Abstract :

This research paper describes the portrayal of woman struggle against the patriarchal ideology in the historical fiction film entitled ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ (2008) by Justin Chadwick that presents woman as secondary sex. The research paper discusses the extent to which Anne Boleyn as the female main character struggles in resisting the patriarchal system occurred in 16th century of England monarch. It shows that women are placed on the secondary level and they are stereotyped through the significant conception of beauty notion constructed by society. The implications of woman as the other and on the secondary level are discussed by using second wave feminism theory by Simone de Beauvoir and beauty myth by Naomi Wolf as a supporting theory. The methodology that is used is qualitative textual analysis. Thus, the film is analyzed by using narrative concept from Todorov. Nevertheless, the non narrative is also analyzed to convey the ideology within the film. The aim of the analysis is to portray the characteristics of Anne Boleyn in challenging male domination. The traditional gender stereotype and dichotomy of “The Self” and “The Other” victimize woman as sexual object of man. Women are mistreated because of this condition. However, on the other hand, the male domination is the cause of woman struggle. Due to the forceful patriarchal society, that struggle does not change the situation of woman although it is successful in showing women’s strength.
