male, female, domination, language, styleAbstract
The difference between man and woman is not based on the biological aspect but on how society makes it. Women are formed by their community, where they are against discrimination. Moreover, the prejudices reveal language use, including in literary works. Monkey Grip by Helen Garner tells about a woman’s condition and feeling for a man. This study aims to elaborate on feminism and stylistics, especially in identifying Australian female authors. By using stylistic analysis, this study revealed that man character dominated the woman character in conversation and did not care about his partner’s feelings. Although the female character knew it, she was afraid to fight because of the male’s domination and her love.
