(2016). The Meaning of Minke’s Opposing His Parents’ Ways of Thinking as Seen in Toer’s This Earth of Mankind. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University. This study analyzes a novel entitled This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. This novel was published by Hasta Mitra in 1980. This Earth of Mankind is a novel which tells about Minke, who lives in Dutch colonial era. He is the only Native Javanese who studies in the Dutch High School (Horege Burger School) in Surabaya on that time. Minke’s behaviors are influenced by Dutch education and civilization. The contradiction between Dutch and Javanese civilization occurs in some situations in his surroundings. In this study, the researcher discusses two research questions: (1) How is Minke described in Toer’s This Earth of Mankind? (2) What is the meaning of Minke’s opposing his parents’ ways of thinking? In dealing with those problems, the researcher uses theory of colonialism, discrimination, personality, character, characterization, motivation, and education. The researcher applies psychological approach and uses library research as the method. There are two sources required, those are primary data and secondary data. The primary data is This Earth of Mankind novel and the secondary data are gotten from books and internet. The finding of this study shows that Minke is classified as a dramatic and the major character. Moreover, based on theory of characterization, he is described as a smart, logical, modern, hardworking, and independent character. While the meaning of Minke’s opposing his parents’ ways of thinking is divided into surface meaning, which concludes that Minke opposes his parents’ ways of thinking as a form of avoiding to become a bupati and behaves like a slave as others Javanese and the deeper meaning, which concludes that Minke wants to get his freedom and to be able to make his own decisions. It is caused by Dutch civilization and Dutch education that is forming Minke’s ways of thinking. It is suggested to the future researchers to find the point of view from Nyai Ontosoroh toward Minke’s western education. It is also recommended for English teachers to use this novel as a one of the materials to teach Prose, Drama, or Play Performance.

Studi ini menganalisis sebuah novel berjudul This Earth of Mankind oleh Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Novel ini diterbitkan oleh Hasta Mitra pada tahun 1980. This Earth of Mankind adalah novel yang menceritakan tentang Minke yang hidup di zaman penjajahan Belanda. Dia satu-satunya pribumi Jawa yang belajar di sekolah menengah atas untuk bangsa Belanda (Sekolah Horege Burger) di Surabaya pada waktu itu. Perilaku Minke dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan dan peradaban Belanda. Pertentangan antara peradaban Belanda dan Jawa terjadi dalam beberapa keadaan di lingkungannya. Dalam studi ini, peneliti mendiskusikan dua rumusan masalah: (1) Bagaimana Minke digambarkan dalam This Earth of Mankind karangan Toer? (2) Apa makna dari Minke menentang cara berpikir kedua orangtuanya? Untuk mengatasi permasalahan itu, peneliti menggunakan teori kolonialisme, diskriminasi, kepribadian, karakter, penokohan, motivasi, dan pendidikan. Peneliti menerapkan pendekatan psikologi dan menggunakan studi pustaka sebagai metode penelitian. Terdapat dua sumber yang diperlukan, sumber itu adalah data utama dan data pendukung. Data utama adalah novel This Earth of Mankind dan data pendukung didapatkan dari buku-buku dan internet. Penemuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Minke digolongkan sebagai karakter dinamis dan utama. Terlebih, berdasarkan pada teori penokohan, Minke digambarkan sebagai karakter yang pandai, logis, orang yang modern, pekerja keras, dan mandiri. Sedangkan makna dari Minke dalam melawan cara berpikir kedua orangtuanya dibagi menjadi makna tertulis, yang menyimpulkan bahwa Minke menentang cara berpikir kedua orangtuanya sebagai bentuk dari penolakannya untuk menjadi seorang bupati dan berperilaku seperti budak seperti orang Java lainnya dan makna sesungguhnya, yang menyimpulkan bahwa Minke ingin memperoleh kebebasannya dan dapat membuat keputusannya sendiri. Ini disebabkan oleh peradaban Belanda dan pendidikan Belanda yang membentuk cara berpikir Minke. Disarankan bagi para peneliti selanjutnya untuk menemukan pandangan dari Nyai Ontosoroh terhadap pendidikan barat Minke. Juga direkomendasikan untuk para guru bahasa Inggris untuk menggunakan novel ini sebagai salah satu dari materi-materi untuk mengajar Prose, Drama, dan Play Performance.
