Abstract
ABSTRACT The number of domestic violence is 50% out of violence against woman cases in Indonesia. It is intriguing and there must be a reason behind that. One of the ways that can be used to reflect on this subject is through theater, an art form that can discuss and inspire a necessary social change or agenda. Therefore, applying textual analysis method on A Story of Wounds, a play�with-music by Jessie Monika, I would like to find the core problem of domestic violence as portrayed there. I utilize Bourdieu�s capital, habitus, and field theory to prove that inequality between the wife and the husband is caused by the deeply rooted patriarchy values which create power imbalance that opensthe opportunity for domestic violence toward women and perceive the act more as a logical consequence of a marital relationship instead of a crime. The power imbalance is, however, not a permanent state and can be altered by the people around the victim and, in turn, the victim herself.
