Patriarchal Opression in Kim Ji-Yeong, Born 1982 By Cho Nam Joo: A Feminist Literary Study
Abstract
Patriarchal culture always brings gender oppression and unfairness. Ironically, this culture is preserved from generation to generation. The patriarchal culture of South Korea revealed in the novel Kim Ji-yeong Born in 1982 was analyzed using feminist literary studies with the viewpoint of women readers. This patriarchy lead to a great deal of oppression experienced by Kim Ji-yeong as the main character of the novel and her mother. This gender oppression will possibly continue to the next generation. Kim almost rarely expressed what she wanted to convey for all the injustices that occurred in her life. Her voice disappeared in the middle of misogynistic life. The method used in this research was a descriptive qualitative approach by taking the Kim Ji-yeong Novel by Cho Nam-joo which has been translated into Indonesian as the primary source. The results signify that Kim and women in South Korea basically do not want to be be marginalized. They need to be supported and respected for their role in getting the same rights in work, household, education, social culture and politics.
