CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
1. Feminism
As the writer explained before, the woman character as the main character in “Miss Austen Regrets” film using feminism theory. In this chapter,
the writer discusses that feminism tells about women idea toward her rights, equality, position and status between men and women in many life aspects, like
social area, politics, education, and economics. Feminism theory studies about oppression aspects of women to the men itself. Feminism word was introduces in
the year 1890. Feminism term often presented prejudice, stigma, and stereotype because of lack of understanding in the real meaning of feminism. The ability of
women to establish their career potency and intellectual between men and women are equivalent.
The word ‘feminism’ itself either originated from the French word feminisme in the nineteenth century, as a medical term to describe the
feminization of a male body or described women with masculine traits.

all life aspect was including social activity and education. To pay attention the factor of reader literature, mostly tells about the reader comments toward women
emancipation’s in literature. That feminism movement begins from an idea, which among form of disclosure toward oppression ideology in the name of gender, the
search about the women oppression grew and it was meant to tell about the creation of liberation was true. There was matter which researcher takes away
from feminism theory that was liberal feminism.
Feminism is the idea that women should have political, social, sexual, intellectual and economic rights equal to those of men. It involves various
movements, theories, and philosophies, all concerned with issues of gender difference, that advocate equality for women and the campaign for womens rights
and interests. The history of feminism can be divided into three waves. The first wave was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second was in the
1960s and 1970s, and the third extends from the 1990s to the present. Feminist theory emerged from these feminist movements. It is manifest in a variety of
disciplines such as feminist geography, feminist history and feminist literary criticism.
The writer researches feminism, which is in the first wave feminism refers to a period of feminist activity during the nineteenth century and early
twentieth century; it focused on the promotion of equal contract and property
rights for women and the opposition to chattel marriage and ownership of married women by their husbands. However, by the end of the nineteenth century,
activism focused primarily on gaining political power, particularly the right of womens suffrage.

Several of women have opportunities to live free from fear and enjoy feeling any types of love, especially when they were married without
choice in childhood and have not recourse from bad marriage

.
Feminism tells about a main problem of feminism and its relevance explained feminism was an unconsciousness of women oppression and
exploitation in the society whether in public sphere work or private sphere family and a conscious conduct by women or men to change it.
2. Liberal Feminism
Liberal feminism was born amid ferment in Europe over individual right in a limited state with lines clearly between private lives and public actions,
including market activity. Public-private line drawn differently throughout the world and in various world religions, spread with the extension of the modern
state during the colonial era. Liberal feminism, male and female alike, sought legal change to educated women, to enfranchise them with political rights and to

create equal entitlement and playing field on which to compete for opportunities and resources.
9
Liberal feminism describes the difference of liberal thought dominant in western society, since the enlightenment and affirms that existing political
processes under democracy can address women’s subordinate social position
10
. For liberals the key of fight is access to education; following Mary
Wollstonecraft. It is argued that if men and women are educated equally in the society. It follows that they will get equal access to society.
The liberal feminism views women owning place of freedom and individually. The current information was explained that similarity and freedom
take root at dissociation and rationalities between private and public world
11
. A woman has to prepare herself, so that they can compete in the world in framework
“free computation and have the same position with a man. This theory can support in freedom and equivalence of rationalities. Women are rational creatures
who have ability to be equal with men, so that they have right to give it back to men.

Based on the theoretical of liberal feminism about women equality with men and these will be rationalities
12
. The right to move forward that is equal opportunity just given for men, in consequence, they claim that the equal right of
principle is immediate executed. Therefore, the opinion of liberal feminism that
patriarchal system has to be broken with the attitude. that is changed to reach individual, especially a women attitude in her relation with men, and to make
upright that the women must be enough in various role, social, economics, and politics, so that they will become same position with men in any aspects of life.
Liberal feminism is character, which is formed by an individualistic pressure on right equality.
13
Although liberal feminism said, that to push all equal between women and men in the society. In some cases especially related to
reproduction function, this current is still considered necessary in the existence of difference. Therefore, liberal feminism opinions do not change structurally or
totally but it is enough by involving women in various roles, like social role, economics, and politics.
This liberal position is broadly held to be the dominant, ‘common sense’ stance on feminism, applicable to the majority of women who identify as
‘feminist’ in some way, but it does not want to overturn the social status quo in order to achieve better social conditions for women. In addition, liberal feminist

would be more likely to accept limitation of terms that women and men might well be suited to the separate spheres of home, the workplace and simply lobby
for greater recognition of housework and caring the wages for housework debate in the 1970s emerged largely from this position.
14
Liberal feminism is the personal interactions of men and women as the starting ground from which to transform society into a more gender-equitable
place liberal feminism and tends to have a neutral vision towards different gender; it requires women to mold themselves for fit citizenship that it perceived to have
already been constructing in the welfare of men. Liberal feminism was rooted
thinking to the classic liberal that is individuals should be free to develop their own ability in persuading the interest.
3. Character
When the writer tells about character in terms of literary analysis, the writer is concerned essentially with three separate but closely connected activities.
The writer is concerned, the first with being able to establish the nature, personalities of the character themselves with our ability to understand the major
identifying intellectual, emotional, and moral qualities. Second, the writer is concerned with the methods, techniques an author uses to create, develop, and
14
OP.cit. p. 49
present characters to the reader. Third, the writer is concerned with whether the characters presented are credible and convincing.
The character then is presumably an imagined person who inhabits a story.
15
The character is a role presented in the story, which has some sort of identity. Term of character itself rather understands, where the different as story
figures is presented through attitude, interest, desire, emotion and moral principle owned the figure.
a. Major and Minor Character
Major character or main character is a character, which is concerned with threw hole of a story. Because major character or main character has most part
acting in a story and it is always relates to other characters and so very definitive on the whole of plot development. It always presents as character, or relates to
incident and conflict, influence to important of plot development. In other side, minor characters appearance is more or less in a whole story, unimportant, and
only presence if there is interrelatedness to main character or major character, in a direct or indirect way.
15
X.J. Kennedy, An Intoduction to Fiction. Little, Brown and Company Boston Tornoto 1983. p. 45
b. Protagonist and Antagonist Character
Protagonist character is the central character in the story, one who is face with conflict.
16
Watching a movie was watch for identify with character. It was given sympathy and emphatic involve in an emotional toward characters. The
terms protagonist, main character, a hero are variously defined and depended on the source that may denote different concepts. In fiction, the story of the
protagonist may tell from the perspective of a different character. The principal opponent of the protagonist is a character known as the antagonist, who represents
or creates obstacles that the protagonist must overcome. As protagonists, there may be more than one antagonist in a story.
In other words, a person or groups of people who have opportunity become the main characters. In the classic style of story where the action consists
of a hero, fights a villain can regards as protagonist and antagonist, respectively. Antagonist character is any character or force in the story that presents or causes
conflict for the protagonist. Contrary with the popular belief, the antagonist is not always the villain, but simply those who oppose the main character. In some
cases, the antagonist may be the main character. Such antagonists are usually police officers or other law enforcement officials. Sometimes, antagonists and
16
http:www.geocities.comHollywoodTheaterneocharacter.html, retrieved May 8 2009
protagonists may overlap; depending on what their ultimate objectives are being considered.
c. Flat and Round Character
A flat character is distinguished by lack of a realistic personality. However, the description of a flat character may be details and riches in defining
characteristics. It falls short of the complexity associated with a round character. Supporting characters are generally flat, as most minor roles do not require a great
deal of complexity. Character and actions are a flat character of flat characteristic, monotonous, only one reflects certain characters.
17
These characters are often the basis of flat characters, though elements of stock characters can be found in round
characters as well.
Round character is characters that are complex and realistic; they represent a depth personality, which is imitative of life. They frequently possess
both good and bad traits, and they are may react unexpectedly or become entangled in their own interior conflict. These characters have fully developed by
an author, physically, mentally, emotionally, and detailed enough to seem real. A round character is usually a main character and develop over the course of the
story. Round character are actions often unexpected and given surprise effect at watch.

4. Characterization
A characterization is the creation of fictitious character it means, the writer brings a character to life. A characterization in a literature is presentation of
the attitudes and behavior of imaginary persons in order to make them credible to the author’s audience. A good idea of characterization, the art, craft, and method
of presentation or creation of fictional personages involves similar process.
In presenting and establishing character, characterization has two a basic method or techniques at its disposal. One method is telling, the reliability of
exposition and direct commentary. The other method is the indirect, which involves the writer’s stepping aside to allow the characters to reveal themselves
directly through their dialogue and use of name. In showing many burden of character, analysis that is changed to the reader and need to infer character based
on the evidence provided in the narrative.
Characterization can be depicted using name. Names are often providing
essential clues that aid in characterization. Names can also contain literary historical allusions that aid in characterization by means of association.
18
Some characters are given names that suggest their dominant or controlling traits.
18
James H. Pickering, Concise Companion to Literature. Macmillan State University Publishing ed., inc Newyork 1981. p. 28
Characterization can be depicted trough the dialogue. Dialogue can reveal the moods and personalities of the characters. The task of establishing
character trough dialogue is not a simple one, some characters are careful and guarded in what they say, they speak only by indirection, and it must be inferred
from their words what they actually mean
19
.
In other choice that the writer of fiction called to make is the choice of a method of characterization depends on a number of different circumstances.
Including the author’s temperament in the particular literary conventions of the period in which he or she is writing, the size and scope of work, and the degree of
distance and objectivity. All these factors heavily influence the technique of characterization.
20
Characterization is the use of literary techniques to reveal the nature of a character. Characterization broadly refers to the description and
development of character.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH FINDINGS
A. The characteristic of Jane Austen as the main Character in Miss Austen
Regret’s film.
As the writer explained before, in the theoretical framework, analyzed theory of feminism is liberal feminism related with a women character as the
main character. In this chapter, the writer discussed the character of Jane Austen as the main character in Miss Austen Regrets film viewed from liberal feminism
theory.
Jane Austen came from a small family and lived in outskirts of city in noble area. She got education from her father and brother, besides reading books.
Her family helped her and supported her to be a professional writer. She achieved success as the writer, but not in love. However, as any proper female of the time,
she knew to hide her writing under blotting paper, as it was considered indecent to be a female novelist.
Jane Austen was a novelist; brilliant witty, elegant, structured satirical fiction marks the transition. She began writing novels partially earn her way. She
has received both praise and censure for her works from other writers. Her studies
19
were precise and witty. One could still find the representation of such characters in an ordinary modern life.
In the film, Jane Austen was the main character and she told about her life. Moreover, she was a single woman until someone proposes her becomes a
writer. Her character is categorized as round character because it was found a change in her life. At the beginning of this film, she was happy as proposed by
Mr. Harris Bigg. However, her sister influenced her to change her mind to marry him; therefore, she decided to be a writer. There are same dialogues, which
support about the condition of Miss Austen as the discrimination condition. Jane : I was invited to stay here, at Fanny’s request, to help her make
a decision about her Mr. Plumptre. Mr. Bridges
: I didn’t know he’d made her an offer. Jane : How does a gentlemen’s failure to make an offer interfere with
a lady’s ability to decide whether she likes him or not? Mr. Bridges : and what lady flirts shamelessly all night, then lurks outside in
the dark gawping and gossiping? Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 00:27:24
From the dialogue above, we can see that Miss Austen’s discrimination condition that she gets an allusion from Mr. Bridges about a woman in the
shrubbery. She got two women lurks in the dark gawping and gossiping. Initially she had been invited by her niece to help her, and to make a decision about her
fiancé to Mr. Plumptre. Mr. Bridges was unrespectable to Miss Austen opinion about her fiancé’s niece.
Miss Austen thought about the marriage made her could not support her carrier. If she married, it will make her to be an unorthodox, subversive, and
liberal woman as her perspective of her life this was only a standard of the time. Mr. Bridges thought that Miss Austen bought a negative thinking for her niece
such as hiding under brush and talking about someone.
Fanny : Just because you wrote that as a joke, it doesn’t stop it being true. He thinks we both laugh at him. He’ll never pluck up the courage to ask
again. I’ve missed my only chance. Jane : You could have my widower. All six children.
Fanny : Why do you always turn everything into a joke? This is real It’s me, and all I want to be is a girl and be pretty and be beloved by John
Plumptre and marry him like Anna married Ben. You haven’t got the first idea what it’s like.
Jane : Ben had a cousin who came to visit Hampshire one summer when I was 20, your age exactly. Tom Lefroy was going to be a lawyer, just like
Mr. Plumptre. Shocking amounts of dancing went on, I remember. Shameless bouts of sitting together and gazing at each other. I was a
horrible flirt. Does this ring any bells?
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 00:34:12 From the dialogue above, Miss Austen could see from her niece’s face,
looked angry to her because according to her niece, she mocked at her niece fiancé, Mr. Plumptre. She explained to her, and told about a widow and all her six
children, so that her niece was not angry to her. However, her niece was angry with her. She tells to her that she explained about this was not a real joke. Her
niece wanted to be a pretty girl and beloved by Mr. Plumptre. She gave the example like Anna and Ben’s marriage. She told Ben about Tom Lefroy who
became a lawyer as Mr. Plumptre. She considers her niece who had same experience with her.
The situation above Miss Austen tries to be wise at her niece, Fanny, to believe her. She tells about Anna and Ben’s marriage, her cousin who had came
for visit to Hampshire at summer when her 20 year, exactly as her niece ages. However, her niece had opposed for Miss Austen does not have the first idea.
Dr. Hadden : She marries the one she was destined for all along. Hadden chuckling Now, do you believe that, Miss. Austen? That destiny
always provides us with a perfect mate? Jane
: I do. When I’m writing a novel. Fanny
: So unromantic Dr. Hadden : Ah, but your Aunt’s heroines always get it right. Each one
marries a wealthy man; each one marries him for love. Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 00:55:04
From the dialogue above, Miss Austen was in discrimination condition. She got an allusion from Dr. Hadden about marriage. He assumed about her
perfect mate as her destiny
.
Moreover, she preferred to choose writing a novel than married without she loved. Therefore, in this situation Miss Austen felt
bored to them because she did not like to see her niece closed to him. However, Dr. Hadden said that even though she became a hero for it, he suggested
marrying with a rich man.
Jane : Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.
Madam : But the fuss we make about who to choose… And love still dies and money still vanishes. And every women, spinster, wife, every women
has regrets, so we read about your heroines and feel young again and in love and full of hope as if we can make that choice again.
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 00:59:20 Therefore, according to Miss Austen that the marriage could not give
opportunity as a writer and she would not be free. However, Miss Austen would be liberal feminism, especially in her love and life. Here is Madam Bigeon
explained about what she said to Miss Austen that every women, spinster, wife would be regret. Her novel is full of joy, young, and fresh. It has manipulated
them because it is different in reality.
Jane: Well, Fanny, now you’re become almost an aunt, you are a person of some consequence. You must excite great interest whatever you do. My
dear, what it is? Fanny: Mr. Plumptre’s got engaged to somebody else. You could at least try to
be upset for me. Jane: My dear, sweet, perverse Fanny. You did not choose to have him for
yourself. Why not allow him to take comfort where he can? Fanny: I would have chosen him, but too ruined it.
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:03:32 In the situation above, Miss Austen gave congratulation for her niece
who will become an aunt. Miss Austen said to Fanny that she is excited greeting interest whatever she does. However, unexpectedly, Miss Austen was surprised
by disappointment face of her niece and she did not know who has done to her. Finally, she knew that Mr. Plumptre had engaged someone, and this caused her
niece was disappointed. At least, Miss Austen did not try to upset for her niece and she did not know if Mr. Plumptre is easily offended. However, her niece
cannot accept him because Miss Austen has ruined it.
Jane: I did not. Fanny: You laughed at him. And every time I looked at him, I saw him through
you eyes. Jane: You frighten me out of my wits. You cannot let anything depend on the
opinion of your maiden Aunt. Fanny: Oh, don’t worry, I know that now. And at your time of life, making a
spectacle out of yourself for that silly butterfly of a doctor… Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:04:07
From the first Miss Austen said to her niece had to be careful because she thought if her niece angry with her and made Miss Austen afraid of her wits.
Miss Austen’s suggestion did not let anything depend all of her opinion from her. However, according to her niece, Miss Austen laughed at Mr. Plumptre and
thought about Miss Austen’s bad attitude because she feels disappointed to her. However, this condition could not avoids by Miss Austen accepted the
discrimination from her family. This situation made Miss Austen felt insecure but she tried to be strong for this problem. Whereas she hidden her problem because
she did not see by other person.
Fanny: … In front of everyone. Fanny: How could I ever have thought you knew the first thing about real love?
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:04:30
In the dialogue above, her niece gave a bad judgment for Miss Austen. she knew her fiancée who had canceled their engagement. She never thought if
her aunt knew the first thing about love fair.
Mrs. Austen: Reading? You won’t have time for that sort of childishness now, Anna. Take her from me a moment will you, Jane? There. Oh…
Oh, not like that. She’s not a sack of potatoes. Look at the dear girl. Clever as the day is long, but give her a baby and she has
no idea which end is up. Hardly like a woman at all.
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:05:01 In the dialogue above, her mother said to Miss Austen that reading a
novel was childish things but she could not carry a baby. Moreover, Miss Austen feels unusual thing, So that her mother was angry with Miss Austen.
Therefore, a baby was not a sack of potatoes. Her mother felt dejection because of her; she did not have idea for carrying a baby. According to her mother,
although a woman was clever, but she had to be clever arranged the household too.
Mrs. Austen: My sons have always done their best for this family. But she is a selfish, selfish girl. I saw you with Mr. Bridges. Flirting like a
silly girl. He’s a married man If you wanted to be Mrs. Bridges, the vicar’s wife, you should’ve said yes when he asked you.
Jane: That’s easy, I didn’t want to. Mrs. Austen: It’s not as if you were waiting for a better offer, the rich man with
the big house. No, you had that and threw it away You threw your life away. And mine And your sister’s with it ‘cause, no, he
wasn’t good enough for clever Miss. Jane with her fancy ideas. No, she was worth much more than Mr. Harris Bigg with his
stately home and his thousand acres.
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:13:59 In this situation, her mother was very angry about Miss Austen cause of
her egoist, selfish and she had made a broken family. However, her sons always done best for this family, but she blamed Miss Austen at all. Her mother ever
proposed Mr. Bridges to Miss Austen, but it was not easy to do it. Cause if she married, of cause she would make the discrimination family. Her mother hoped
Miss Austen get married soon, with a rich man who has a big house for her family.
According to her mother, Miss Austen threw her life away, her mother’s life and all her sisters by her novel writing. Her mother’s argument about novel
writing was only a fancy idea and she said Mr. Harris Bigg was more than worth with his stately home and his thousand acres. However, her sister defends on Miss
Austen and pitied of her because her sister very loved her.
Mrs. Austen: Yeah, 15 years. It’s engraved on my heart. Fifteen years since the night you let her run away like a spoilt child from marriage and
security. Jane: I couldn’t marry a man I didn’t love
Mrs. Austen: Then why did you say yes to him? “Yes, Harris, I will be Mrs. Bigg.”
Jane: I made a mistake. Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:14:42
Her mother would be resentful and still save it. As long as 15 years, she disappointed by her. She always remember in the night about spoilt child’s Miss
Austen but felt disappointed if remember her runaway from marriage and safe from her problems. However, Miss Austen was trying for calm down her problem
and she would not marry one of men if she did not love. Her mother said if Miss Austen could not marry with Mr. Harris Bigg. She should not say anything to her,
because she made a mistake and disappointed them.
Mrs. Austen: Your mistake was to get up the next morning and take your promise back.
Jane: What did you want me to do? Sell myself for money? Mrs. Austen: We would’ve been rich. Yes. And what does that mean? Rich is
just another word for safe. Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:15:01
In the dialogue above, her mother said that Miss Austen has done the mistake in the next morning and took back her promise that she must improve her
promise for past away. Miss Austen did not want to promise back cause of seeing her self for money, but her mother want to do it. Her mother has meant with these
riches just another word for safely that if they would be rich, they had safe from a problem in their life.
Mrs. Austen: Don’t you protect her, you’ve done enough of that You sacrificed all our security on a principle, Jane. And has it made you
happy? Has it? Look at you. You’re ill. Nobody tells me anything, but I have eyes in my head. Oh, my poor lonely girl.
Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:15:32
Her mother’s opinion for her sister does not help and protect Miss Austen for this problem because she has done enough for it. Miss Austen has
sacrificed all her family because her principle, her search of safety from her family. Her mother said, she was happy seeing her family suffered cause of her.
Her mother said about her look at herself. Miss Austen looks of sick and hopes her mother becomes the best person outside. However, nobodies give her any
information about it but her mother keeps her eyes to watching her so that she cannot move easily. Her mother thought that Miss Austen looked like a poor
lonely girl, who keeps her principles by writing her novel while it is all only an imagination.
Fanny: Aunt Jane. Jane : Not now, Fanny.
Fanny: You said yes because he was rich and no because you didn’t love him.
That’s so romantic. Jane : Would you choose my life? You can be angry with me, Fanny, but don’t
you dare feel sorry for me. Miss Austen Regret’s movie, 01:16:05
In this situation above, Miss Austen felt to be discriminated by her mother cause of her life and principle. Her niece wanted to say anything to her but
she did not know what would to say. Fanny’s opinion about her aunt Jane, that the story of her aunt was romantic, because rich man loves her aunt and she did not
love him. And Miss Austen said to her niece, if she chooses her life, she could be angry with her and never feel sorry for her.
