- transitivity choice, Fifty Shades of Grey, ideologi This study aims to analyze the use of transitivity choice by the first person female narrator Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey, focusing on the use of material and mental processes of the main characters. The results of analysis are employed to reveal how the narrator, who also performs as the main female character, depicts the idea of man and woman. It also employed to make clear how the use of transitivity choice in the narrative reflects the ideological stance of the narrator. The findings of the study show that the narrator presents the main male character Christian Grey to have high frequency of doing material processes, especially which affect her. In contrast, she presents herself to perform high number of mental processes. The main female character is also represented to have high number of material processes, but it is not as high as the male. In detailed information, it is found that the female perform high number of mental cognitive processes and only performs few numbers of mental emotive processes. These findings represents her depiction about female and male, in which Christian is seen as a highly active and affecting person, stable and fully taking control of himself, but lacking psychological and physiological awareness. Contrastingly, Ana tends to describe herself as a paradoxical character, who is personally and socially equal to Christian, but being subordinated and easily affected in their personal relationship and tend to be physically out of control of herself. These paradoxical attitudes of her externalized actions are completed with ambivalent images of her mental actions that represent her as a cognitively thoughtful and impassive person, but simultaneously being psychologically delicate and physiologically reflexive. The way Ana presents paradoxical characteristics among each of her external and internal images designate her rejection of feminist emancipatory attitude toward male hegemony. She tends to represents moderate postfeminist femininity which are multivalent and typically paradoxical.
