Abstract

The object of this research is a novel entitled No Country for Old Men by Cormac Mc. Carty. This research aims to analyze the value of utilitarianism in Anton Chigurgh's character which is then analyzed using by deconstruction theory. This research uses a qualitative method with primary data taken from the novel in the form of narrative and dialogue. Secondary data was taken from various sources such as books, novels, journals and several reliable data which are believed to help this research. The data is then identified, classified, and reduced for deeper understanding. This study concluded two results. The first result is that the value of utilitarianism found in the depiction of the character Anton Chigurgh in the novel leads to characters such as welfarism and consequentialism. The second result is the discovery of a binary opposition which contrasts with the value of utilitarianism from the first result which is then interpreted and analyzed using deconstruction theory. From this research it can be concluded that there is an imbalance between the utilitarianism values obtained in the first analysis and the analysis obtained in the second results, proven by several contradictory characteristics. This imbalance proves that a villain character does not always have the courage to overcome obstacles and does not minimize the risks or consequences they will face in the future for their own actions. Keywords: Deconstruction, Binary Opposition, Cormac Mc. Carty, Utilitarianism
