A GRADUATING PAPER
Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for Gaining the Bachelor Degree in English Literature
%X While prophets consisted of men, this poem echoes a different perspective. Furthermore this poem represents the apostolate elements that pointed to woman, so poem‘s title is prophetess. This research is focused on analyzing Prophetess poem by Kyli Santiago. This research is qualitative and it uses a close reading strategy. This research also uses figurative language for transferring meaning of the poem beside the binary opposition to show the binary. Thus, the Islamic feminism is also employed as the main theory. The purposes of the research are to describe: First, how woman perceives herself as a divine subject in the poem in the Prophetess poem by Kyli Santiago. Second, how does Islam respond this kind of phenomena? There are several results of this research. First, women are God‘s special and multi-talented creatures who can bring the better change and be analogous with the men or even more in all aspects of life. Functionally they can be called a prophetess; since they have the God‘s characteristics whose affections establish the quality of human generation. Second, according to Islamic law, Islam is a justice religion that respects all human regardless the sex and gender. Islam does not limit the follower‘s access but they have to realize what they are created for, what portion of they have, and they do not forget about their rights and obligation because of the core of Islamic teaching is placed in the followers‘ righteousness.
