INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Literature is a kind of art, usually written to offer pleasure and illumination. Wellek and 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 judgement”. It happens because the literary writer is also an individual and social being. The literary writer plays his imaginative power to describe social phenomena. It can be about economic matters, social problems, suicides. In short, literature constitutes the imaginative act from the human’s imagination and interpreting life-experience. The writer wants to analyze novels which belong to the literary work. Coates (1983:17) says, "The novel is an impossible history, for history has become impossible. It is powered by negative utopianism: it creates an image of artificial reality, but not of a better one as a prophet would. Modern novel are Dystopias, the sting in the tail of the earlier to leave this world and so was unable to return to it. This means." Taylor (1981:1) says that, literature is commonly classified as having two major forms fiction and non-fiction, and two major techniques poetry and prose. Literature may be classified into four categories or genres: (1) prose fiction, (2) poetry, (3) drama, and (4) nonfiction prose. Originally, fiction meant anything made up, crafted, or shaped, but today the word refers to prose stories based in author’s imagination. Prose fiction or narrative fiction; include myth, parables, romances, short stories, and novels. Terri Eagleton (1983:1) states that “ there have been various attempts to define literarture. You can define it, for example, as “imaginative” writing in the sense of fiction-writing which is not really true. But even the briefest reflection on what people commonly include under the heading of literature suggests that this will do”. UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA The literature as imaginative writing not really true because sometimes it lifted up from someone’s imagination or dream. A distinction between ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’, then , seems unlikely to get us very far, not least because the distinction itself is often questionable one Novel is a length story that narrates the life experience. Novels have extrinsic and intrinsic elements. Intrinsic elements in a novel are character, setting, plot, and theme. Character is a human being that plays actions in a novel. Setting is the place and time in a novel. Plot is sequence of events that contain conflict in a novel. And theme is central idea in a novel. There have been various attempts to define what literature is.
