Abstract
The objectives of this research are to find out the feelings felt by the main characters about their homosexuality, to find out the impact of the homosexuality toward the main characters, to find out the attitudes of the society toward a homosexual, and to find out how the short story and the film reveal the issue. The theory of abnormal psychology and film analysis theory are used by the researcher to answer the formulated research questions. This research is a qualitative study applying content analysis method. The subject of this research is a short story entitled Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx and its film adaptation directed by Ang Lee. The data were some phrases, clauses, and sentences from the short story related to the issues of homosexuality and from the film the data were the scenes with cinematic codes related to the issues of homosexuality. The data analysis was conducted by classifying and categorizing the data to find the inferences. The triangulation method was applied to gain the trustworthiness of the data by consulting her findings with her consultants and friends. The findings of the research are as follows: In Brokeback Mountain, the positive feelings felt by the main characters are feeling comfortable and feeling optimistic of their homosexuality and the negative feelings such are feeling ashamed, feeling confused, and feeling terrified of their homosexuality. As for the impacts, the positive impact is the raise of self confidence, and the negative impacts are having the feeling of fear to the homphobic, having excessive feelings toward their couple, and having guilty feeling toward their family. As the view of the society toward homosexuals, the conservative view is showed by refusing to hire a homosexual to do a job, being a homophobic, and murdering a homosexual and the progressive view is by embracing a homosexual as family. Both of the positive and negative feelings, impacts, and attitude from the society are mostly revealed by the short story using literary devices such as irony and symbolism. As for the film, visual codes that employ size of shot and lighting are used to reveal the issues.
