Abstract


Short story entitled Bojo by JMV Sunarjo written in javanese tells of a conversation between a boy and his mother who have different views on the position of women. In social life, women can act as mothers, grandmothers, daughters-in-law and mother-in-law. Through literature, society or individuals show their views on women according to their position in life. This study aims to describe women based on their position from the point of view of society. Qualitative descriptive analysis with a mimetic approach, namely an approach in literary studies that examines the relationship between literary texts and reality, is used as the method in this study. Based on data analysis, the results of the study included (1) women who were positioned as grandmothers were not allowed to work hard by their sons, (2) women who were positioned as daughter-in-law were considered to give different treatment to mother-in-law, and (3) women who are positioned as mothers (widows) may not be remarried by their sons. Based on these three research results, it can be concluded that society's view of women's position as grandmother, daughter-in-law, or widow is carried out differently. With this study, it is hoped that society can be more objective in giving their views on various women's positions and be wiser in responding to differences in women's will in making their choices.

Keywords: society’s view, woman, short story, mimetic approach
