CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of the Study

Language is very important in our life, because language is used to express

our inner thoughts and emotion, to learn to communicate with others, to fulfill our

wants and needs, etc. In general, Languages can be exposed into two ways,

namely written language and spoken language. Written language can be found in

novel, newspaper, poetry, comic, etc, while spoken language can be found in

speech, dialogue, song, etc.

Nowadays, novel becomes very popular in society. People enjoy novel not

only as an entertainment, but also as a media in transferring information and

culture. Novel itself is a visual medium used to express ideas. The text in novel

indicates the dialogue, narration and other information. The characterization of the

main character in the novel cannot be separated from the novel because most of

the people read the novel because they want to know how the characterization of

the main character is.

A novel has an intrinsic element, however not all of the readers know

about it. Sometime the reader read the novel because they just want to know how

the story is, just because they want to refresh their mind by reading the novel.

In terms of studying literature on the reflection of human experience, the

writer deals with intrinsic elements of the work. Nurgiyantoro (2003:23) states

that intrinsic element such as theme, character and characterization, setting, plot,

(14)

The characterization of the character is very often drives the readers to be

interested to read the novel. However, sometime the readers find it difficult to

appreciate the technique of the characterizations in literary works especially in the

novel. Minderop (2005:6) says that there are two methods in developing a

characterization in a novel, they are: a) telling or direct method; and b) showing or

indirect method. She explains that telling method is when the author tells about

the characterization of a character directly but in showing method the author tells

it indirectly. So in showingmethod, we have to try to know it hardly.

With those explanations above, the writer is interested in analyzing the

characterization of The Land of Five Towers novel by Faudy based on intrinsic

element of the novel. The writer does this study because the writer is interested to

know more about the intrinsic element of this novel especially with the method

that is used by the author of the novel to develop the characterization of the main

character. It is interested because the writer realizes in our daily life, sometime

when we read a novel we do not know about how the author develops the

characterization of the main character because the author of the novel does not

describe the intrinsic novel and the characterization clearly.

The writer chose The Land of Five Towers novel as source data because

this novel is the one of the best seller novel in Indonesian, it also has won several

awards, including the 2010 Khatulistiwa Literary Award and the 2010 favorite

fiction and book from the Indonesian Readers Awards. The author of the novel

also was awarded The Liputan 6 Award SCTV for the education and motivation
