Directive shows a relationship between speaker and hearer in which the speaker intends to make someone do something, namely “makes the world fit words” (Muhartoyo & Kristani, 2013, p. 952). The choice of politeness strategy in delivering directive is largely determined by social distance, relative power (social status), severity of the act and gender. By investigating directive utterances, this study aims to identify the politeness strategies used by female and male characters of different social classes and to find the types of directive speech act used by the above characters. The directive utterances of the two different genders are taken from four novels which consist of four different characters. Further, these novels are also specifically written by both male and female writers in order to naturally represent their traits. The male main characters were taken from The Crazy Rich Asians (2014) written by Kevin Kwan and The Messenger (2002) written by Markus Zusak. On the other hand, the female characters were taken from The Power Play (2014) written by Danielle Steel and The Cleaner of Chartes (2012) written by Salley Vickers. This study employed linguistic features proposed by Mullac, Bradac and Gibbons (2001) to determine the directive in the novels and adopted the theory of Politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987). This study also referred to the types of directive speech act theory postulated by Ervin-Tripp (1976). Finally, the criteria of social classes drawn in this study were based on Labov (2006). The result shows that 13 or 48 % of the 27 directive utterances produced by upper class female character are categorized as bald on record. Meanwhile, of the 20 directive utterances spoken by lower class female character there are 9 or 45 % of which can be classified as negative politeness. The finding also indicates that there are 32 or 62% directive utterances classified into bald-on-record strategy of the 52 directive utterances spoken by male upper class character. In addition, there are 43 or 84% directive utterances which can be categorized as bald-on-record strategy of 51 directive utterances spoken by the male lower character. In term of the types of directives, most of the upper and lower class characters are found to employ imperative type to deliver their directive utterances. Specifically, upper class male character is found to produce 42 or 80 % imperative utterances of 52 directives. Lower class male character is found to produce 42 or 82 % imperative utterances of 51 directives. On the other hand, upper female character is found to produce 16 or 59 % imperative utterances of 27 directives. Lastly, lower female character is found to produce 13 or 65% imperative utterances of 20 directives. The analysis of the politeness strategy, and the types of directive is certainly important in that it can provide a more natural representation of human’s life which is structurally different and context thus leading to different roles and their linguistic production.
