1.1 The Background of Study Literature
is a kind of art, ally written offer pleasure and illumination.
Literature is
also composition that tells
us stories, dramatize situations,
express emotions, and analyze
advocate ideas. Wellek& Warren (1971:3) say, “Literature is the mirror of human life that portrays
human feeling, thought, imagination and perception which
can be viewed
based on personal
judgment.” Literature constitutes
the imaginative act from
the human’s imagination
and interpreting life-experiences.
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.
Among the genre of literature, novel is one of
the prose fiction. Watson (1979:158) says,
“Novel is a
fictional prose narrative
of length, ally
with a claim to describe the real.” Novel is a
picture of real life and manners of the time in which it was written. The novel has the
intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The intrinsic elements
are truly seen
from the novel.
There are five main
intrinsic elements, they are:
theme, plot, character, setting, and point of view.
In

“Plot is based
on the interaction
of causes and effects as they
develop sequentially or chronologically.” In the novel Aleph,
Paulo Coelho shows
the clear interaction
of cause and
effect. Paulo is having
a crisis over his conviction because he thought that he was not in peace.
He
committed to traveling
for signing session
of his books.

cowardice in the past. They
