Abstract

This research aims to know how James‗s preference on both women (Nuala) and (Dee) reflect the dichotomy between ideal and non ideal woman as seen in Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie novel by Maggie Stiefvater. The novel tells a story about two women who play a role as a lover. In the novel there are two women‘s characters who can be compared and contrasted. They show the central and marginal concept. This research has addressed the nature of ideal woman figures. This research is purposed to describe the contrasts of woman characters: Nuala and Dee in Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie novel. This research is a qualitative research. The analysis uses an objective approach and uses the binary opposition theory by Claude Levis-Strauss. Furthermore, the writer applies the characterization theory to analyze the characterizations in the novel. The type of this research is library research. The result of this research is that binary oppositions that are found show relation about the ideal woman. Seen from James‘s side and this modern era, the ideal woman figure is Nuala. Besides, the non-ideal figure is Dee. On the other hand, Nuala represents man‘s fantasy (James) about ideal woman, but Dee represents the ordinary woman who is less able to attract men.
