2.3 Intrinsic Elements

Intrinsic elements in literature are view things that appear in literature text. The

point of intrinsic element points is implicated that the point of literature is an

independent entity, exist or not in literature text. Literature point looked as

something permanent or eternal and it bring the goal inside. Beautiful words are

something objective, people can understand or confuse about it (Lockemann,

1965:16). That is why the intrinsic elements need to be determines in some parts.

A. Plot


7/15

Plot is a selection and arrangement of incidents by the author in a novel, short

story or drama to form the action and give the story a particular focus. According

to Perrine (1983: 41) Plot is sequence of incidents or events of which a story is

composed.

There are some elements in plot, such as the significant conflicts, the five distinct

sections of stages and the ordering plot.

a. Ekspotition

Definition of expotition by XJ Kennedy in An Introduction to Fiction

(1991:6) as follows:

An exposition in the opening portion that sets the scene (if any),

introduce the main characters, tells us what happen before the story

opened, and provides any other background information that we need

in order to understand and carre about the events to follow (Kennedy,

1991:6)

While in his book Teori Pengkajian Fiksi, Burhan Nurgiantoro provides

an explanation of the exposition as follows:

Pada umumnya berisi sejumlah informasi penting yang berkaitan

dengan berbagai hal yang akan dikisahkan pada tahap ber ikutnya.

Seperti , penunj ukkan dan pengenalan latar, seperti nama-nama tempat

suasana alam, waktu kejadian, dan lain-lain yang pada gar is besarnya

berupa deskr ipsi setting. Selain itu j uga ser ing dipergunakan untuk


8/15

tokoh-tokoh cer ita, mungki n berupa deskr ipsi fi sik , bahkan mungkin

juga telah disinggung perwatakan (Nur giantoro, 1995: 142)

The opinions above imply that the expositionn is an explanation

which lies at the beginning of the story where we will be introduced to

some of the information and explanations as necessary.

Thus, the writer may conclude that the exposition in the beginning

of the story usually contains the introduction of the characters, the

background exposure of problem as well as image resolution.

b. Rising Action

Rising action is a situation that shows where conflicts arise and envolve

toward a point that most peaks. According to Burhan Nurgiantoro in his

book Teori Pengkajian Fiksi describes the senses of rising action as

follows:

Tahap rising action adalah tahap peningkatan konflik yang telah

dimunculkan pada tahap sebelumnya semaki n berkembang. Peristiwa

peristiwa yang dramatik menjadi in ti cerita semakin mencengkam dan

menegangkan. Konflik konflik yang terjadi, internal, eksternal,

ataupun keduannya, pertengahan pertengahan, bentu ran benturan

antara kepenti ngan, masalah dan tokoh yang mengarah ke klimaks

semakin tidak dapat dihindari ( Nurgiantoro, 1995: 150).

events toward resolving the problem. Conflicts and emotions heightened

have been declined.

e. Resolution

Settlement of all problems or conflict of a story in a literary work called

the denouement, which is a happy ending and sad ending or unhappy

ending. Through the denouement, the author provides a problem solving

events that have occured in a series of story.

B. Character

Character is an important one for a good writer to construct his/her works

play. Sean Monahan defines character from his book Literature with Style A

character is a person in a story or a play (Monahan, 1986:47).

Character is a person that is presented in a drama or narration while the

process by which the writer makes that character seem real to the reader is called

characterization. Characters are widely considered an essential element of

fictional works, especially novels and playas. The process of creating and

developing characters in a works of fiction is called characterization.

Character is the one who share his/her experiment to create or develop the

conflict in the story. Therefore he/she is one of the things that are very important

in a fiction because it is impossible to have a story without a character that creates


11/15

the storylines. All conflicts or events in the fiction are expanded through the

action of the figures. Sumardjo (1984:132) describes that Tokoh merupakan

bagian utama dari alur cerita.

Writer develops their character in a number of ways. When concerned

primarily with the external reality of their character, either describes their physical

appearance, dramatize action and conversation, and summarize their previous

historical for us. Writer also penetrates the minds and hearts of some characters in

particularly the protagonist to show which other in the story may be unaware.

C. Setting

Essentially, facing of a work of a fiction is dealing with a world, a world of

possibilities, a world which always comes with the characters and problems

inside. But it was considered less complete because the character with a variety of

problems requiring the scope of place and time, as human life in the real world.

So in addiction to a fictional character, the story also require what we called

setting.

D. Theme


12/15

An important element that constructs the story in a literary work is a theme. Its

existence depends on the other elements such as character, plot, and setting. Other

elements like character, plot and setting, can be united and have meaning if they

are composed according to a theme.

Theme is also the general idea in a literary work, as Landy said that theme of

a story refers to some general idea embodied in the story (Landy, 19772: 198). It

refers to the abstract concept that is made concrete through the images,

characterization, and action of the text. The theme gives the novel a greater depth

than it would have if it were a simple recitation of a series of actions. Sean

Monahan also stated that theme refers to the significance of what happens

(Monahan: 1986: 6).

2.3 lifestyle

According to Dictionary.com lifestyle is the habbits, attitudes, tastes,

moral standars, economic, level, that together constitute the mode of living of an


13/15

individual or group. A way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and

values of a person or group.

Lifestyle is a term to describe the way a person lives, which was originally

coined by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler in 1929. The current broader sense

of the word dates from 1961. A set of behaviors, and the senses of self and

belonging which these behaviors represent, are collectively used to define a given

lifestyle. The term is defined more broadly when used in politics, marketing and

publishing.

A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense both

others and oneself in a given time and place. The bahaviors and practices within

lifestyle are a mixture of habbits, conventional ways of doing things and reasoned

actions. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individuals attitudes, values or

worldwide. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to

create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity, not all aspect of

lifestyle are entirely voluntaristic.
