3. Theory of Message
A message is an element that we often find in a work of art. The artwork can be sculpture, paintings, and literary works. In this study, the writer wants to
reveal the message of a novel, one form of literary works. An Introduction of the Study of Literature by Henry Hudson states that a good message is a message that
is most likely unconscious. Many of literary work authors are trying to say and give a clue to all these possibilities through their works. A good message does not
stand with the common pattern but rather leads to a humanity and norm value pattern 1958: 23.
Whereas, on the book titled New Worlds of Literature by Beaty Hunter, a detailed message is as easy as a real meaning or a conclusion that is
already in a work 1989: 899. Meaning to say, a message is a picture of the conclusion of the values that can be taken from a story.
According to Kenny in How to Analyze Fiction, it is explained that when people are talking about a message, they usually also discusses the moral values.
Thus, it can be concluded that the moral values could be a good or bad learning PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
1966: 89. The above statement is indirectly saying that any opinion of the people about morals and values are always different in each place.
The messages contained and implied in a literary work is something which can be considered as learning and moral values and reflected in real life.
Things like human behavior and human action can be reflected in a story to real life. Readers of literary works, especially in the form of the novel, are able to
understand any moral value contained in the story.
4. Theoretical Framework
