Abstract

In the past, metaphor was considered exclusive for written work such as rhetoric and poetry. However, as many metaphor scholars explored metaphor
deeper, it can be found in daily life as well such as advertisement, comics, spoken
language including film. An American Tail is one of animated film which uses
metaphor to convey meaning. The aims of this thesis are to describe the intrinsic
aspects and to describe how the American dream is depicted through metaphors and
how american dream is presented in the film. To analyse the implied American
dream, multimodal metaphor theory by Charles Forceville is applied. The results of
the studies are american dream is depicted through personification, dialogue of
characters and analogy whereas the attitude of the film towards american dream is
positive however good personality is needed in order to reach the dream.
