English Literature: The Analysis Of The Intrinsic Elements In Kathryn Stockett’s Novel The Help



 INTRODUCTION 
1.1  Background of the Study 
Roberts (1993:1)
says, “Literature refers to compositions that tell stories,  dramatize situations, express emotions, and
analyze and advocate ideas. Before  the
invention of writing, literary works were necessarily spoken or sung, and were  retained only as long as living people
performed them.” Taylor (1981:1) says,  “Literature,
like other arts, is essentially an imaginative act, that is, an act of the  writer’s imagination in selecting, ordering
and interpreting life-experience.”  Literature
may be classified into four categories or genres : (1) poetry, (2 prose  fiction), (3) drama, (4) nonfiction prose.
Usually the first three are classed as  imaginative
literature. Prose fiction, or narrative fiction, includes myths, parables,  romances, novels, and short stories.
Watson (1979:xi) says, “Novel is
the name of a literary kind, and there is a  story to tell about how, over the centuries,
its substanced has widened and its  conventions
changed.” Watson (1979:158) says, “Novel is a fictional prose  narrative of length, usually with a claim to
describe the real.” Novel may be  classified
into two categories : (1) intrinsic elements, (2) extrinsic elements.
Nurgiyantoro (2003:23) says,
“Unsur intrinsik sebuah novel adalah unsur-unsur  yang (secara langsung) turut serta membangun
cerita.” It means that the intrinsic  elements
in a novel are the elements that directly build the story. The intrinsic    elements of a novel are theme,
characterization, plot, point of view, style, and  settings. Nurgiyantoro (2003:23) says, “Unsur
ekstrinsik adalah adalah unsurunsur yang berada di  luar karya sastra itu, tetapi secara tidak
langsung  mempengaruhi bangunan atau
sistem organisme karya sastra.”  It means
that the  extrinsic elements in a novel
are the elements that indirectly build the story. The  extrinsic elements are biography of the
author, psychology (psycohology of the  author,
psychology of the readers, and the application of psychological principles  in the works), environmental of the author
such as economy, politics, and social,  and
so on.
The writer will give “The
Analysis of the Intrinsic Elements in Kathryn  Stockett’s Novel The Help”. These are the
theme, the characterization, the plot,  the
point of view, the style, and the settings. Yelland (1983:189) says, “The theme
 is the central thought in a literary
work.” The characterization is the  representation
of a person in a narrative work of art such as a novel, play, or film.
The plot is a literary term
defined as the events that make up the story, particularly  as they relate to one another in a pattern, in
a sequence, through cause and effect,  or
by coincidence. One is generally interested in how well this pattern of events  accomplishes some artistic or emotional
effect. The point of view is a device for  in narrator to indicate the position from
which an action is observed and narrated.
An author of a fiction must
choose a point of view from which he will narrate his  story. The style is the manner, that is the
codified gestures, in which the author  tells
the story. In fiction, setting includes the time, location, and everything in which
a story takes place, and initiates the main backdrop and mood for a story.
  The
elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and  hour. Along with the theme, the
characterization, the plot, the point of view, and  the style, the settings is considered one of
the fundamental components of fiction.
All of them are essentially in a
novel. A novel cannot be writing without the  intrinsic elements.
In this paper, the writer chooses
this topic because she is interested in the  story of this novel. This novel tells three
women dur ing the formative years of the  civil rights movement in Mississippi, where it
was dangerous to push the  boundaries of
segregation for both blacks and whites – though for very different  reasons. The Help tells a historical story
about women, a story that will make you  laugh,
and probably cry, and it will likely leave you a better person for having  seen it. In pitch-perfect kiss, Kathryn
Stockett creates three extraordinary women  whose determination to start a movement of
their own forever changes a town,  and
the way women-mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends-view one another. A  deeply moving novel filled with poignancy,
humor, and hope. The Help is a  timeless
and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.
