 ABSTRACT

Tinkerbell, the tiny fairy in the famous Peter Pan, is well-known for her role as
Peter Pan's supporting character. The writer is interested in writing and
researching Tinkerbell after she found two different presentations of Tinkerbell in
1953's Peter Pan and 2008's Tinkerbell, the voiceless and the voiced one. The
purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the marginalized voiceless
Tinkerbell in Peter Pan movie and the empowered voiced Tinkerbell
in Tinkerbell movie using Feminist approach. The writer used qualitative method
to analyze those two movies. The result of this research shows that gender
inequalities are a result of women being voiceless and silent as she cannot easily
express her ideas and feelings. Furthermore, by being voiceless, woman becomes
valueless, their life becomes so difficult and they seem to think that life is a
burden. Otherwise, if women can voice their opinion, ideas, and feelings they can
develop and improve themselves so that they are no longer colonized by other
people and live freely. The writer reveals that voiceless woman and voiced
women were represented perfectly by Tinkerbell in two different movies.

Keywords: Voiceless, Voiced, Feminism

 ABSTRAK

Tinkerbell, peri kecil dalam film terkenal Peter Pan, sangat terkenal akan
perannya sebagai sahabat baik Peter Pan. Peneliti tertarik uuntuk menulis dan
meneliti tokoh Tinkerbell ini setelah peneliti menemukan dua tampilan dari
Tinkerbell di tahun 1953 dan Tinkerbell di tahun 2008, yang tidak dapat bersuara
dan yang dapat bersuara. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dan
membuat perbandingan antara Tinkerbell yang tidak dapat bersuara dan tersisih
dan Tinkerbell yang dapat bersuara dan memiliki kekuatan dalam film Tinkerbell
menggunakan pendekatan Feminisme. Peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif
untuk menganalisis kedua film. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa
ketidaksetaraan gender merupakan akibat dari wanita yang tidak mampu bersuara
dan berdiam diri sehingga mereka tidak dapan mengutarakan ide dan perasaan
mereka. Selain itu, dengan tidak bersuara, wanita menjadi kurang bernilai,
kehidupan mereka tampak menjadi sangat sulit dan mereka pada akhirnya berpikir
bahwa hidup adalah beban bagi mereka. Namun, apabila wanita mampu
menyuarakan pendapat, ide, dan perasaan mereka, wanita dapat mengembangkan
dan meningkatkan diri mereka sehingga mereka tidak lagi dijajah oleh orang lain
dan dapat hidup dengan bebas. Peneliti mengungkapkan bahwa wanita yang tidak
dapat bersuara dan wanita yang mampu bersuara digambarkan dengan sangat baik
oleh Tinkerbell dalam dua film berbeda.
