Abstract

Movie belongs to a visual communication that uses pictures and sounds to tell a story which is usually reflect from human life. Disney, one of familiar movie productions, uses this platform to produce movie that represent universal moral values and can be watched by all ages since it can teach the meaning of life among society. It is Brave, one of Disney‟s movie which tells about princess Merida as main character in breaking the kingdom‟s rule again against her mother, Elinor. Her mother‟s oppression that constructed her masculinity side became even stronger. Even though Merida‟s masculinity was more dominant, it did not diminish her feminine side. Merida‟s appearance was still feminine and she also had assertive character. Thus, it could be very significant to conduct a research on how masculinity is used by a woman to challenge other masculinity shown by other women or men. In addition, the position of Merida was interesting to be discussed in relation to the use of masculinity valued by Merida in responding to her mother‟s domination. Regarding to this problem, this research aims to analyze how Merida‟s characteristic is depicted as a result of the relation of her mother‟s oppression shown in Brave movie. This research belongs to a library research that applies the qualitative method suggested by Judith Halberstam‟s theory to analyze the research object – which is Brave movie. The problem statement in this research is; Is Merida‟s masculinity constructed by her parents? From this reasearch, it can be concluded that Merida‟s masculinity is constructed by her mother‟s oppression and her father‟s support; it is not innate.
