oppositions in which arising the opposite views of the previous fixed views. The
findings showed that there were ten characteristics of the narrator that were
opposite each other, six from John and two from Jennie. From the fixed views,
the narrator was considered as an isolated woman, inferior and weak woman, mad
woman, even imaginative woman, however after they were deconstructed the
narrator precisely was also proven as a free woman, superior woman, strong
woman, normal woman, even realistic woman. Then John who was considered as
a bad husband, superior and strong man, apparently after the characteristics were
deconstructed he was also a very good husband, inferior man and weak man.
Likewise, Jennie who was originally considered good and perfect woman,
apparently she could be considered as a bad woman.
