“BOASTING” RESISTANCE MAINTAINING MALE ARROGANCE IN

THE SHORT STORY OF PEMBURU DAN SRIGALA, A FEMINIST

STUDY

Sulastri, Zurmailis

Universitas Andalas

To examine the literary ideology in fighting for gender, it can be seen how

ideographic references are presented, what is used as justification, what is

considered disturbing, and what is 'claimed' from something that is

considered 'sacred' in that culture. In other terms, the 'social construction' of

ideas circulating in society as a product of culture and history, and the myths

that develop in that society are questioned. Social construction is closely

related to the values and order of society, so the relationship cannot be

separated. If irony, idioms, symbols, myths, and expressions are usually

followed obediently by the community, then literary works that express

denial and questioning through characters in literary texts can be seen as a

form of evaluation or reinterpretation of something that has been considered

final in a society. Therefore, the character's behavior is a complex network of

interpretations of meaning when questioning one's identity. Using Simone

Beauvoir's view of existentialist feminism, the short story "Pemburu dan

Srigala” by A.A. Navis can be peeled off, and cultural identity can be

dismantled.

Keywords: braggart, gender, hunter, irony, social construction
