<![CDATA[This research aims to compare the story of Ciung Wanara (West Java) and Cindelaras (East Java). In addition to comparing the two stories, this study also explores the cultural values contained in each story. The research applies a qualitative method with comparison technique and content analysis. A comparative study uses an analysis of one literature with another, or comparing literature with other field of art. The result of the research shows that, despite being similar, the cultural background causes the two stories to have differences. A folktale has a cultural tradition inherent to the habit undertaken by the society in which the story develops. In the Ciung Wanara story, there is a tradition of cockfights, naming babies based on natural events, and belief in mythology. While in the story of Cindelaras, besides having the same things, we also find the representation of culture, especially the image of the king’s mistress as instead of the queen.]]>
