The Analysis of Gender Inequality in Two Dramas

Abstract

Gender inequality is the term used to describe how men and women are
treated differently. The target individual or group typically suffers or is
disadvantaged as a result of inequality. This study's goal is to describe
several types of gender inequality as they appear in Mansour Fakih's
theory. Aside from that, consider how female characters approach gender
inequity. Using data from the dramas A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine
Hansberry and Heart in the Ground by Doughlas Hill, this study adopts a
feminist methodology and Mansour Fakih's concept of gender inequality.
Literary criticism is the technique employed. Then, information is gathered
by reading and documenting information that is pertinent to the theory and
research issues. The results obtained from this study are (1) The two
dramas each have three types of gender inequality. In Heart in The
Ground there are subordination, violence and double burden. Three
different types of women's inequality such as subordination, stereotypes,
and marginalization are present in Hansberry's second play, A Raisin in
the Sun. (2) Four ways to achieve their rights: rebelling, threatening, and
talking about it, focusing on their goal.
