Abstract
This research aims to reveal the conventional images that have been deconstructed in The Wee Free Men and to identify the methods of deconstruction employed by the author. To answer the objectives of the research, the researcher used deconstruction literary criticism, as it tries to break down the logocentrism. This study used qualitative approach. Content analysis is employed as the technique to analyze the object of the research. The main source of this research is a novel entitled The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. The data of the research were some utterances and sentences containing the images that have been deconstructed. The researcher was the primary instrument and the second instruments were the data sheets. To collect the data, the researcher used reading and note-taking technique. The researcher then analyzed the data through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing process. To achieve trustworthiness, the researcher conducted a triangulation technique. After analyzing the data, the researcher finds two results related to the objectives of the research. First, there are two new images found in the novel, namely the image of flawed heroes which is different from the conventional images of the perfect heroes, and that of the image of irregular witches which is contrasting with the wicked witch images that appear in the conventional fairy tales. Second, there are four deconstruction methods used to convey the new images of heroes and witches. They are the subversion of moral dichotomy, the exposure of irony, the subversion of gender dualism, and the last one is the exposure of unusual diction. The new images of heroes and witches appear in the story to give new reading to the readers and to train the readers to observe things through different angles. To read such stories, readers (especially young readers) are expected to be more open-minded.
