Abstract | Romance is categorized as formulaic genre considered lack of meaning and rarely used as a source in teaching literature (prose). So, it is a challenge to bring a romance as teaching material in prose class. Romance can provide critical discourse, especially gender. This paper deals with gender construction of Twilight's protagonists and its contribution to provide critical discourse about gender in teaching prose.The descriptive analytic method and cultural approach are used to convey the construction. This paper shows that Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in Twilight considered as cultural agents that convey gender ideology through the picture of ideal masculinity and femininity. The Gender construction of the major characters shows how sexuality and gender ideology which socially constructed are both strengthened and resisted. In prose learning, this discourse is expected to broaden the perspective of students of English Education Department of Universitas PGRI Semarang that gender is a construction that was born in a society, femininity and masculinity are a cultural construction that is also created in society and literature have recorded them as in the novel Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. |
