INTRODUCTION
In my analysis I will analyze the main female character in Lady Eleanore's Mantle by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The woman's nature must be respected, because the woman is noble. But, if a woman is overly valued it will make her proud and arrogant. As we know, the female character is divided into 2 kinds, namely the protagonist and antagonist. In this paper, I focus on analysis the antagonist character of Lady Eleanore's Mantle by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The antagonist characters commonly, in a fictional story, are the opposition characters for the protagonists. The antagonists will be the ones that create a conflict of the story. However, there are some cases that the conflict is not created by an antagonist character individually, but by other factors such as accident, natural disaster, moral value, etc. These conflict causes that are not caused individually by a character are called antagonistic force (Altenbernd & Lewis, 1966:59).
Lady Eleanore is a very beautiful and rich girl, and also has a high position in the community. Because of that, making Lady Eleanore become a proud and disparage figure of other people. But because of her arrogance at the end of the story, Lady Ele*anore died horribly because it caused the community left her alone. At the end of her death, when the lady Eleanore realized her mistake, Jervase Helwise (the young man who loved her but was underestimated by Lady Eleanore) met her but only to make Eleanore regret her mistakes in the past. Lady eleanore's character here often happens around us. Beautiful, rich, and highly educated girls will usually arise when a person like that is treated special by the people around her. Because she felt that nothing would be equal to her level. Here it appears that the writer (Nathaniel Hawthorne) wants to deliver the nature of women which tends to occur a lot in society and the writer also says that the end of being a proud person will not happy.
Allan Poe in Nurgiyanto in Regina Bernadette said short stories are interpreted as short readings that can be read once sitting in half to two hours, the genre has a single effect, characters, plots, and settings are limited, not diverse and not complex. The short story writer doesn't describe the ins and outs of the character's life as a whole, but only show important parts of the life of the character who functions to support the story which also aims to save the story writer because of the limited space available. And Turayev in Regina Bernadette argue short stories form narrative literary works that show a reflection of an episode in the life of a character.
The other statement, Stanton (2012:76) said short stories must be in solid form, in which the author creates character, their universe, and their actions simultaneously. But, in Kosasih (2004:431) argument, he said short stories are short essays in the form of prose. In short stories, a piece of the character's life is told, which is full of conflicts, touching or pleasent events, and contains the impression that the reader is not easily forgotten.
Acoording by Purba (2010:48), HB Jassin in his book namely "Tifa Poets and Regions" suggests that short stories are short stories (1977:69) Jassin further reveals that about this short story people may fight, but stories that are one hundred pages long are certainly it is not called a short story and indeed there is no such short story. A story that is ten or twenty pages long can still be called a short story but there are also short stories that are only one page long. Saunders, (1977:126) explains that the characters are real and distinct properties shown by individuals, a number of attributes that can be observed in individuals. But Gulo W, (1982:29) notes that the chracter is a personality in terms of ethical or moral standpoint, for example a person's honesty, usually having to do with the properties that are relatively fixed. Kamisa (1997:281) reveals that the character is a psychiatric traits, morals or character that distinguish one person from another, character, character. Character means to have character, has a personality. In dictionary female character is a woman who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities: the chief female character in a story, play, movie, etc.

Portrayal
In dictionary an actor's portrayal of a character in a play or film is the way that he or she plays the character. The portrayal of something in a book is the act of describing it may be showing it. A humiliation or estimation of someone or something in a work of art or literature.

METHOD
In this research using descriptive approach as the method. Descriptive method is used to describe the specific behavior of the main character, like happens in the environment. According by Whitney (1960:160) descriptive method is the search for facts with the right interpretation. The purpose of a descriptive method is to check a phenomenon that is happening at a specific place and time.
The analysis such of three different points of view. First, the focus is on the visual portrayal of the characters and the behavior of the character. Second, the focus here is on the language the characters themselves use and the language used about the characters, and the characters sociability, which examines whether the female characters talk to each other or not, and if they do, what it is that they talk about. Third, the portrayal of the charaters is analysed character's role.
From the method above, we can conclude the descriptive method as a research method. This method describes the problem or case that is showing based on available facts, specific, then investigated to solve the problem and get the conclusions.

A few days later after receiving atribute from the Governor, Lady Elenaore and The principal Gentry of the colony wa invited to a party. But when there, Lady Eleanore didn't join the others. She just wanted to gather with people she considered respectable.
"But, Lady Eleanore, I pray you to take one sip of this holy wine, and then to pass the goblet round among the guests. And this shall be asymbol that you have ot sought to withdraw yourself from the chain of human sympathies-which whoso would shake off must keep company with fallen angles." (Lady Eleanore's Mantle : 1838, p.5).
Suddenly when Lady Eleanore was sitting and closing her eyes, someone comes to Lady Eleanore offering drinks that are considered sacred, the man is Jervase Helwyse.
"Pray gentleman, do my poor admirer no harm, " said Lady Eleanore, with a faint and weary smile. "Take him out of my sight, if such be your pleasure; for I can find in my heart to do nothing but laugh at him! " (Lady Eleanore's Mantle : 1838, p.5).
But because it, made Lady Eleanore and Jervase Helwyse accused of stealing. finally Jervase is forced to leave the party because of Eleanore's request.

When forced to leave the party, Jervase Helwyse asked Lady Eleanore to release and burn the robe she was wearing for her safety. But Lady Eleanore remained arrogant responding to Jervase's words. "Cast it from you! " Exclaimed Jervase Helwyse, clasping his hands in an agoncy of entreaty. "It may not yet be too late! Give the accursef garment to the flames!" (Lady Eleanore's : 1838, p.6).
Lady Eleanore, with a laugh of scorn, drew the rich files of the embroided mantle over her head, in such a fashion as to give a completely new aspect to her beautiful face, which-half hidden, belong to some being of mysterious character and purposes. (Lady Eleanore's Mantle : 1838, p.6).
But Lady Eleanore remained arrogant responding to Jervase's words. She thought Jervase's words had exceeded the limit, because he dared to order her.
He made no more resitance to the violent efforts of the gentleman and servants, who almost dragged him out of the apartment, and dismissed him roughly from the iron gate of the Province House... (Lady Eleanore's Mantle : 1838, p.6).
Because of his courage in Lady Eleanore, Jervase Helwyse was finally fired and expelled from Province House.
It had been traced back to a Lady's luxurious chamber-to the proudest of the proud-to her that was so delicate, and hardly owned herself og earthly mould-to the haughty one, who took her stand above human sympathies-to Lady Eleanore!. (Lady Eleanore's Mantle : 1838, p.8).
One day the existence of eleanore was searched, and it was found that he was lying on his luxury bed in a weak state and suffering from a disease. the disease caused by the eleanore's arrogance began to spread outside.
This dark tale, whispered at first, was now bruited far and wide. The people raved against the Lady Eleanore, and cried out that her pride and scorn had evoked a fiend, and that, between them both, this monstrous evil had been born. (Lady Eleanore's Mantle: 1838, p.8).

O Jervase Helwyse, " I wrapped myself in PRIDE as in a MANTLE, and scorned the sympathies of nature; and therefore has nature made this wretched body the medium of a dreadful sympathy.
