Abstract

Sari, Titan Novita. Student Registered Number 12203183213. 2022. Critical Discourse Analysis on a Novel “Me Before You” by Jojo Moyes. Thesis. English Education Department. Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training. State Islamic University Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung 2022. Advisor: Dr. Arina Shofiya, M. Pd. Keywords: Subject, Object, Reader, Women Sara Mills was one of the pioneers of critical discourse analysis who wrote a lot about discourse theory. But her point of concern is mainly about how women are featured in the text, whether in novels, images, or in the news. The placement of women's positions in a discourse is one thing that deserves attention. The key points of Sara Mills’ theory in the critical analysis are the subject position, the object position, and the reader position. In this regard, the researcher applied the Sara Mills’ theory to the popular novel "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes with the formulation of the problems "How is the female depicted in the position of subject and object?" and "How is the position of the reader shown in the novel?". The purpose of this study is first to analyze how the female is depicted in the position of the subject and object and second to analyze how the reader is presented in the novel. In this study, the researcher have used a type of content analysis research with a qualitative approach. The method used is discourse analysis. Because the study material is in the form of discourse content in the novel Me Before You by Jojo Moyes with the theory of Sara Mills. The researcher analyzed and found that at least 10 data corresponded to Sara Mills' theory. The details of such data; 6 female data at the position of the subject, 2 data of women in the position of the object, and 2 data on the position of the reader. The conclusion of this explanation means that Jojo Moyes must agree if her writing is supported by Sara Mills' CDA theory. Based on these data, women who occupy the position of the subject dare to be different, women can become the backbone of the family and realize that they are not always dependent on men, women also accept themselves as they are, and finally, a mother can continue to work without abandoning her obligations as a mother. In the position of the object, there is a patriarchal thought rooted in family life and relationships between lovers. Finally, in the position of the reader, the interests that the author wants to present in the text are in the form of economic interests . Women are required to have jobs and income. Readers are encouraged to share their opinions about the difference between the lives of the rich and the poor.
