Me and Sylvia Plath, Jodoh?

Jika dulu saya sangat menyukai film Troy hingga gandrung untuk belajar mendalam tentang seluk beluk sejarah Troy, belajar siapa itu Achilles, Hector, dan Helen, sampai akhirnya saya memutuskan mengangkat novel The Iliad karya Homer untuk skripsi, saya menganggap ini adalah jodoh.
Nah sekarang ketika ada tugas membuat karya tulis tentang seorang sastrawan yang condong ke arah aliran tertentu, saya memilih Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). Mengapa?
karena Sylvia Plath ini adalah penulis beraliran anti-tradisi yang menelurkan banyak sekali puisi dan karya sastra yang rata-rata isinya mengkritisi tradisi yang dirasa tidak adil terutama untuk wanita dan anak-anak.
Saya sudah mengetahui beberapa karya Plath seperti “For a Fatherless Son” dan “Ariel” sejak beberapa bulan lalu. Buat saya pribadi, karya Plath sangat menarik karena ia berani mengkritisi tradisi yang ada. Dia berani bilang dalam salah satu karyanya yang terkenal, “The Applicant,” bahwa seorang istri hanyalah sebuah boneka. Boneka yang bisa bicara, bekerja, dll.
Hal anti-tradisi seperti ini sudah lama ada di pikiran saya. Hanya, saya lebih mengkritisi tentang budaya timur, terutama Indonesia yang sangat keluarga-sentris. Memang tidak semua, tapi ada dan menjurus. Misalkan:

  1. Jika seorang wanita dan laki-laki sudah menikah, maka masyrakat Indonesia beranggapan bahwa dua keluarga juga “menikah”. Saya setuju karena bagaimanapun saya dibesarkan di keluarga Indonesia. Tapi yang jadi masalah disini adalah, ketika semua anggota keluarga ikut campur. Coba kalau ada satu saja yang menikah tapi belum hamil juga, pasti digunjingkan kanan-kiri, ditanya “sudah isi belum?” “kapan mau punya anak?”.
  2. Kalau seorang wanita berusia 25+ dan belum menikah, pasti semua sudah heboh ditanya mama, papa, tante, om, pakdhe, budhe, dll dengan pertanyaan: “mana calonnya?” “kapan nikah?” eweeeeeee  :|
  3. Runtutan yang statis, dan jika melencenggg, sudah jadi bahan gunjingan diseluruh antero benua: sekolah-kuliah-lulus-menikah-punya anak!
  4. Daaaaaaannnnnnnn, yang paling saya benci ya ini, KESUKSESAN SEORANG LAKI-LAKI ADALAH KETIKA IA BERHASIL MEMPUNYAI ISTRI YANG CANTIK, FISIK! Ga peduli mau istrinya itu goblok, oon, apalah itu sebutannya. Maka laki-laki itu pasti akan dengan bangga menggandeng sang wanita dan PUAS dengan pandangan kagum dari sekitar terutama anggapan sukses dari keluarga. Oh well mungkin ini alasan banyak perempuan Indonesia membeli TjeF*k (no offense :p)

Empat hal tersebut masih beberapa saja dari semua hal yang saya pikirkan tentang sebuah TRADISI. Iya, mau atau tidak memang masih begitulah cara berpikir manusia di Negara ini. Bukan maksud saya ingin menghancurkan itu semua karena toh akan sia-sia dan tidak akan bisa.
Itulah mengapa saya suka sekali dengan karya Sylvia Plath yang secara tidak sengaja saya temukan ketika saya browsing tentang tradisi dan budaya. Kebetulan ada tugas akhir yang mengharuskan saya untuk menguatkan posisi seorang sastrawan di aliran tertentu. Ohh finally I choose Sylvia Plath dalam aliran anti-tradisi, karena mungkin kami mempunyai keresahan yang sama. Hanya Plath lebih jenius :p Jodoh?

I Want a Husband

Well hell-o folks, long time no see, huh? :D
okay, last week my lecturer gave me an essay called "I Want a Wife", here if you want to see the essay --> KLIK THIS. this is just crazy because the speaker is a wife but she wants a wife. wtf!
then my lecturer asked me and my friends to do the same but in the opposite side, we act as if we were a HUSBAND who wants a HUSBAND too, haha!
this is my work :D


I Want a Husband
As a matter of fact and as people in the whole world know, I belong to the classification as a husband. Yes, I am a husband. I have a wife and two sons.
Couple days ago my best friend came to my house. We both talked a lot about the reason why she divorced with his ex-husband. She told me that she wants to re-marry. She wants a new husband to protect her and her family. Then I suddenly think that I want a husband too. For holy God, why do I want a husband?
Okay, maybe the first thing I want to do is back to my college. If I have a husband, there will be someone who picks me up everyday without grumbling or complain about anything. So when I am tired of my school works, I can sleep inside the car because there is someone who drives for me all the time.
I want a husband who can earns a lot of money. So I don’t have to worry about how much money I spend everyday or how much money that we have to save because my husband earns the same salary as much as me. So we both can have fun without worrying how much money left in our wallet. And the most important thing is I don’t have to worry that he would steal money in my wallet when I fall asleep like the most wife in the world does.
Also, I want a husband as family protector who can fully protects my family from every threats from the strangers. I want a strong man for rescue me and my kids whenever the bad things happened. This will happen to me if I have a husband.
I have two sons, I want a husband who would like to teach my sons play soccer or basketball, or any man’s activities when I have to go to work. When I have a duty at the weekend, I want my sons are not losing their dad-son times, I mean, I want my sons keep their relationship to their father well when I am not around. I want a husband who can help me fix the household because sometimes I feel tired when I come home then all the things in my house in a mess. Oh God!
I want a husband who will not complain me about what time should I come home. After home from work, sometimes I need a time to hang out with my friends in a pub, not for drunk but yeah maybe one or two gulps is okay. I want a husband who will not complain if I come home late because of that reason.
I want a husband who knows exactly my sexual demands. Who will approve my every desire whenever I want it. I want a husband who loves me tender and eternally with his every kiss, hug, and his barely touch. I want a husband who sensitively knows how to get my attention when I am not in the mood. I want a husband who will always tell me that I am worth for him for the rest of his life. I want a husband who always spoils me anytime and anywhere. I want a husband who always tells me he loves me even when I grey and old and would never leave me. I want a husband who will always tells me that he would grow old with me and stays with me forever. I want a husband that would say that he is proud having a life partner like me.
So, from all of those reasons above, who wouldn’t have a husband?


what do you think about my essay? haha
