FEMALE TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES IN THE BROTHERS GRIMMS' SLEEPING BEAUTY: AN ACTANTIAL MODEL ANALYSIS by Jeanyfer Tanusy, Trisnowati Tanto

“…The qualitative method is applied to interpretatively divide the story into different major events, from which an actantial diagram and a trajectory can be made before the representation is drawn. The findings suggest that the female characters in the story are mostly placed as an object of the actantial diagram and a goal in the trajectory; this means that the story puts the female characters in passive roles that comply to the traditional gender roles and female stereotypes. …”
