Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the educational values ​​contained in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm based on the character education theory proposed by Thomas Lickona. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a content analysis approach to examine the meaning and educational messages implied in the literary text. The research data were obtained through a literature review using the novel Animal Farm as the primary data source, and supported by various relevant theoretical references. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by classifying the character education values ​​according to Lickona's framework, which include moral values, social values, and intellectual values. The results show that this novel contains various character education values, including honesty, responsibility, cooperation, leadership, discipline, and social justice. In addition to functioning as a critique of social and political realities, Animal Farm also presents important and contextual character learning. These values ​​are relevant to shaping ethical attitudes, moral awareness, and readers' understanding of the consequences of human behavior in social life.
