The objective of this analysis stands for the object that is going to analyze based on the problem of analysis. The objective of this analyis is to find and
analyze how these three attitudes caused social degradation as reflected in Harper
Lee’s novel “To Kill A Mockingbird”... 1.4 Method of Analysis
Welleck and Austin Warren state that there are two approaches in analyzing literary works. They are intrinsic and extrinsic approach. Intrinsic
approach is a kind of approach which analyze literary works based on the text and the structural points of literary works; characters,plot,setting,style,point of view,
etc. Extrinsic approach is a kind of approach which analyze the relationship between the content and the other discipline of knowledge such as history,
religion, psychology, biography,etc. In this analysis, I use extrinsic approach. I also relate my analysis with the
biography of Harper Lee as the writer of “To Kill a Mocking Bird” because in analyzing a novel, one should know the background of the writer of a novel to
enrich the knowledge about the novel that analyzed.
