Revisioning the Myth of King Ahab in Paulo Coelhoâ€™s The Devil and Miss Prym Krisnawati, Diyan; Wijanarka, Hirmawan
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 14, No 2 (2014): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Many people think that myth refers to only folklores or legends which have long been existed in a society. What if myth turns out to be more than just an ancient story our parents tell us? Through Paulo Coelhoâ€™s The Devil and Miss Prym, this article tries to find out the answer. In the novel, a ruthless person was described ruling a village named Viscos. He was Ahab, a man full of arrogance and meanness. He governed the village whose inhabitants are only a few. The existence of this Ahab is reminiscent of another Ahab found in the Bible. However, Coelho presents a surprise for the readers by creating a different Ahab, changing Ahab to a generous and pleasant man. This re-visioning (re-observing and re-examining from a different point of view) reveals the fact that the story of Ahab in the novel is more than merely an old story found in the Bible. Under the light of Roland Barthesâ€™s theory of myth, this article aims at revealing how The Devil and Miss Prym re-visions the myth of King Ahab in the Bible. Myth in this novel can also be classified as the myth of freedom since it breaks some accepted concepts in society.Keywords: Re-vision, Myth, King Ahab

American Dreams Represented through the Color in Fitzgeraldâ€™s The Great Gatsby Ghiotto, Monica Federica; Wijanarka, Hirmawan
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 16, No 1 (2016): April
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

This article aims at observing F. Scott Fitzgeraldâ€™s The Great Gatsby that was first published in 1925, a novel about a man named Gatsby who wants to get his love back by making effort to be a rich person. The prominent color symbols and how the symbols represent the American Dream are the main concern of this article. Two objectives are set to guide the study of the novel. The first is to explai the color symbols that are prominent in the study, and the second is to analyze how the color symbols represent the American Dream. From the analysis, there are three prominent colors presented in the novel: green, white and gold. Green that symbolizes the American Dream of the better life and happiness can be seein in the green light, the green leather conservatory, the green-house, the apple-green shirts, the green jersey, the green card, the green Sound, and the green breast of the new world. White symbolizes the American Dream of of fame, wealth, perfection, innocence, and success. This color can be seen in the white palaces of fashionable East Egg, the white dress, the white windows, the white roadster, the white cards, and the white flannel suits. Gold that symbolizes the American Dream of material prosperity can be seen in the golden arm, the golden shoulder, the gold-colored tie, and the toilet set of pure dull gold color.Â

Modernism as Projected through the Character of Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot Shanon, Eileen; Wijanarka, Hirmawan
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 16, No 2 (2016): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

Samuel Beckettâ€™s Waiting for Godot, a play published in 1948, not long after the break of World War II, displays absurdity through its theme, plot, setting and characters. Despite the postmodern label on the literary work itself, this article assumes that there are ideas of modernism contained within it, projected through the character of Vladimir. Six characters are analyzed in this study. They are Vladimir, Estragon, Pozzo, Lucky, and the Boy. Among these characters, Vladimir tends to be more of a modernist rather than a postmodernist. This is shown in his act of waiting for Godot while the others do not really concern about the relevance of Godot in determining the outcome of their fates. Vladimir rests his faith and hope in Godot, persuading his fellow tramp Estragon to accompany him during his wait. Vladimirâ€™s critical thinking and quest for answers give a clear place to stand for the other characters who donâ€™t present the importance of logical thinking. Vladimir stands out as a character with modernist values such as anticipating, reasoning, and relevant discoursing. Keywords: modernism, postmodernism, Samuel Beckett

Cinderella Formula: The Romance Begins Hirmawan Wijanarka
Journal of Language and Literature Vol 22, No 2 (2022): October
Publisher : Universitas Sanata Dharma

As a type of formula fiction, a romance applies a fixed pattern of plot development, including the ending, which is always a happy one: celebrating the unification of the hero and heroine who previously struggled very hard against all obstacles threatening their mutual love. However, it does not mean that discussing the plot of romances is of no use. On the contrary, it is interesting to see how romance writers can create so many possibilities in the structure of the so-called formulaic plot. This study attempts to observe the benefit of characterization in the creation of these various structures of plot development. For this purpose, this study sets up two objectives. Firstly, the study observes the characterization of the hero and heroine as well as the construction of the plots. Secondly, the study points out the significance of characterization in driving the development of the plots. In the light of Cawelty's (1977) perspectives on literary formula and Radway's (1991) ideas about romance, this study concludes that the choice (i.e., the characterization) of "the hero and heroine" proves to be playing an essential role in the plot development. The gaps set between the hero and the heroine make it possible for the writers to develop various complicated plots, focusing on their relationship. Initially, it seems hard to match and unite the hero and the heroine in most romances. This fact, however, is the most crucial part of a romance. The struggles needed to overcome their problems will elicit more emotional conflicts and, thus, create more romantic suspense. The feeling of inferiority, jealousy, fear of losing the partner, and uncertainty about a deeper relationship is likely to occupy the heroine's (and sometimes the hero's) mind. And when they finally successfully overcome these problems, they will feel how great and strong their love is.

Nature, as an essential part of human life, should be preserved to maintain a good quality of life for living beings, and literature can be a tool to promote this issue. This article aims at (1) exploring the characters in Isao Takahata's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and (2) analyzing the interrelations of woman and nature as parallel in a patriarchal society. In discussing the movie, this article employs the ecofeminist approach. Five theories are applied to support the analysis: the theory of characterization and Mise en Scène, the theory of ecofeminism, the theory of symbolism, and the theory of patriarchy. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya reveals the equation of women and nature and how both are devalued. The analysis of the characters reveals that Princess Kaguya possesses caring, adventurous, and mysterious characteristics, while Sanuki no Miyatsuko possesses caring, loving, ambitious, and arrogant characteristics. The analysis also finds that Princess Kaguya loves to play with nature. She is equated to an animal, such as a bird, and a plant which is a tree branch. Women and nature are seen as parallel in the story. On the other hand, the noblemen in the story, as the masculine, are ignorant of nature as they pluck flowers and destroy a swallow's nest. This study finds out that Princess Kaguya experiences oppression as she is forced into a lifestyle she does not wish for and is harassed by an Emperor.
