Abstract

Literary work is a way to express human expression such as feeling, thought, ideas, and imagination. Mostly, it talks about the real situation that happens in society which has moral values that can be applied in real life. In the Elizabeth Rudnick's Maleficent novel, there are two main character, Maleficent and King Stefan, where the depiction of the two main characters was not as it seems. As the representation of real situation in society, this novel created multiple perceptions. So, this study questions how are Maleficent and King Stefan characters depicted in Maleficent novel based on the deconstruction theory of Derrida. This research uses qualitative research method by using Saussure's binary opposition of structuralism and Jacques Derrida's deconstructive approach. By using structuralism strategy, it is found that the characters were centralized into King Stefan as good and Maleficent as bad. Meanwhile, by using deconstructive strategy, it is found that King Stefan character was the true evil and Maleficent had paradox character.
