Greimas. Thepurpose of this study is to obtain, examine, understandand describe the actantial and functional structure ofBeauty and The Beast. The result of the study concludesthat the analysis of main actantial scheme andfunctional structure is the Beast looking for his true loveto break the curse. The desire and wish of thecharacters which are the activator to looking for histrue arrative structuralism, Beauty and The Beast.I. INTRODUCTIONFairytale is one of literary works. Fairytale is ashort story and usually written for children. It tellsabout magical creatures, idealized or extremelyhappy [1]. The story of fairytale is rare in the realworld because, the characters of fairytale are animal,giant, dwarf, trolls, whiches and similar to them.Fairytale in the literary sense is easy to find. Theybelong to no one and have been adapted and retoldcountless times. Fairytale is an oral story and it isbased on an artistic fiction. It had been orally createdduring centuries and transferred from generation togeneration [2]. Fairytales do not need to be writtendown to be legitimate. Beauty and The Beast is oneof fairytale which tells about the prince who is cursedto be a Beast by a witch.Based on those stories, this study chooses Beautyand The Beast as the object of the study. This studyfocuses on the structure of a story by using structuralnarrative which is developed by A.J Greimas. A.JGreimas describes actants and functional scheme andalso the relationship to each other in the story[2].Within this framework, this study is conducted toanswer two research questions as follows: 1. Whatare the actant and functional scheme in Beauty andThe Beast, and 2. How is the relation between actantsand functional scheme in Beauty and The Beast.To answer the two research questions above, thisstudy used structural narrative theory to analyzefairytale Beauty and The Beast which are seen fromactantial and functional scheme. This structuralismmodel is used because the structural narrative ofGreimas is considered to have an advantage inpresenting the detail of character life from thebeginning to the ending of the story. In addition, thisstructuralism model has clearly been able todemonstrate and differentiate between protagonistand antagonist character[3,p.146].Piaget [4, p.4] "Structure consists of elementswhich close in a relationship and systematic to formthe unity and the wholeness of literary work". Thereare three ideas about the elements contained in thestructure. The first is the wholeness, it means that allelements which build a text determine its selfsignificant and determine all significant in theintrinsic norm. Also, all elements adapt themselves tothe other element.Piaget [4, p.4] “Structure consists of elementswhich close in relationship and systematic to form theunity and the wholeness of literary work”. There arethree ideas about the element that contained in thestructure. The first is the wholeness, it means that allelements which build a text determine its selfsignificant and determine all significant in intrinsicnorm. Also all elements adapt themselves to the otherelement.The theories are summarized into two point asfollows :1) ActantialActantial structure used to describe the role of thecharacter situasion, feelings, a thing from the storieswhich based on binary opposition such as : subject –object, sender – receiver, helper – opponent. There isstructure of tFig. 1: Actantial SchemeAs indicated in Figure 1, the element of theactantial can be explain based on their function. Asender wishes to transmit or communicate an objectto receiver. Sender is an actant who or which hasdesire and is activator of the story[10]. The sendergives a subject the mandate to perform or get sender'sCopyright 2019, the Authors. Published by Atlantis Press.This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC license 31

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 380request. Receiver is the character who undertakes thequest that is asked by sender. The opponent is a figureor force that tries to precent the subject from carryingout the commision. Helper is an actant who or whichhelp subject [11].2) FunctionalBesides showing actantial structure, Greimas findfunctional structural. The function of a functionalmodel used to explain the role of the subject in orderto carry out the assignment from the sender which iscontained in the actant[5]. The functional model isclosely related to the actantial model because therelations between one actant and the others aredetermined by their functions [6]. Fossion who iscited by Hacette in his book of lectures Nouvellessaid that "all stories despite in different forms showthat there is the same configuration on the types ofactant which is defined by relation and functionplayed in stories." [5, p.4] The function of functionalscheme is describing more detail the role of thesubject to get an object affected by the sender basedon the plot. Functional scheme divide into 3 stages;initial situation, the transformation stage and the finalsituation [9].A.J Greimas developed structuralism intonarrative structuralism.Narrative structuresconsidered by Greimas in order to explain the gradualevolution of sequences and the formation of the storyto compare the sensible/stative model[6].Greimas tells about the relationship betweencharacters (actants) from the stories. Based on thatstatement, the relationship among the charactersneeds to be analyzed to find actants and functional ofthe characters.II. METHODSTo analysis, this literary work, the method of thestudy is a qualitative-descriptive method. Qualitativedata in this study refers to text from the fairytaleBeauty and The Beast. Descriptive studies aredescribed in more detail about the correlationbetween actants and functional models.In this study, the data collected are analyzed byusing the structural theory of A.J Greimas. Toanalyzing the data, firstly identifying actant schemeand functional models in Beauty and The Beast, findthe main actant and functional and identifying therelationship between them in the story.III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThis study focused on 3 characters who haveimportant role in Beauty and The Beast. There areBeauty, The Merchant (Beauty’s father) and TheBeast (Prince).In this study, Beauty and The Beast has 8 actantand 8 functional schemes that actant is describedmore detail to find the role of character.A. The actant structure as follows :SenderBecome poorObjectMoneyReceiverEnoughliviing costHelperA ShipSubjectThe MerchantOpponent-Fig. 2: Actantial scheme 1In Figure 2, the Merchant has a role as a subjectwho desires money (object). The Merchant's life waschanging to become a poor family so he needs moneyto sufficient his family's needs (receiver). All at oncethe Merchant lost his whole fortune, excepting asmall country-house at a great distance from town,and told his children, with tears in his eyes, they mostgo there and work for their living [12, P.1]. Thesender from this actant is the change of Merchant'sfamily life. It becomes an activator of a subject to getan object in order to a receiver. There is a ship as ahelper to help the Merchant desire.A father should be responsible for his daughter.He is like a superhero who is without being asked willmake efforts to protect and support his child.Although his main responsibility is supporting hisfamily, a father should present the fundamentalqualities of leadership, responsibility, andaccountability, as well as the capabilities of planning,disciplining and loving.

Based on this actant, we can see thatthere is a father’s struggle to his family. He will doanything just for his family.

The Relationship BetweenFunctional StructuresActantandFrom the analysis above, there are 8 actant andfunctional structures. The main framework from thefairytale Beauty and The Beast, among them, isactant scheme 5. In actant and functional scheme 5,there is the key to the story. The Beast's deepestwishes are marrying Beauty but blocked by histerrible face. There are two opposing sites betweenhis desire and his real condition. When the Beastproposes Beauty, he knows what Beauty will say andrespond but he still determined to say it. There is nodoubt when the Beast proposes Beauty as if he wassure that Beauty is different from anyone elsebecause Beauty has no choice to accept his proposeor he will angry with Beauty's respond. But, Beautyis smart enough, she does not answer the Beast'sproposal directly. "Beast, you make me very uneasy,I wish I could consent to marry you, but I am toosincere to make you believe that will ever happen: Ishall always esteem you as a friend; endeavor to besatisfied with this." [12 ,P.10]This functional scheme becomes the mainfunctional because the core of the story seems to bethe strongest desire of one of the characters in thestory.It can demonstrate as follows:Initial situation: The Beast tries to approachBeauty to help him break the curse.Qualifying test of transformation: The Beastinvited Beauty to take dinner together every night.Main test of transformation: Three months passed,the Beast purpose Beauty to marry him. Glorifyingtest of transformation: Beauty always rejected theBeast's proposal.Initial situation:mBeauty returns to the Beast'spalace. She is looking for the Beast but she does notfind him. She is feared that she had been the cause ofhis death.Final situation: Beast asks her to never leave himeven though he has a terrible face for his lifetime.Qualifying test of transformation: She rancrying and wringing her hands all about the palace,like one in despair. She remembered her dream tofound where the Beast was dying. Main test oftransformation: She finds the Beast stretched, andas she imagined, dead. She threw herself upon himwithout any dread and finding his heartbeat. TheBeast is disappointed because he thinks that sheforgets her promise to return, and he resolved tostarve himself. Glorifying of transformation:Beauty feels sorry to the Beast after leaving himalone, and she does not want to lose the Beast. Beautysaid that she loved the Beast ad wanted to make theBeast her husband.The discussion of this paper shows the followingresults. After analyzing the actant and functionalstructure in Beauty and The Beast, there are 8 actantsschema and functional structure that develop thesestories. There are 4 actants which are not perfect, inactants 1, actant 2, actant 7 and actant 8 because itdoes not have all the required actant components.From 8 actants, the Beast has a more dominant roleas sender than an object meanwhile Beauty and theMerchant has a role as a subject more than the Beast.Final Situation: The Beast had disappeared andshe saw one of the loveliest princes that eye everIV. CONCLUSIONBased on the results of the relationship betweenactants and functional structure, it can be found anactant that becomes the main structure of the stories,is the Beast looking for his true love to break thecurse. He uses Beauty to fulfill his desire. But, his235
