members, even toward Edgar Linton family life.
