CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Broadly speaking,

“ literature “ is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or

scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the

creative imagination , including works of poetry , drama, fiction, and nonfiction (

Esther Lombardi : 2015 ). Literature is general writing value works of art, especially

plays, poem, and novels (Hornby: 2005).

Novel is a story which tells about someone life. Novels do not, however,

present a documentary picture of life. Alongside the fact that novels look at people

in society, the other major characteristic of the genre is that novels tell a story. In

fact, novels tend to tell the some few stories time and time. The source or the

inspiration of writing novel can be a based on true story. Their true story retelling

in a story that we call as life experience. This true story more reliable than the other

that which based on imagination. It is because the second one sometime could not

happen in real life.

The novel is genre of fiction, and fiction maybe defined as the art or craft of

contriving, through the written word, representations of human life that instructor

divert or both. The various forms that fiction may take are best seen less as a number

of separate categories than as a continuum or more accurately, a cline, with some

such brief forms as the anecdote at one end of the scale and the longest conceivable

novel at the other. When any piece of fiction is long enough to constitute a whole

book, as opposed to a mere part of a book, then it may be said to have achieved

novel hood. But this state admits of its own quantitative categories, so that a

relatively brief novel may be termed a novella and a very long novel may overflow

the banks of a single volume and become a river novel. Length is very much one of

the dimensions of the genre (Britannica: 1962). The novel is a type of literary work

written in a narrative that contains certain conflicts in the life stories of the

characters in the story.

In literature, all stories must have certain characteristics or elements. Without

these elements, any piece of literature would cease to make sense or serve a purpose.

For example, character. Character can be defined as any person, animal, or figure

represented in a literary work. There are many types of characters that exist in

literature, each with its own development and function. Character as one of the

most important factors in story. Character is one of the attributes or features that

make up and distinguish an individual (Merriam-Webster: 1828). Character is the

personality or the part an actor represents in a play; a role played by an actor in a

play (Lynch:2012).

A Walk to Remember is a novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks,

released in October 1999. The novel, set in 1958–1959 in Beaufort, North Carolina,

which is Oliver Twist. She uses the Theory of moral value by Burhan Nurgiyantoro,

she tells about Oliver Twist who is tough to face everything in this world, oliver is

an orphan who is born in a workhouse but he has good attitude toward people

around him. He has the attitude that can conform in many situations and conditions.

Titisari ( 2012 ) STAIN Salatiga, also analyzed the same topic in telling the moral

she uses the theory of Hornby (2010) She finds the moral values likes religiosity,

For this research, the title is “The Analysis of Moral Values in A Walk to Remember

novel Written by Nicholas Sparks”. In this research the writer used qualitative

method, the source of data obtained for this research are from journals, articles, and

websites. The result of this study show the moral values contained in each character

in this novel. The writer found nine kinds of moral values such as Bravery, Honesty,

Steadfastness, Sympathetic to other, Cooperativeness, Thankfulness, Kind-hearted,

Trustworthiness, Love and Affection.

2.2 Literature

In modern times literature position is increasing and increasingly important.

Literature not only provides inner pleasure and satisfaction, but also as a means of

conveying moral messages to the public over social reality.

According to Hornby (2000) literature is the way of expressing human’s

feeling, thought, imagination and experience by writing. Literature is pieces of

writing that are valued as works of art, especially novels , plays or drama, and

poems. literature is a medium for expressing the

thoughts of the author. literature is imaginative, aesthetic and pleasing to the reader.

This is in line with the opinion of Damono (1984: 1), that literature was created by

authors or writers to be enjoyed, understood, and utilized by society in life.

Millar (1970:18) says it also increases human being’s knowledge or insight,

enrich their spirits and make them more civilized. It can help them comprehend

other people’s condition and qualities. Therefore, literature helps human being

grow, both personally and intellectually. It provides an objective base for

knowledge and understanding. It links them with the broader cultural, philosophic,

and religious world of which they are a par.

From the definition above, the writer concluded that literature is one of

works of art that show creative imagination from the authors, it can be fiction or

non fiction. The reader can read the creative imagination and it can increase

knowledge and experiences about human problems including values, morals,

cultures and human interest.

2.3 Character and Characterization

2.3.1 Character

In literary works, the writer creates character and characterization. A character is a

human who can think, speak, and do in literary work such as novel, movie and

drama. As Webber (2006:95) an individual’s character is that person’s collection of

character traits, and these can be defined as relatively stable dispositions to think,

feel and behave in certain way and certain situation. Two traditional examples are

bravery and cowardly, the dispositions to think, feel and behave in a brave or

cowardly manner in the face of real or apparent danger. Other, more restricted

examples might be being talkative at lunch or nervous at office parties. Exactly

what is and what is not to count as a character traits, of course, depends on which

account of the nature of character is to be accepted, and that is a matter of debates.

But all sides agree that a trait must be relatively enduring: one cowardly act does

not a coward make, as Aristotle observed, just as one swallow does not make a

spring. Another definition character are the persons presented in works of narrative

or dream who convey their personal qualities through dialogue and action by which

the reader or audience understands their thoughts, feelings, intention and motives.

( As defined by the University of Victoria).

2.3.2 Characterization

Characterization in literature is the process authors use to improve the characters

and create images of the characters for the audience. Another definition

characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a

character. The writer introduces the character with noticeable emergence and the

following the introduction of the character, the writer always talks about his

attitude, then as the story progress, the though process of the character. Then next

level the character expressing his opinion, idea and getting into conversation with

other characters. At the end the writer will show how the other in the story respond

to the character’s personality.

2.4 Novel

Novel is one of the art from literature. A novel is a relatively long work of narrative

fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book.

Comparing to the movie, novel can get lots of chances to think, A novel calls for us

to use our imagination to visualize what is going on in the book. Nurgiyantoro

(2010: 10) argues that novels are works of fiction built by building elements,

namely intrinsic elements and extrinsic elements. The novel is also interpreted as a

prose-shaped essay that contains a series of stories of someone's life with others

around him by highlighting the character and nature of the perpetrator.

2.4.1 The intrinsic elements of the novel

In order to complete this research, the writer would like to give a brief definiton and

explanation about the intrinsic element in a novel. The intrinsic elements that

consist of Theme, plot, character, setting and point of view are the elements that are

participating in forming a story in literary work.

a. Theme

Staton (2007:7) was stated that theme gives a strong explained about the

unity of what is happening in the story, and tell about the story of life in common

context. The purpose of theme is to give a shape and effect in our mind, so make

the story easy to remember. A good theme has to represent the entire story in the

novel. Sometimes the theme shapes in to the fact that comes from the human

experience. It is explored by the story and then gives impression for each of event

in life.

b. Plot

Plot is important element of literary work, because the plot tells the

important event that occur in a story.

Staton (2007:26) was stated that plot is a series of the events in a story. How

a certain events affecting another events that cannot be ignored, since the events

will be affecting for all the story. Plot is very close to existence of the character. If

the story only has a little in character, there will be more close and simple to plot,

in contrast a novel that has many character in the story the plot will be more

complicated. Plot also helps the reader in understanding the story of the novel. The

clarity of the plot makes the reader easier in understanding the story. Usually a good

or popular novels uses simple plot. So the strength of the novel also depend on the

plot.

The existence of the plot itself depends on two essential events:

1. Conflict

Conflict is a dramatic thing which direct to the competition between two

balance powers and show actions reaction. Conflict brings out the extremes of

human energy, causing characters engage in the decision, action responses and

interactions that make up most stories.

2. Climax

Climax is the highest point of interest, the moment when the conflict is most

intense. The time when the consequences of the character’s action become

inevitable and the main points of the plot merge.

c. Character

Character is one of the interesting things for personal opinions that the

readers want to see how is the other people life and how they effort to pursue the

goals.

Character also a vehicles for the author in order to convey to the reader about her

or his view of the world. The reader can learn about individual characters from their

own words and action, from what other characters said about them and the way

others act towards them. Character in a novel can be differentiated in to several

kinds based on point of view, a character can be categorized in to several at once,

for example as main character protagonist and character antagonist.

1. Protagonist

According to Altenberd and Lewis (1966:56) protagonist is a character who

is admired by the readers, which always called as a hero, because she or he always

does ideal role, follows the rules, and values in the society. The readers often give

sympathy to the protagonist character.

2. Antagonist

According to Luxemburg (1992:145) antagonist is the opposite character of

protagonist either physically and psychologically. The antagonist character usually

causes conflict for protagonist.

According to Foster (1927) in his book “Aspects of the novel” characters

are divided into two types, among others:

1. Flat character

According to Bernardo (2001) flat character is the opposite of a round

character. This literary personality is notable for one kind of personality trait or

characteristic.

2. Rounded character

According to Karen (2001) a rounded character is anyone who has a

complex personality, he or she is often portrayed as a conflicted and contra

dictionary person.

d. Setting

Hamalian (1967:59) was stated that the setting is not only a particular time

and a particular place, or a very substance of a region, but also how the people

things, how they react, their prejudices, their insanities, and their lifestyle with all

elements that related indirectly. Setting also includes the background: aspect at

atmosphere, a series of details, nuances which give a certain shape to theme and

plot. The elements of setting can be differentiated into three principles elements:

setting of place, setting of time, and setting of society.

a. Setting of place

According to Wellek and Warren (1956:131) setting of place direct to the

location where the event happened in a story. Each place must have their

characteristic.

b. Setting of time

According to Wellek and Warren (1956:131) setting of time is related to the

problem of when the event happens in a story. The problem of when is usually

connected with factual time, that has connection with historical events.

c. Setting of social environment

According to Wellek and Warren (1956:131) setting of social direct to the

problem which are related to the behavior of social life in certain place and certain

time in a novel. Social setting has connection with the system of social life that

contains many problem in complex scope: it can be habits, costumes, religion,

ideology and the way of thinking.

2.5 Moral

Moral is the doctrine of good and bad is generally accepted, concerning actions,

attitudes and obligations. Moral form includes unlimited problems. Covers all

issues of life and life, all problems that cover human dignity. Literary works created

by the author must contain certain values that will be conveyed to the reader, for

example moral values. The reader is expected to be able to find and retrieve this

value. Nurgiyantoro (2009: 320) states that moral stories are usually intended as a

suggestion related to certain moral teachings that are practical.

it is a clue which was deliberately given by the author about various matters relating

to behavior and social manners. Moral is something that the author wants to convey

to the reader, which is the meaning contained in a literary work and the meaning

suggested by the story (Nurgiyantoro, 2009: 321).

Based on “Webstren World Dictionary of American Language (1828)”

moral is thing that related with skill to decide right and wrong of behavior that

accepted by citizen. In “Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia” it is said moral is deciding

good or bad considered behavior. Morality according to Bentham is art to maximize

happiness, it can be seen by achieveing the existence of happy and joyful life of all

people.(Hazlitt,2003:109). A morality is sacrifice from little goodness to big

goodness.(Hazlitt,2003:111). According to Stemberg (1994:938), morality refers to

concern with what is good or right in people’s each other. A key to understanding

morality is to be specific about definition of good or bad and right or wrong.

2.5.1 Moral values

Moral value is value that must be separated with other values. Every value will get

quality if it has relation with other values. For example, honesty is example of moral

values, this value has no meaning if it does not be applied with other values.

Economic value relate with purpose value, (Rosyadi,2004:123). Loyalty is moral

value, but it must be applied with other, humanity value for general, for example,

love of husband and wife. (Bertens,2004:142)

2.5.2 Characteristics of moral values

Based on Bertens (1997:144) theory, there are four characteristics of moral values,

thus are:

1. Relating to the person’s responsibility

Moral values concerns with the human’s personality which has

responsibility. It causes that person is guilty or not because he is responsible. It is

created within the actions which become his duty. Human being himself is as a

source of his moral values (Bertens, 1997: 144)

2. Concerning to one’s inner self

This values produces “voice” from the one’s inner self. It will accuse us if

we against it and praise if we bring this values to the reality (Bertens, 1997: 144)

3. Making obligation

Moral values has absolute obligation which cannot be bargained. Immanuel

Kant (1724-1804) as a German philosopher argues that moral values contains

imperative category. It means that we are obliged to do something without

requirements. It is applied to human being as a root of humanity. Human is hoped

to perform the moral values. It is impossible that someone chooses some moral

values and refuses the others, for example, someone receives honesty and loyalty

as the values in his life but rejects justice. Therefore, all the people should accept

all of the standards of behaviour. (Bertens, 1997: 145-146)

4. Having formal quality

A moral value does not have the separate substance of values. It runs with

the other values (Bertens, 1997: 147).

2.5.3 Kind of moral values

Based on Hornby (2010) theory, there are eleven kind of moral values, such as:

1. Bravery

8. Kind-hearted

The kind-hearted is the quality of being kind (Hornby, 2010: 822). The

Hornby theory like show loyalty, there are many ways to show loyalty, among

others by giving awards and not bad-mouthing someone when he is not there.

10. Sincerity

Sincerity shows the feeling, belief, or behavior that we really think or feel

(Hornby, 2010: 1385). The example of sincerity according to Hornby theory like

giving people compliments that reflect your true inner feelings, performing acts of

kindness without expecting anything in return and maintaining the same personality

when alone or in the presence of others.

11. Love and Affection
