<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the relationship between language style and moral messages in strengthening character in the novel Garis Waktu by Fiersa Besari. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The data consisted of textual excerpts from the novel containing elements of language style and moral messages, collected through reading and note-taking techniques. Data analysis was conducted through initial coding, focused coding, and axial coding to identify the forms of language style, types of moral messages, and the relationship between them in shaping character values. The findings reveal that the novel Garis Waktu conveys dominant moral messages, including self-acceptance, resilience, sincerity in facing loss, and the meaning of mature love. These messages are articulated through poetic, metaphorical, and reflective language styles that enhance the reader’s emotional engagement. The integration of language style and moral messages plays a significant role in the internalization of character values, both cognitively and affectively. This study confirms that language style functions not only as an aesthetic element but also as a strategic medium for conveying moral values and strengthening character. The findings imply that literary works can serve as an effective medium for character education.]]>
