Abstract

The narrative manner, plot, characterization, and background cannot be separated from the short story; they help readers understand the author’s intentions. This research aims to determine the short story’s plot, characterization, and background. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection model is implemented in three ways: reading, listening, and taking notes. Data analysis is done by reducing, presenting, and drawing conclusions. The short story “The Mark of The Beast” tells the journey of the main character, Fleete, who is involved in supernatural events after insulting a religious temple in India. This character also displays character transformation and the roles of supporting characters such as Strickland and Others. The dominant theme is the conflict between spiritual and worldly forces and the spiritual journey of individuals in facing the consequences of their actions. Overall, the short story “The Mark of the Beast” shows the depth, complexity, and fear that exist in this work. By understanding the plot, characterization, and background in this story, readers can explore the meaning of this story more deeply and appreciate the messages conveyed by the author about life, local customs, and spiritual powers that exist in the story.

Abstract

Personification to distinguish between what is human and what is not. However, the most common is personification, which involves humanising objects, animals, and abstract concepts. The purpose of discussing five poems from “Selamat Ulang Tahun, Buku” by Joko Pinurbo, “Hiu” by Nirwan Dewanto, “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson, “The Mangroves” by Mary Oliver, and “Laughing Song” by William Blake which have personification. The method used in this article is a qualitative descriptive approach. The results obtained are that the five poems above have human nature embedded in the form of objects (such as ‘buku,’ ‘streams,’ and ‘hills’), animals (such as ‘hiu,’ ‘ubur-ubur,’ ‘cumi-cumi,’ ‘grasshopper,’ and ‘birds’), abstract (such as death), plants (such as ‘mangroves,’ ‘green woods,’ and ‘meadow’), and gas (such as ‘air’). The five forms above are examples of personification. So the conclusion is that in Joko Pinurbo's poem, there are objects that behave like humans; in Nirwan Dewanto's poem, human nature is linked to three animals; in Emily Dickinson’s poem, it is said that Death has a quiet, honest, and cruel behavioural action; in Mary Oliver's poem it is said that mangroves have the nature to discuss with the narrator; William Blake gives the nature of happiness to objects and animals. Thus, personification functions as a complement to characteristics, emotions, and position as a story character.
