The purpose of this research is to figure out what kind of stylistic used in the
song lyric of I Want To Break Free by The Queen. This research is designed to
identify some figure of speech by understanding the general meaning when they
are used in written literary work. For this research, the researcher uses the
descriptive explanation to describe the result of this research. Descriptive research
is used to explain some information that contained the meaning of words, phrases
or sentences which have relation with other words and context. In analyzing the
data, the researcher analyzed every stylistic or figure of speech that are found in
the song lyric and drew conclusion based on the result of data analysis. In finding
and discussion there were found 12 figures of speech. They are Imagery,
Anaphora, Aliteracy, Cynicism, Irony, Epizeuxis, Litotes, Repetition,
Anadiplosis, Paradox, personification, and Metaphor. The most stylistic used in
this lyric based on the finding and discussion is Imagery and Anaphora. The
purpose of the author to use mostly imagery and anaphora is probably to
emphasize his desire to stop or cut the girl to be satisfied on herself. The author is
the practitioner of patriarchy while he has a girl who practices the gender equality
(Feminism) and he couldn‘t stand for it anymore. He wants to be free from
feminism without losing his girl.
