Abstract

This research is aimed to prove and explain how (1) female subordination and (2) male domination in Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See are narrated by identifying the novel’s gender narratives. The theory of poststructuralist narratology and feminist criticism on gender and war are employed to analyze the problem. It is a qualitative research. It employed textual analysis which focused on the narrative of the text. The main source of data was Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. The data were in the forms of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and paragraphs depicting or implying gender narratives. The researcher used five steps in analyzing the data. The data were gathered from reading and re-reading the text, identifying those which embody gender narratives, categorizing them based on the research’s objectives, comparing them to the analytical constructs, and lastly interpreting them by using feminist narratology. The researcher used triangulation and peer debriefing to obtain trustworthiness. The results show that female subordination and male domination are found in the narratives of gender. Females are narrated as figures embodying vulnerability, fear, irrationality, emotional instability and submissive characteristic. Meanwhile, males are narrated as figures embodying power, bravery, rationality, intellectuality and heroic behavior. Those qualities embody the polarized gender narratives of men and women that endorse a patriarchal order and hierarchy. Females are seen as inferiors from the beginning of their gender creation. The construction of this dualistic gender shows the binary thought of patriarchal society. These findings conclude that gender subordination is embedded in the novel. Key word: narratives, poststructuralist narratology, gender, feminism, war, American literature
