But in the case of the differences between men and women, there is a phenomenon where the woman shows her inner masculine side, which in literary terms is known as the Animus. In that case, the writer chooses one of the famous literary works that show possession of animus in the female heroine characters, titled Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children novel by Ransom Riggs.
Research Question
Here the writer observed that the characteristic of the animus reflected by Bronwyn is that of a "man of action". Here, Bronwyn again shows her animus personality known as the "man of action". Here, Emma can be seen showing her consciousness leading to one of the animus personalities known as the "power man".
Here, the characterization of the animus as "the man of power" represents, which means that Emma shows her strength of will. In that case, the author believed that the characteristic of animus personality shown by Emma Bloom in this situation is categorized as the "opinionist". Thus, in relation to Emma's action, the author believes that the trait of animus personality that Emma possesses in this situation is also like the "opinionist".
So, in relation to the situation above, it can be noted that the characteristic of animus personality displayed by Miss Peregrine is also known as "the man of meaning". The character of Bronwyn Bruntley not only shows her animus personality as "the man of power", but she also shows.
Objective of Research
Uses of Research
Theoretical Uses
The writer hopes that this research can enrich the knowledge of readers, especially in understanding the study of animus in archetypes. The author also hopes that this study can become a reference for other researchers interested in analyzing animus in the female character by using Carl Jung's theory.
Practical Uses
According to Jung, the characteristic of the "man of power" is characterized by the physical strength or willpower of the woman. Based on Jung, the characteristic of the "man of power" is characterized by the physical strength or willpower of the woman. As explained by Jung that "man of action" means that a woman concentrates her strength on a certain goal.
Here the writer believes that Bronwyn's animus characteristic is also categorized as a "man of action" because in this situation she shows her bravery by fighting the hollow with her bare hands. According to Jung's interpretation, "human strength" is characterized by physical strength or willpower. According to Jung, the characteristic of a "man with meaning" is that a woman is able to criticize her own action and evaluate her own judgment.
Therefore, the writer noted that in relation to Miss Peregrine's action and consideration, the writer considered that the characteristic of animus possessed by Miss Peregrine in this situation is also known as the "man of meaning". In that case, the writer also noticed that the animus personality trait that Miss Peregrine shows is categorized as "man of sense" which in this case showed that Miss Peregrine was also able to value her own opinions and judgment.
Scope of Research
Archetypal Approach
Based on the explanation, it can therefore be said that Jung categorized archetype in literary work as "collective unconscious" which refers to symbol of love, death, birth, life, hero, villain and many others related to the intrinsic points of a story. It can therefore be said that archetypal figures such as the hero, the goddess and the wise man are not archetypes, but archetypal images realized through the archetypes. Therefore, regarding the explanation above, it can be said that in order to understand the archetypes of Jung, there is an important point to know that the archetype is quite different from the memory image in people's experience.
In this case too, Jung mentioned four important archetypes: the persona, anima and animus, trickster and the shadow.
Animus or Anima
Therefore, some masculine people are actually very weak and soft in the inner heart. When the man feels a passionate attraction, the woman must have the same anima spirit as the man. Many people are victims of characters, but anima and animus are completely different as both archetypes cannot get enough development because in culture, people usually focus on the consistency of characters and discriminate between feminine traits in men or masculine traits. in women (Fordham in Ricketts, 2000: 19).
Such discrimination begins in a person's childhood, when people always hope that the man is the traditional man and the woman the traditional woman, so that the persona absorbs and limits the anima and animus (Douglas in Ricketts.
The Characteristics of Animus
- The Man of Power
- The Man of Deed
- The Man of the Word
- The Man of Meaning
The man of power is characterized by physical strength or by willpower, but this does not mean that the woman necessarily focuses on her own strength, but that she may be attracted to such figures as "heroes of legend or modern sports". celebrities, cowboys, bullfighters, aviators and so on” (Jung in Ricketts, 2000: 25). Thus, from the explanation, it can be said that the first phase of the man of power refers to the willpower of a woman (or in this case woman). The next attribute is symbolized by the Man of the Word, who assumes an even greater mental power and can now "be understood as being a spiritual guide and as representing the intellectual gifts of woman" (Jung in Ricketts.
Therefore, in relation to interpretation, Jung described that if the development of the animus balances the feminine side of a woman, it will harmonize their masculine spirit and not consume or even eliminate the feminine side.
Data and Data Source
Based on the quote above, it can be said that the form of data that can be collected to do qualitative research is not numerical, but descriptive and reasoning. Therefore, the writer performs a qualitative method in the design of this research since the data is in the form of narrative text and the analysis is non-numerical. According to Fred, a source of data can be defined as a person, a book, a written work, and the document it provides.
Therefore, the data source can be defined as something or someone that considers as a source of information.

Data Analyzing Technique
The Man of Power
But it does not always refer to the physical strength, in some cases power in this case can also refer to. Yet Bronwyn still does the job by lifting a giant rock in front of the audience. As seen from the quote, there are two things Bronwyn shows regarding the characteristic of the animus.
Thus, the writer considers that this act is one of the proofs that within Bronwyn's personality lies masculinity even though she is physically female.
The Man of Deed
However, unlike Enoch, Bronwyn keeps her cool and even prepared to fight the monster, which in this case, can be seen when Bronwyn says, "We'll just have to kill them, that's all." Here, the scene shows another characteristic of the animus, which is known as the "man of action" by Bronwyn. As mentioned by Jung, the "man of action" means that a woman is concentrating her physical strength or her willpower on a certain goal. In keeping with the situation from the quote above, Bronwyn is focusing her physical strength to fight the hollow that is trying to kill her and the others.
As explained by Jung, the "man of action" means that a woman focuses her physical strength or her willpower on a specific goal.
The Man of Word
As seen in the sentence, "As we were running, I saw Bronwyn lift the door over her head and throw it towards the Golan," it can be seen that Bronwyn is not only displaying her super physical strength, but also focusing it. overcome the hollow. At that moment I was very glad I wasn't on the other side of the door. Regarding the quote, the writer noted that Bronwyn's animus personality has the ability to overcome her feminine side and make her more brutal and aggressive, which according to Jung is known as a "man of the word".
As can be seen from the sentence, "Bronwyn was terrifying: She bellowed like a barbarian, the veins in her neck bulging, with Millard's blood smeared over her arms and back.", it can be noted that Bronwyn does not hold back.
Emma Bloom
The Man of Power
However, as it turns out from the situation, Jacob did not get a nice and welcoming greeting from Emma, but rather he is threatened by her which can be seen from the sentence, “She pressed the knife harder against my throat, her hand trembled. Jung explained that "the man of power" does not always mean that a woman necessarily focuses on her own strength, but a woman can be drawn herself as the figure that shows a strong will. As it was called by Jung, "the man of power" is not only about showing the physical strength of the woman, but it is also about focusing her strong will.
Furthermore, from the sentence "This proves nothing!" she said, though she barely looked.
The Man of Meaning
Here, the writer noted that the animus personality that Emma Bloom shows is also characteristic. As mentioned by Jung in the characteristic of the animus in the "man of power", it says that the woman shows not only her strong physical strength but also her strong will which means that a woman is not able to be interrupted mentally when she. decides to do something about her will. Jung said that the "man of sense" means that a woman will have learned to criticize and evaluate her own thoughts, to stand firm in her decisions after they have been made.
Here, the writer found that the decision Emma Bloom makes is considered "the meaning of man" because Emma knew after Enoch mentioned the consequences of leaving the loop.
Miss Peregrine
The Man of Meaning
However, the writer also noticed that Miss Peregrine's wisdom comes not only from her experience, but also from her age. In other words, the idea of Jacob was conceived long ago by Miss Peregrine. Finally, the character of Miss Peregrine is shown as the wisest female character in the novel's story.
This is where the writer realized that Miss Peregrine's wisdom could be due to her age as she is the headmistress of the house.
