Abstract

The poem "Aku" by Chairil Anwar is one of the most famous and meaningful works of Indonesian literature. This poem not only talks about individualism and existentialism, but also reflects the social and political conditions of Indonesia during the Revolution. In this journal, the author will analyze the poem "Aku" using the author's sociological approach to understand its social meaning and historical context. The author's sociological approach sees literary works as social products that are shaped by the socio-political conditions of the author and his time. By analyzing Chairil Anwar's biography and the socio-political context of Indonesia in the 1940s, the author will show how the poem "Aku" is a reflection of social reality and the individual's struggle to find meaning in a turbulent situation. This analysis will show that the poem "I" is not only about a statement of individualism, but also about a critique of oppression and injustice. Chairil Anwar uses his poetry to voice his concerns about colonialism and feudalism, as well as to fight for independence and social justice.
