Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguak sisi perlawanan ter-hadap konstruksi kolonial yang masih berlaku di dalam tatanan dan norma sosial masyarakat yang dic-erminkan di dalam novel tersebut. Dengan menerapkan pendekatan pascakolonialisme dan metode yang mendukung analisis secara dekonstruktif, dapat dibuktikan bahwa novel tersebut mengungkapkan perlawanan terjajah (perempuan) yang ada di balik sikap dan praktiknya yang seakan patuh pada kekuasaan penjajah (masyarakat dan dominasi laki-laki). Pendahuluan Merunut sejarahnya, tema cerita yang ada dalam genre prosa pada ranah kesusastraan san-gatlah beragam dan kreatif. Selayaknya genre sastra lainnya, ragam cerita yang ditampilkan pa-da karya sastra prosa ini pun mengandung isu-isu tertentu yang biasanya berkaitan dengan ru-ang lingkup sosial tempat diciptakannya karya sastra itu berada. Salah satu isu yang telah berkembang hingga saat ini adalah yang berkai-tan dengan status dan posisi perempuan di da-lam tatanan masyarakat tertentu atau apa yang secara umum disebut dengan isu feminisme. Hal ini tentu saja berkaitan dengan respon terhadap fenomena sosial yang terjadi di tengah-tengah kehidupan masyarakat tertentu, dan tujuan dicip-takannya karya sastra yang mengangkat isu feminis ini antara lain dapat berupa satire atau sindiran, perlawanan, atau bahkan sebagai dukungan ter-hadap tatanan sosial yang berlaku terhadap posisi dan status perempuan tersebut. Di dalam sejarah kesusastraan, arah ke-cenderungan wacana feminisme yang ditulis oleh para penulis prosa sebenarnya telah mulai menggelora semenjak masa transisi dari periode Augustus menuju periode Romantisme (1750-1780) sampai dimulai dan berakhirnya periode Ro-mantisme itu sendiri (1880-1830) di Inggris. Hal tersebut dipicu oleh keadaan yang membuat hak dan ruang kebebasan wanita begitu sempit. Be-Abstract This research analyzes postcolonial discourse about body and gender relation in Nathaniel Haw-thorne's The Scarlet Letter that tells about obsession toward morality, gender oppression, punishment for sinner, guilty feeling dan individual sin confession.
