Female characters struggle to fight against the patriarchal culture in the novel The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

---

This study aims to determine the forms and impacts of patriarchal culture
experienced by female characters in the novel The God of Small Things by
Arundhati Roy. This study uses a qualitative method with a feminist approach
by using Simone De Beauvoir's Existential Feminism theory. The researcher
collected data from the novel The God of Small Things using a note-taking
instrument. The results of the analysis show that there are three forms of
resistance to patriarchal culture in the novel The God of Small Things, namely
women able to work, women are able to become intellectuals, and women can
refuse service to their bodies. This study also found the impact of patriarchal
culture on female characters in the novel, namely: subordination,
discrimination, violence against women, sexual harassment, and trafficking of
women. Therefore, the researcher found that Arundhati Roy's novel presented
female characters who live under a patriarchal discourse that subjugates them
to multiple oppressions of both race and gender-based discrimination.
