<![CDATA[AbstractThe Dante Club is an American historical fiction written by Matthew Pearl. Thestory takes place in the state of Massachusetts during the aftermath of theAmerican Civil War. The two major issues presented in the novel are xenophobia and anti-Catholicism. Specifically, it tells about a controversy over the Italian literary work, “Divine Comedyâ€, which is being translated into English by a group of notable poets named Dante Club. Their endeavor is considered as promoting Catholicism which is subjectively interpreted as an act of threatening the state. Based on Louis Althusser’s theoretical perspective, the work of the state authorities to hinder the group’s effort is seen as the manifestation of ideological practice. The theory points out that such an interference may commonly be found to be performed by two types of powerful institution, namely Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) and Repressive State Apparatuses (RSAs).This study discusses the practice of state ideology which is intended to maintain the state power as described in the novel. The focus is on answering the question of how ISAs and RSAs are authorized to exert their role to control people as well as to influence them on behalf of the state.Keywords: Ideology, Ideological State Apparatuses, Repressive State Apparatuses, Divine Comedy]]>

A careful study of literary works represents a way to add experience about life and also to gain knowledge about human life with all of their problems. The two novels being discusses in this article are Oscar Wilde‟s The Picture of Dorian Grayand Robert Louis Stevenson‟s Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde.This article will be analyzed by using Carl Gustav Jung‟s archetypes theory in order to make a comparative study through both of those novels. Thus, this study concerns to Jung‟s archetypes of persona and shadow. The method of the research is descriptive text analysis. At the same time, the article writer also used comparative study.

The similarity of the two novels lies on the theme namely ways on fulfilling one‟s desire toward physical condition, while the differences are lie in the ways to achieve the goals of the main characters. In Wilde‟s The Picture of Dorian Gray, the main character, Dorian Gray fails to achieve his physical perfectness of eternal youth because he did it in naturally, he trades his soul to get it. In Stevenson‟s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll successes to achieve his insane experiment to release the good side and bad side of human in the form of different appearance.

It means that an individual must be responsible for his own decision to do what he thinks is right. Secondly, one must sincerely accept the power of nature. It means that an individual has to be able to overcome the temptation that comes to him/her related to physical condition to achieve their acceptance toward nature‟s gift. By having these two factors, an individual will be able to achieve his or her acceptance toward the power of nature and accept what God has given him or her and live good life.Keywords: Archetypes, Persona, and Shadow.]]>
