The main aim of this research is to find out the meaning of a true
Geisha. The problem statements in this thesis are, (1) “how Arthur Golden
represented a true Geisha in his work “, (2) “are there the changes of meaning
of Geisha in the work of Arthur Golden “
This research is consisted of 35 chapters on the novel Memoirs of a
Geisha by Arthur Golden as the sample. To get the data, this research used the
feminism approach to deconstruct the meaning of true Geisha, because when
we talked about women, one of theories which commonly appear is feminism.
Besides that, the writer read the novel of Memoirs of a Geisha as the main
source of the data, and then to analyze this data, the writer used descriptive
method which described accurately the meaning of a true Geisha.
The implication of this research is that in deconstructing the text, we
could use our own interpretation to describe the text itself. This research tells
us some meanings from a true geisha based on the novel. We can see that a
true Geisha is totally different from the prostitute. Besides that, we also can see
the meaning of Geisha is deconstructed in the novel between the common
meaning and the interpretation of Arthur as the author of the novel
