1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Literature is creative expression of human
imagination or wishes that it is almost
impossible to create an exact definition of it. Wellek & Warren (1971:3) state that literature is the mirror of human
life that portrays ‘human feeling, thought,
imagination and perception which can be viewed based on personal judgment.
Literature can be divided into
three genres, such as prose fiction, poetry and drama. In the sense of literary, prose
also called fiction, narrative text, or narrative
discourse.
Fiction is a narrative work that tells something that is imaginary, something that does not exist and
happen in the real world. As a work of
imaginary, fiction directs various problems of man and humanity, life and living. Fiction tells the various problems of
human life in the interactions with the environment
and others. Fiction is the result of dialogue, contemplation, and reactions to the environment and the life of
the author.Novel is fictional prose
narrative of considerable length, typically having a plot that is unfolded by the actions, speech
and thoughts of the characters. Novel, nearly
always an extendedfictional prose narrative, although some novel are very short, some are non fictional, some have been
written in verse and some not even tell
a story, novel is fictitious kind of writing.
Novel is a world specially made inwords by an
author. A novel exists in the way it
does because an author has chosen to put it together in that particularly way. This means that novels are not real life.
Like all works of art poems, plays, pots
or pieces of music – they have beenconstructed or crafted. (Gill, 1985:77).
There are two important elements in fiction,
intrinsic and extrinsic elements.
Extrinsic elements include: religion, education, custom, etc. while intrinsic elements include: theme, plot,
character, setting, and point of view.
Ranah 3 Warna is secondly novel in Negeri5
Menara trilogy. It has made by Ahmad
Fuadi, one of the young novelists in Indonesia who has a great talent in literature. The story in Ranah 3 Warna novel
is inspired by his life story. This novel
narrates how dreams and ideals must be fought all-out.
I am interested in analyzing the
intrinsic elements in Ranah 3 Warna novel,
because it has an attractive theme, plot, character, setting and point of view.
And also I want to understand a
work of literature with all the elements that each other be related, including theme which is
underlying the story, the plot is a series of events that can also lead to conflict, then
the character which describes how the characters
play a role in the literature,the setting indicates when and where any incident took place, until those elements were
packed in a view point of the author is
called point of view.
Ranah 3 Warna describes how all
the elements of literature created so beautifully.
How does the author give the basic story that rarely made by other authors, how the author create unexpected
conflict occurs in the novel, then how make
the characters that can inspire many people, and expertise of the author in choosing some of place that well known, such
as ITB or Institute of Technology Bandung
which is the most popular college in Indonesia, as well as how the author combines all these elements in the
point of view so that the novel is more interesting
and useful tothe readers.
