Abstract

This study is comparing women’s betrayal in two novels, Wild Swans a novel by Jung Chang and the Patience Stone a novel by Atiq Rahimi. The fact that Chinese’ women and Afghan women’s share the common issue, that is patriarchal one, the former faces the superior communist party, whilst, the latter faces the Mullah, the influential spiritual leader. Then, the women’s betrayal is worthy of analysis. The word ‘betrayal’ turns out to have a positive connotation instead of a negative one as heard in everyday life. Using descriptive and dramatic method, the study finds that both women in both novels have similarities and differences in their betrayal seen from the way they speak as well as act. In the similarities, both women betray the powerful people and their husbands, whilst, the differences are that people in power refer to the political parties in Wild Swans, a novel by Jung Chang, to the Mullah, a religious leader in the Patience Stone, a novel by Atiq Rahimi besides the husband is loyal to the political party in Wild Swans and to the religious teaching in the Patience Stone. Eventually, comparing women’s betrayal is worth a study since their betrayal gives a new life concept that women should play important roles in society not just men.

Abstract

This study conducts a comparison of two characters that bring the main characters into a terrible fate, the curse, in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Horace Walpole’s the Castle of Otranto. Using New Criticism theory, Miner’s comparative literature and close reading method, the study shows that though both characters in the novels are categorized as brutal leaders, however, Okonkwo is more brutal than Manfred shown in the diagram which has five kinds of crime than Manfred, only one crime. The former heartlessly takes the head of the enemy home and drinks the blood and kills the innocent kid and his family because they are weak people as well as regret for the society change instead of killing the kids and the family, whilst Manfred only kills somebody else and regret for his daughter as the off target. Accordingly, Okonkwo gets the curse more sorrowful by killing himself than Manfred who only mourns for his murdered daughter. The study then is worth a conduct as it has a novelty of the excluded theory in the previous studies and gives the researcher moral lesson that character can determine our future life.
