The Scheme of Functional Model

In this research, the writer uses the actantial and functional model to analyze the narrative structure of The Water Diviner film. Thus, the two models are important and relevant to be used as the theoretical framework to this study because Greimas’ theory of actants can be used as a device to analyze an action in the story and this theory has an adva ntage to present the details of character’s life in the story from the beginning to the end. Moreover, the actantial and functional model have a relation in constructing the main narrative in The Water Diviner film. The actantial model schematically shows functions and roles of the character that perform in narrative, and the functional model is a sequence events that occur in the film called function to elaborate the role of the subject in order to carry out the task from the sender.

CHAPTER III DATA ANALYSIS FINDINGS

The writer divides the analysis into two parts. On the first part, the writer discovers the role or the function of each character by determining the character into six actant functions, such as sender, receiver, subject, object, helper and opponent. Then, the writer describes the actantial scheme which builds the narrative structure from the events that occurs in the story. The second part, the writer finds the correlations between the results of the analysis of actantial and functional model to find the main narrative structure in The Water Diviner film.
