Abstract
This study attempts to apply the systemic functional grammar to discover a fairy tale in terms of Theme- Rheme system. Based on Mark Halliday’s theory of systemic functional grammar, the study focuses on the analysis of a fairy tale called “the princess and the pea” as a text in terms of the textual metafunction in the realization of Theme-Rheme pattern. The two principal methods employed in this study are descriptive and analytical methods. The findings showed that in terms of Theme-Rheme pattern, unmarked topical theme is the most noticeable feature of the text and the analysis also revealed how the author develops the text. This study proves that systemic functional grammar is truly a useful analytical tool for those whose concern is for the structure and meaning of a particular text.
