INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of the Analysis
Literature has some definitions. Roberts 1995:1 in his book. Literature : An Introduction to Reading
and Writing. State that literature refers to compositions that tell stories, dramatize situation, express, emotions, and analyze and advocate ideas. This quotation
emphasizes that literature pictures the life of society and its elements, such as
emotions, ideas, situation, etc.
According to Roberts 1995:2, literature can be classified into three categories; Prose fiction, Poetry, and Drama. These three genres have much in
common, but they also have distinguishing characteristics, the essence of fiction is narration, the relation or recounting of a sequence of events or actions. Works of
fiction usually focus on one or a few major characters as they interact with other characters and deal with problems.
The novel Stalight, Starbright talks about the triangle love among three persons who live in different planets. Serena and Trenek live in the Sisterhood of
Trezhellas. Meanwhile, Darian, Shenzi and Lania live in Ulata’s planet.

. The two men love Serena. Trenek is twenty-nine years old. He lives in the planet Sisterhood of Trezhellas. He and Serena have grown up in the same
neighborhood. He is a good man and loves Serena so much. But, unfortunately, she does not love him. She loves Darian who also loves her.
Referring to literary analysis, “Starlight, Starbright “is classified into a Romantic tragedy because there are many conflicts love affair in two different
planets illustrated by the writer so that the readers will acknowledge how triangle love is run in life.
I am interested in analyzing the novel, especially about the triangle love in two different planets, which exist in the novel.
1.2 The Problems of the Analysis
There are some problems of the analysis. One of them is whether the triangle love will cause a serious problem or not. Another problem is that the
woman, loved by two men, will cause any trouble. The most interesting one that I have to know is about the ending of Serena’s love story.
Thesis also explains about clarification of the term including of sub-topic such as: Psychology of romantic love. The Conflict in the novel is divided into
two topics such as: The definition of conflict and the kinds of conflicts itself. In the next chapter, it tells about the conflict of the triangle love, which is into two
topics, they are: The love story in planet Sisterhood of Trezhellas and The love story in planet Ulata.
