Infinity Representation of The One to The Other in the Movie The Beautiful Creature
This study aims to analyze the representation of “the other” in the movie Beautiful Creatures. Using a qualitative research method, the research explores how the concept of “the other” is depicted within the film. Emmanuel Levinas' Ethical theory provides a conceptual framework for this analysis. The primary objective is to understand how “the other" is represented in the movie. Data collection involved watching the film, taking screenshots, and categorizing relevant scenes. Data analysis focused on interpretation, identifying patterns of "othering," and drawing conclusions about its representation. The study's findings highlight Lena, the main character, as a portrayal of “the other." The film emphasizes "othering" through racial differences (human vs. Caster/which) and religious distinctions (Christianity vs. Non-religion). These elements contribute to the nuanced depiction of the "other."
