ABSTRAKDewasa ini, film yang mempromosikan perempuan sebagai sosok yang kuat menjadi sebuah
trend. Ada banyak film populer yang menawarkan cerita di mana perempuan berperang di
dalam lingkungan patriarki. Genre film lainnya yang populer di masa kini adalah romansa
yang dikombinasikan dengan supranatural. Beautiful Creatures adalah sebuah film yang
menawarkan seorang karakter perempuan tangguh yang memiliki kekuatan supranatural.
Beberapa media juga mendukung status Lena Ducchanes sebagai seorang feminis. Makalah
ini berupaya untuk memperdebatkan pernyataan tersebut. Meskipun penulis Beautiful
Creatures bermaksud menjadikan Lena sebagai seorang feminis, ada beberapa sifat Lena serta
kondisi yang melemahkan posisi Lena sebagai seorang feminis. Melalui analisis film serta
penelitian, tercapai kesimpulan bahwa beberapa factor yang seharusnya mendukung Lena
sebagai feminis malah mendukung bagaimana lingkungan patriarki memposisikan perempuan.
