INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study Novel is one of the literary works among the
three important parts of literature:
novel, poetry, and drama. A novel is a
long prose narrative that describes the
fictional characters and events, ally in the form of a sequential story.
A novel ally represents about human life in interacting with the environment and the fellow. Novel also has a
plot which is a basic framework that is
very important. Plot is the series ofevents in the story structure which is arranged as a series of parts in the overall
fiction. Thus, the plot is a mix of elements
that build up the story so that it becomes the main framework of the story. Plot arranges how the actions should be
related to each other, how an event has
a correlation with other events, as well as how the depicted figures and role
in the incident. According to Perrine
(1974:41) Plot is the sequence of incidents or events which the story is composed and it may
conclude what characters say or think,
as well as what they do, but it leaves out description, analysis, and concentrate ordinarily on major happening.
William Kenney in his book
(1966:13) explainsthat the structure of plot is divided into three parts. They are the
beginning which consists of the exposition or introduction, the middle which consistsof
conflict, complication and climax and
the end which converses denouement or resolution. The first part functions as exposition that serves as part of the
information required by the readers in order to understand the storyline further. This initial
section ally contains the name of the
characters, gender, age, occupation, social conditions, living, and the things which according to the author it is important
to be known by the reader. At the beginning
of the ending of the story is ally unstable due to unstable story is what will trigger events that will happen
next. The second part of the story begins with the things that can leadto conflict
because the centralpart of this story in the form of a series of increasingly
high-intensity conflict and reach the summit and called the climax of a story. And this part is
most awaited by readers. Then, the final
part contains solutions to the problems that occur in the middle story.
There is a conflict in a plot
that occurs due to the motivation and action as well as the elements of cause and effect.
Kenney (1966:95) states “motivation as a reason why the characters do what theydo.”
While Gorys Keraf (1982:160-162) states
that in a story, a character can have a variety of motivation that prompted him to commit an act.
