Abstract

This research analyzed Little Women movie which is adapted from a novel with the
same title written by Louisa May Alcott in the 19th century. This movie presented how a
strong mother named Marmee with her four daughters who have to go through a hard life
without the existence of the father who left them to go to The Civil War for long time as a
soldier. Related to the setting of the movie, Marmee is described as a single parent who has to
take full responsibilities started from taking care children, cooking and taking good care of
the house. Furthermore, during the era of 19th century some women chose voluntarily to be
nurses for helping the injured soldiers while the rest of them including Marmee chose to stay
at home with the family (children).
This research focused on Marmee’s role which is related to the setting of the movie to
be discussed further. The character’s role is explained thoroughly by using Tiffany K.
Wayne’s theory of triple role. This research used mimetic approach and deals with
descriptive method to analyse the data qualitatively. The result of this research is Marmee’s
character experienced one out of three roles that proper with Tiffany’s triple role theory. This
role is reproductive role where it was shown in many scenes during the story.
The reproductive activities were shown by Marmee are she cared for her daughters,
she looked after them, educated them and cooked for them where these represents as
reproductive role according to Tiffany and it proved that Marmee is capable to handle all
things without the existence of her husband in that era. The two other roles missing are
productive and community management role. These roles are not seen towards the character
because Marmee did not work in the story and she chose to be a housewife rather than did
voluntarily activity.
