THE SYMBOLS OF VAMPIRE AND WEREWOLF IN ROMANCE
FANTASY MOVIE: THE TWILIGHT SAGA

Oleh: Nofiyanti Fuanda

ABSTRAK

Karya sastra berkembang sesuai dengan perkembangan budaya. Sementara
itu, perkembangan budaya selalu sejalan dengan perkembangan tekhnologi. Film
merupakan salah satu produk budaya yang terpengaruh oleh perkembangan
tekhnologi. Film menjadi sebuah media baru yang mampu menyajikan karya
sastra dalam tiga dimensi: ide, elemen audio-visual, dan karya sastra itu sendiri.
Oleh karena itu, media ini sangat menarik untuk dipelajari. Dalam penelitian ini,
penulis meneliti sebuah film seri berjudul: The Twilight Saga yang menceritakan
kisah cinta segitiga antara tiga makhluk berbeda: vampir, werewolf, dan manusia.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari tahu apa yang disimbolkan
vampir dan werewolf sebagai dua makhluk yang bermusuhan dalam sebuah film
bertema percintaan, dan bagaimana proses simbolisasi yang terjadi menurut teori
semiotika. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan objektif dengan
mengaplikasikan teori semiotika dari Saussure dan Peirce, serta teori film dari
Christian Metz. Konsep dasar semiotika Saussure yaitu berkaitan dengan sistem
tanda, dimana tanda terdiri dari dua komponen utama yaitu ‘signifier’ dan
‘signified’. Sementara itu, teori Peirce yang diaplikasikan dalam penelitian ini
yaitu pembagian tanda menjadi tiga klasifikasi yaitu: symbolic, iconic, dan
indexical. Sebagai hasil dari penelitian ini, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa vampir
dan werewolf dalam film The Twilight Saga menyimbolkan konsep, ‘pria ideal’,
dan ‘pria kurang ideal’ untuk dijadikan pendamping hidup. Edward
menyimbolkan ‘pria ideal’, sementara Jacob menyimboplkan ‘pria kurang ideal’.
Lebih jauh, dengan menganalisis plot film tersebut, dimana Bella lebih memilih
Edward (vampir) daripada Jacob (werewolf), penulis menarik kesimpulan bahwa
film tersebut merepresentasikan harapan wanita untuk mempunyai pasangan
seperti yang disimbolkan oleh karakter Edward: tampan, kaya, dan berasal dari
keluarga yang terhormat. Dengan mengaplikasikan teori Saussure, semua proses
simbolisasi bersifat arbitrary, sedangkan menurut tiga difisi yang dicetuskan
Peirce, beberapa proses termasuk dalam kategori symbolic,dan sebagian lainnya
indexical.

Kata kunci: The Twilight Saga, simbol, cinta, vampir, werewolf.

THE SYMBOLS OF VAMPIRE AND WEREWOLF IN ROMANCE
FANTASY MOVIE: THE TWILIGHT SAGA

ABSTRACT

Literary works develop in line with the development of culture. The
development of culture on the other hand is always affected by the development
of technology. One of the products of today’s culture and modern technology is
movie. This media presents the literary works in three dimensions; the work itself,
the idea, and the audio- visualization of the idea. Thus, this new media of literary
works is very interesting to be analyzed. The writer in this research analyzes a
romance fantasy movie The Twilight Saga which tells a love story among three
different creatures: vampire, human, and werewolf. The research aims to discover
what vampire and werewolf symbolize romance in the movie, and how the
process of referring the symbols is. The analysis uses objective approach, and
applies semiotics theory by Saussure and Peirce, as well as film theory by
Christian Metz. Saussure’s basic theory is about sign system; sign consists of
signifier and signified that relation is arbitrary. Meanwhile, Peirce’s theory
applied in this research as the comparison to Saussure’s model of sign is his three
divisions of sign: symbolic, iconic, and indexical. As the result of the research, the
writer concludes that the appearance of vampire and werewolf in The Twilight
Saga symbolizes the concept of ‘good guy’ and ‘bad guy’. Further, considering
the plot of the movie, it also symbolizes the concept of ideal spouse. The
mechanism of Bella, the human who prefers the vampire, Edward, to the
werewolf, Jacob, represents the dream of young girls to marry such handsome,
rich, and mature guy as represented by Edward character. Regarding the process
of referring the symbols, applying Saussure’s concept, all process are considered
arbitrary, while applying Pierce’s concept, some are indexical and some are
symbolic.

Key words: The Twilight Saga, symbol, romance, vampire, werewolf.
