Abstract

The article entitled “The Values ​​of the Main Character’s Struggle in the Novel Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori: A Sociological Analysis of Literature” aims to describe the forms of struggle values ​​represented through the actions, thoughts, and experiences of the main character, Biru Laut Wibisono. The research is limited to five values ​​of struggle, namely sacrifice, courage, loyalty, solidarity, and justice that appear in the narrative structure of the novel. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques on quotes, dialogues, and descriptions that describe the dynamics of the character’s struggle. The results show that Biru Laut Wibisono is depicted as a figure with high moral integrity in facing political repression during the New Order era. The values ​​of struggle displayed not only represent individual resistance, but also affirm the collective awareness of the younger generation against structural injustice. The conclusion of the research confirms that this novel presents a strong representation of humanity, moral courage, and steadfastness in fighting for the truth, while also demonstrating the function of literary works as a medium for social reflection and resistance against oppression.
