This research presents a stylistic analysis of a short story entitled The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck. At the grammatical level, transitivity is employed to achieve the objective of this research. This research is conducted to observe the transitivity process in the short story. By using the transitivity process, this research reveals the portrayal of the main female character. This research applies a qualitative method based on the type of data collected in this research. Based on the findings, there are six types of transitivity processes found, they are material, mental, relational, verbal, existential, and behavioural. Material process portrays the masculine manner of Elisa Allen, Mental process shows the boundaries between Elisa and her husband in their productive outlet, Relational process represents the masculinity in Elisa’s appearance, Verbal process represents Elisa as a straightforward person, Existential process expresses Elisa’s responsibility in fulfilling her husband’s needs, and Behavioral process represents Elisa as a sensitive figure. The dominance of the material process emphasizes Elisa’s way of defending herself from an environment that does not value her. Thus, the research findings concluded that Elisa Allen represents a woman who tries to express herself but is often not appreciated in a world dominated by men.Keywords: female character, SFL, stylistics, transitivity

This paper investigates the progression of the narrative and the psychological and emotional development of the major character in Home They Brought her Warrior Dead by applying Halliday’s theory of transitivity. Transitivity patterns are useful to study the link between languages and thought The study will pave the way to understanding the inner feelings of the widow, which are concealed by the poet by using different linguistic choices. In the first two stanzas of the poem, the widow does not show any sign of movement, whereas, in the third and fourth stanzas of the poem, action, and movement become the focus. Thus, there is a subtle narrative progression from the first two stanzas to the last two stanzas of the poem. The present study is a contribution to the field of Systematic Functional Linguistics and lexico-grammatical analysis, which originate with the frameworks of stylistics and foregrounded approaches to texts. However, Transitivity analysis is markedly different from traditional analysis as in the former approach text analysis is an explanatory activity (how a text means?), whereas, in the latter, the analysis is esteemed as an interpretive activity (what a text means?). The study is significant because it provides an analytical and objective tool for exploring meanings from the text by studying the relationship between the metafunctions and grammatical system, between the cultural context and the schematic structure of the text.
