---

ABSTRACT

Patriarchy system which forms gender stereotypes and its issues, consciously or not is easily found
in daily life. Gender stereotypes are strengthened by patriarchy system which includes judgments of
surrounding society, and forms two categories; masculinity (men stereotypes) and femininity (women
stereotypes) which referred from the different biological characteristics among men and women, to
empower men and disempower women in society. The purposes of this research were to analyze the
portrayal of patriarchy system which is portrayed in the Zemeckis’ Beowulf film, and to analyze the
portrayal of female main characters who break patriarchy system which is portrayed in the film.
This research was designed as a qualitative research, and the theory of patriarchy by Allan G. Johnson was
used as the ground theory. The results of the research showed that patriarchy system and its four elements
such as male dominance, male identification, male centeredness, and obsession with control are promoted
in the society which is portrayed in the Zemeckis’ Beowulf film (2007). Although the two female main
characters of the film live in a society which is patriarchal, but they do not fall into the patriarchy system
and the gender stereotypes that are imposed on them as subordinate women, instead they challenge and
break the social systems.
Keywords: Beowulf Film, Gender Stereotypes, Masculinity, Femininity, Main Characters, Patriarchy,
Women Portrayal.
