Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Seri Rama is a protagonist character in the repertoire of Hikayat Seri Rama which is performed in Wayang Kulit Kelantan. However, this protagonist character is a fine character that holds high feminine attributes. Therefore, to characterize these feminine attributes, gender schema theory is used as a reference by utilizing Bem Sex-Role Inventory as the quantifying measurement tool. There are three assessment techniques to analyze the feminine attributes, however this research analyses the feminine attributes of Seri Rama through the movements conducted by the dalang (puppeteer) during the performance. The movements of gambalan (puppets) have distinct differencesmbetween each gambalan and this shows that every characters has its own identity.These observed feminine attributes shows that a ruler like Seri Rama holds feminine traits.
