People implicitly learn gender-appropriate traits. Girls are forced to wear pink clothes and play with dolls. On the other hand, boys are forced to wear blue clothes and play with robots. Girls should be pretty, and boys should be cool and strong. If a boy likes pink clothes and playing dolls, it is considered something needs to be corrected. According to the biological sex, a gender stereotypes are assigned. Learners have no choice but to get used to the dichotomous classification of men and women rather than the concept of gender due to the characteristics and qualities that society grants to individuals are limited to roles of male and female, even if there are various types of gender in the world. However, it is no longer able to divide them in the two gender roles because of the fact that the society we are living in now is rapidly becoming more diverse and complex. Therefore, it is necessary to provide educational opportunities for learners who are in the process of growth to build their own values and gender identities so that they can be free from the dichotomy and develop their desirable gender consciousness. Feminism raise an issue of the view that gender roles are fixed. However, gender is defined as something can be understood and expressed in all different ways by individuals. Since the dichotomous has the view that there are only two divisions; ‘woman and man’ and ‘femininity and masculinity’, feminism argue that we need to get out of it because it tends to lead to a hierarchical structure in society. It should be viewed as a valuable being as a human being. Human beings should develop their own identity by making their choices being away from one’s gender, social system, and any values set by majority. It should be considered with mindset of understanding, respecting, and acknowledging for all those differences instead of giving strange looks. This is the ultimate goal of feminism. The concept of gender in classic novels is expressed more fixed way than any other period in contrast with what feminism is aiming for. Women in classic novels often appear as sacrifices within the family or as supporting others rather than their own lives. It is because that the main background of classic novel is the patriarchal system which is caused of gender inequality especially in the female heroes novels. It is the reason the main female character have experienced confrontations and conflicts due to the social restrictions on the way of life she pursues. The content of these classic novels needs to be taught with caution because there is a risk that learners will accept the views that women as inferior and the male-centered view without criticism. Therefore, this paper intends to suggest a new direction for the education of female hero novels with the goal of what feminism pursues. Among the feminist perspectives, I would like to focus on ‘gender’ and analyze the female hero novels and , which reveal various gender identities. I will also find the inherent meaning of gender educational values from the two novels to educate effectively over the thoughts. Analyzing classical novels through the perspective of gender will reveal various aspects of lives which is not relevant with biological performance. In addition, it will enable learners to criticize and accept the patriarchal social system and fixed gender stereotypes according to reality, and have an attitude of self-reflection. Furthermore, it will make people look at others as a being who makes independent choices to live the life they want, not as a being fixed by gender roles.
