Semarang, January 2020 v Abstract Astuti, Ratna Dwi. 2020. Women Rebellion As Impact of Male Domination and Oppression in India Represented in Malladi’s The Mango Season. Final Project, English Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts. Universitas Negeri Semarang. Advisor: Mohammad Ikhwan Rosyidi, S.S., M.A. Oppression is the name of social injustice. It is perpetuated through social institutions, practices, and norms on the social group by social groups. Indian society belongs to the man since time immemorial. The woman has been given a secondary and inferior position in her family and society. She has been facing injustice, suppression, oppression, subjugation, and exploitation in a male- dominated Indian society. This study aims to describe how oppression toward women and male domination experienced by Indian women and its explanation to explain the women's rebellion as impact of male domination and oppression toward Indian women as represented in The Mango Season novel. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative study and using Derrida‘s theory of deconstruction to support the data. The main theory used in this study is Maine‘s theory of Patriarchy in a perspective of feminist. This study shows that the novel deconstructs its portrayal of male‘s domination towards women. So, by destabilizing the binary opposition in the novel, that are males oppose females, the males-females hierarchy are reversed.
