CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Definition of Novel
The definition of the novel according to Abrams (1999:190), the term “novel” is now applied to great variety of writing that have in common only the attribute of being extended works of fiction written in prose. As an extended narrative, the novel is distinguished from the short story and form the work of middle length called the novelette; its magnitude permits a greater variety of characters, greater complication of plot (or plots ) ampler development of milieu, and more sustained exploration of character and motives than do the shorter, more concentrated modes.
Novels don’t present a documentary picture of life. Alongside the fact that novel look at people in society the other major characteristic of the genre is novel tell a story. In fact, novel to tell the same few stories repeatedly. Robert defines novel have many elements, which contain character, plot, theme, setting, point of view, and style. These elements are related to each other and will construct a story in the novel.
2.2 Intrinsic Elements
Intrinsic elements of a novel is very important element and vital in a literary work because of the absence of an intrinsic elements of the work will not be created. Elements which in fact would be found if we read a literary work is an intrinsic elements of the elements that directly participate in or build the story of the intrinsic elements are the elements of building works of literature that can be found in the literary text itself. Coherence between the various elements that make an intrinsically novel realized. The elements intended are the theme, characters, plot, setting, and point of view.
2.2.1 Theme
The theme of a fiction is the controlling idea of the whole story that may conclude what story is about. Harcourt Brave Jovanovich (1974:102) states the theme of a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. It is the unifying generalization about life stated or implied by the story. To derive the theme of a story, people must ask what its central purpose is : what view of life it supports or what insight into life it reveals.
only discuss that particular theme. In an interpretive fiction, theme is the purpose of the story. Harcourt Brave Jovanovich (1974:102) stated that:
In many stories the theme may be equivalent to the revelation human character… The theme of a story, like is plot, may be stated very briefly or at grater length. With a simple or very brief story, we may be satisfied to sum up the theme in a single sentences… A rich story will give us many and complex insight into life. In stating the theme in a sentences, we must pick the central insight, the one that explains the greatest number of elements in the story and relates them to each other. For theme is what gives a good story its unity.
The story may bring the reader some insight into life that they had not had before so it will expand their knowledge, or it may make then feel some truths of which they have long been merely intellectually aware. There are six principles that the reader must remember when they want to decide a theme of a story as shown by Laurence Perrine.
1. Theme must be expressible in the form of a statement with a subject and a predicate.
2. The theme must be stated as a generalization about life.
3. People must be careful not to make the generalization larger than is justified by terms of the story.
4. Theme is the central and unifying concept of the story. 5. There is no one way of stating the theme of a story.
2.2.2 Plot
At one time in the development of the novel, plot predominated, stories were often thought of as forms of pure entertainment and one spoke of a good plot or a compelling plot.
Plot is an important element of fiction or literary work; even most of the readers consider it as the most important element among other elements of fiction. Such a structure even arising out of a conflict maybe called the plot of the story. As if many terms used in literary discussions, plot is blessed with several meanings. Sometimes it refers simply to the events in a story. Plot is the artistic arrangement of those events ( Kennedy, 1991:7 )
Stanton states the plot of a story consist of even order, but each event is only connected with causality, one event caused or causer the others. Therefore, Kenny stated that plot is event shown in a story which is not simple, because the authors arranged them according to causality.
The existence of the plot itself is decide by three essential elements: events, conflict, and climax. According to Luxemburg, “Peristiwa merupakan peralihan dari satu keadaan ke keadaan yang lain” (Nurgiyantoro, 1998:117), this means that events can be meant as a change of one situation to the others. While, Wellek and Warren stated that conflict is a dramatic thing, direct to competition between two balanced powers and shows action and reaction.
On the other hand, another event that may happen as the result of conflict happened.
According to Stanton, “Klimaks adalah saat konflik telah mencapai tingkat intensitas tertinggi, dan hal itu tidak dapat dihindari kejadiannya” (Nurgiyantoro, 1998:127), which means that climax happens when conflict had reached level of the highest intensity and it cannot be avoided. It means the climax must happen it is the meeting point between two or more situation which is contrary and decides how the problem will be solved.
In a story, plot contains the elements of time order; either it is given explicitly or implicitly. Therefore there are earlier events, next events and the ending in a story. However, the plot in a fiction seldom serves events order chronologically and harmoniously, but it can be started and ended by whatever events. So that, the earlier step must not be at the beginning of story or text, but it can be wherever the authors wants.
had been happened to the characters reached culminating points. The main character who has subject and object of conflict will realize the climax. A long fiction may be has more than one climax. Finally, the denouement‘s step, in which conflict and contrast that had reached climax are being solved and made clear. However, actually, the author did not arrange these five step chronologically.
2.2.3 Character
characterization must also observe three other principles. First, the characters must be consistent in their behavior they must not behave one way on one occasion and differently on another unless there is a clearly sufficient reason for the change. Second, the characters must be clearly motivated in whatever they do, especially when there is any change in their behavior. People must be able to understand the reason for what they do, if not immediately, at least by the end of the story. Third, the characters must be plausible or lifelike. They must be neither paragons of virtue nor monster of evil nor an impossible combination of contradictory traits. Whether people have observed anyone like them in their own experience or not, people must feel that they have come from the author’s experience, that they could appear somewhere in the normal course of events.
According to Perrine (1974:68-69), there are two kinds of characters in a story:
2. Round character: They are complex and many sides; they might require an essay for full analysis, round characters live by many points at which they touch life.
There are several kinds of characters according to dr. Andrew Leng (2000:18):
1. Protagonist is the central character in a story, the one who is
written about most often.
2. Antagonist is the person with whom the protagonist is in conflict
sometimes the antagonist persecutes the protagonist.
3. Hero/Heroine is a protagonist with an outstanding qualities, such
as moral, spiritual, or intellectual qua lities.
4. Villain is an antagonist who is evil, cruel, scheming and dangerous
but just being obnoxious or unpleasant does not make a character a villain.
The character can also be divided into round and flat character based on their development in the story. The flat characterized by one or two traits and he can be simply concluded into a sentence, while round character is more complicated.
2.2.4 Setting
in a literary work. Setting is a supporting base; it refers to definition of place, relation of time, and sometime social surrounding when some events take place in a literary work.
The change of the setting can be used to judge the character of the protagonist or antagonist in order to reveal how they behave in a new circumstance (Andrew Leng, 2000:80). It has an impact on character and conflict directly or indirectly, it also support and emphasizes the meaning of the story. Its most important function is to make us feel present in the world that the characters inhabit. The more the readers can visualize, the more they participate, the more satisfying the experience. Frank Madden (2002:89) stated:
Location tells us where and when the story is taking place… Both the where and when will strongly influence the values and behavior of the characters and color the rest of the story… The atmosphere in a story arises from the mix of location and variable circumstances, such as the personalities present, the conflict, time of day, season, and even the weather. An effectively rendered atmosphere help us see and experiences concrete details of the setting as if we were present. It supports and complements the conflict and characters and helps to convey the story’s meaning.
Hamalian and Karl state that setting encompasses not only the usual quantities of time and place, as well as the element loosely called background, but also aspects of atmosphere, a series, of details, nuances, and gestures which is give a certain shape of theme and plot.
to give realistic impression to the reader, creates a certain situation at a glance it is really happened so that, the readers feel easier to operate their imagination and participate to criticize the story generally.
Setting can be classified in two elements which offer different problem, but they influence each other:
1. Setting of place: It is a located where some events take place, and it’s told in a fictitious work, example: some place with certain names, certain initial or location. The success of setting of place is more determined by accuracy of description, function, and connection with other setting elements.
2. Setting of time: It related with time when some events take places in a fictitious work. Then time is exploited to give impression to the readers as if the story is really happened.
From the concept above, the writer can summarized that setting is one of literary work elements which covers all of the information, instruction, and reference which is related with time, space, and situation that happen in a literary work.
2.2.5 Point of View
1. Omniscient.
The story is told by the author using the third person. The writer’s knowledge and prerogatives are unlimited, he fully controls his characters, he knows everything about his characters. Here, the writer is like God who makes a story according to his will. The writer will write the character’s thought and feeling into his story from the omniscient point of view. It is most flexible point of view and permits the widest scope. If the writer wants to use this point of view, he must have a good skill because if he does not, it will destroy the illusion of reality that the story attempts to create and it will ruin the coherence and unity.
2. Limited Omniscient
The story is told by the author using the third person but he tells it from the view point of one character only from the story. Basically it is same with the omniscient point of view but the writer only focuses one character in the story. The writer will describe many things about the character’s feeling, thought, spoken, seen, heard, etc. The character chosen by the writer to describe can be major or minor character. This point of view offers limited observation because the reader will only focus on the chosen character.
3. First Person
major or minor or even an observer and then he will tells the whole story form the body of that chosen character. First person point of view shares the virtues and limitation of the limited omniscient, it offers a good opportunity to tell a dramatic irony story and for studies in limited human perceptivity.
4. Objective
The story is told by a kind of roving sound camera as the representation of the author. In this point of view the writer tells or shows the story trough a kind of moving sound camera, it can go anywhere but only record what is seen and heard. This camera just the shoot the story and action done by the all characters. From this point of view the reader becomes the spectators of a movie or a play. There is no explanation about the character’s feeling and thought. It has the most speed and action it also forces the reader to interpret the story by himself.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Literature is essentially a creation, a creation isn’t an imitation (in Luxemburg 1989:5). Literature as the shape and result of a creative work, is essentially a medium that uses language to reveal about human life. Therefore, a literary work in general contains about issues surrounding human life. Emerging literature is born against the background of encouragement of basic human existence to reveal himself. (in Sarjidu, 2004:2)
The literary works can be divided into three types, they are: poetry, prose and drama. To appreciate them, we have to understand or to comprehend and enjoy in other words we can judge the value of the literary works. In order to understand and enjoy the literary works, someone should read them again and again, try to understand them, then analyze or judge the value of them then communicate the result of judgement to others. According to Roberts and Jacobs (2004:1) literature in broad sense is to mean compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, analyze and advocate ideas.
Five Towers is the first book in a trilogy written by A. Fuadi a former TEMPO & VOA reporter, photography buff, and a social entrepreneur. This novel is inspired by a true story. The writer takes it because it is very entertaining. The story tells about family, simple life of people, culture, love, dreams and friendship.
