This study discusses the deconstruction of death in “In Memoriam” written by Alfred Lord Tennyson. This study tries to challenge the centralized meaning of the book of poetry “In Memoriam”, death is a scary experience for human. The author uses the deconstruction theory developed by Derrida. This deconstruction theory tries to replace the centralized-meaning contained in a literary work. There are three stages to apply the theory of deconstruction in this research. The stages are the reconstruction stage, the deconstruction stage, and the reinscription stage. The method used in this research is a qualitative method. The data that has been found comes from quotation in the poetry book "In Memoriam". The result of the deconstruction reading is the discovery of "another meaning", the author finds death is the beginning of immortality. This "another meaning" succeeded in refuting the position of centralized meaning in "In Memoriam".

“…Initially appeared in Charles Perrault's work entitled Sleeping Beauty in 1697, the Grim Brothers retold Maleficent as an evil fairy who cursed Princess Aurora as a sleeping beauty (Cardoso & Fonseca, 2020;Widyahening & Wardhani, 2021). Maleficent's powerful yet evil traits were maintained in Disney's animated version released in 1959 (Widyahening & Wardhani, 2021). Widyahening and Wardhani (2021) also said that in the story Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is depicted wearing black clothes with pale green skin, yellow eyes, bright red lips, and a long chin.…”

Although Maleficent’s characterizations as wicked witch by the first Disney’s adaptation into Maleficent in 2014, the beginning of the 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil started with a prologue that Maleficent was narratively still considered evil, from which the plot evolves to reveal how the marginalizing characterization prevailed. Amidst this entanglement between the film’s plot and Maleficent’s character revelation, the present study aimed at elaborating Maleficent’s characterizations as an affectionate fey. The present study employed McKee’s (2003) textual analysis to observe Maleficent’s characterizations along the plot development, to reveal how the film portray Maleficent’s affectionate dispositions despite her formidable strength and appearance. The study concludes that Maleficent affections are highlighted through her actions toward the moors and the marginalized, as well as her blessings for Prince Phillip, underlining her willingness to admit her misjudgment and to repent because of her love for Aurora. This finding implies that the film’s plot development strongly relies on Maleficent’s character development facilitated by her strong affection as a surrogate mother.Although Maleficent’s character as a wicked witch has been deconstructed by the first Disney's adaptation of Maleficent in 2014, the beginning of the 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil started with a prologue that Maleficent was narratively still considered evil, from which the plot evolves to reveal how her marginalizing traits prevailed.

The present study employed McKee’s (2003) textual analysis to observe Maleficent’s character development along the plot development to reveal how the film portrays Maleficent's growing affectionate dispositions despite her formidable strength and appearance. The study concludes that Maleficent's affections are highlighted through her loving, nurturing, and protective traits toward Aurora, the creatures of the Moors, other feys, and humans. With the depiction of these traits, Maleficent emerged as an affectionate Fey in human's eyes. They eliminate the prejudice against Maleficent, the feys, and the fairies, fostering a harmonious life between humans, the feys, and the fairies.
