KAJIAN STRUKTURNOVEL DARI JAWA BARAT

Abstract

The researcher examined three novels from West Java, all three of which came from Sumedang Regency, namely the novel Harisbaya Bersuami Dua Raja, Hanjuang di Kutamaya, and Raden Jamu, Mutiara Menak Sumedang. The research entitled "Study of Novel Structure from West Java" was designed through a qualitative analytical description method. The study focuses on the structure of story builders, the similarity of plot and characterization, as well as the responses of high school students in class X to Novel in West Java. The study theory used by the researcher is a structural study which includes characterization, setting, plot, linguistic elements, point of view, mandate and theme.

In general, novels develop in various regions in all corners of Indonesia and even the world. Until now, this tradition has become one of the cultural heritages that has been maintained, especially if the novel raises a historical story or a true story. In a small scope, Sumedang as part of the Sundanese Tatar has a number of diverse stories, but in modern times, the existence of novels that raise history in the story is rarely introduced to be studied and taught in the community, especially in schools. The novels Harisbaya Berhusband Dua Raja, Hanjuang di Kutamaya, and Raden Jamu, Mutiara Menak Sumedang can be used as a reference for the public that this book deserves to be appreciated from the structure that explores the information and values contained in it, so that it is able to provide lessons for human life. Literary works based on local wisdom are also rarely found today, so this is one of the reasons why it is important for writers to review works with the theme of local wisdom so that later they can stimulate writers and readers. The novel describes the author's views on social life events, one of which is about the local wisdom of the community towards customs in Sumedang Regency. The novels that the author raised in this research are all three themed about traditions and customs in Sundanese Tatars, especially Sumedang Regency. The reason why the author chose Novel from Sumedang Regency is due to several factors, including that the author is domiciled in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency and works at SMAN Situraja, Sumedang Regency.
