Abstract

Pawongan in Tri Hita Karana is a universal value that functions as a foundation for character education, particularly in shaping children to behave ethically and develop social awareness. Introducing positive values through Pawongan-based character education is not enough, because children also need to be introduced to actions that violate Pawongan values, so that they know which actions are wrong and as guidance for not doing those actions. This study aims to introduce these violating actions through an analysis of Edmund Pevensie's characterization in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe novel by C.S. Lewis that violates Pawongan values. This study used an interactive qualitative data analysis model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which includes data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of the study showed that Edmund Pevensie violates Pawongan values through selfish, betrayal, bullying, and dishonesty actions towards his siblings, which have an impact on damaged social relationships and decreased trust given by his siblings. This research is expected to enrich local wisdom-based character education in children's literature and encourage future research to explore further world literary works that contain local values.

Abstract

This present study explored the representation of environmental harmony in Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis through the lens of local framework, Palemahan derived from Balinese philosophy called Tri Hita Karana. Former studies in Prince Caspian mostly utilized moral, religious, or western eco-critical perspectives, that tend to view environments or nature as objects that need to be protected or managed, while overlooking local philosophical views that regard nature as a living and sacred partner in human existence. This study therefore applies Palemahan as an alternative interpretative lens, employing qualitative interpretive data analysis with an interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The data were obtained from a close reading of the 2008 HarperCollins e-book of Prince Caspian, focusing on Lucy Pevensie’s characterization and her interactions with the natural environment. The findings show Lucy’s engagement with the environment reflects Palemahan values through the affectionate gesture, respect, and emotional connection rather than obligation or domination. Her relationship with the environment emerged from the harmonious feeling from within, aligned with the Palemahan view that see nature carries a sacred presence.  Conceptually, this study highlights Tri Hita Karana, particularly Palemahan as the interpretative framework that is meaningful in literary analysis. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that children’s literature can introduce environmental awareness rooted in harmony, not merely responsibility.
