WOMEN AGAINST GENDER INEQUALITY IN HARRY BREADBEER’S MOVIE ENOLA HOLMES 2

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the types of gender inequality that occur in the Enola Holmes
movie and describe the woman's struggle against gender inequality by referring to Walby's
(1991) and Lakoff’s (2013) theories to explain the representation of women language used
by female characters in the Enola Holmes 2 movie. This study uses a descriptive qualitative
research method with data obtained from the film Enola Holmes 2. The result of this study
indicate that there are 24 utterances featuring gender inequality categories by female
characters. The findings are that there are five gender inequality categories, namely
violence and culture (33,33%), the state, household production (12,5%) and paid work
(8,34%). The reasons why women struggle against the five categories of gender inequality
are because they want gender equality in all scopes, especially the scope of work, to be
equal for everyone. The dominant types of women's language used in the Enola Holmes 2
movie are rising intonation on declarative, intensifiers, and emphatic stress to emphasize
the utterance's meaning, and super-polite forms to show respect and politeness and reveal
the social class of the women.
