Setting according to Roberts and Jacobs in their book
Literature: AnIntroduction to Reading and Writing
1995:88 said that setting is concerned with the places where story take a place. Setting refers to geographical location of the story, time period, daily lifestyle of the
characters and climate of the story. Background elements can be divided into three main elements, namely a place, time, and social. Backgrounds on the location of the place suggest

2.5 Intrinsic Approach and Descriptive Research
The research literature starts from the interpretation and analysis of literary works itself. We are interested in discussing the author, social environment, and the literature, because of
the literature. The history of modern literature flourished only after the inception of Romanticism movement. This flow can only change the system of Neo-classical critical to
arguments that emphasize relativism. In the nineteen century, explanations to literature by examining its origins are very popular. The trend is actually an attempt to imitate the
methods of the natural sciences. Poetika in the 19th century moved to the tastes of readers. This supports the idea that art can be enjoyed simply irrational. The concentration of research
literature aimed at literature itself. Sir Sidney Lee concludes theory approach to the academic

19 literature is
“In literary history we seek the external circumstance, political, social, economics, in which literature is produced”. Wellek and Warren 1977:158 continues that
the old methods such as Classical rhetoric, poetika, and the dimensions must be learned and translated in modern terms. New methodsbased ona surveyof modernliteraryformshave
beenwidely introduced. Such research will be widely used in France is the method of
explication de texts .
While in Germany developed the formal analysis based on the parallels between works of art and art history, which has been pioneered by Walzel . Later, the
Russian formalist movement and his followers in Czechoslovakia and Poland greatly stimulate the development of literary studies. In the UK, followers I.A. Richards began to
focus on the text and the poetry critic in America began trying to restore a group of primary concern in the study of literature. Many studies of novel who not only see the connection
works with the social structure, but studying the artistic method, point of view, and narrative techniques.
Intrinsic approach takes part from the literary work itself. Intrinsic approach emphasizes the analysis intertext by describing the elements of the prose that explained before. Intrinsic
approach are being introduced based on a survey of the wider range of forms in modern literature. They also stated that the main part of intrinsic approach is based on the text of
literary works itself by doing an interpretation and analysis of it.
From the above statement that approach of interpretation and analysis of the work itself. Authors also choose the type of descriptive research because the research material itself is
associated with descriptive research, as stated by
JohnW.Best
in his book

This story began of The Nephilim. The Nephilim called the offspring of humans and angels. Nephilim are also commonly referred to as the Shadow Hunters Nations or Devil

humans and drunk. “…. Who mixed some of his own blood Angel with the blood of men in a cup,
and gave it to those men to drink .” Clare; 2007;217
The origin of the cup itself came from an angel that lives under the earth for thousands of years ago. The angel named Raziel. Before Raziel leave the cup to the Nephilim, they make a

never runs out by creating a new Shadow Hunters army for many years ago and the number indefinitely. Similarly ,who have the cup and he is to be feared.

Shadow hunte r using the cup” Clare; 2007:217.”
Besides, Mortal Cup but also have adverse impact to The Nephilim and The Council. This impact is divided into two different places, which is divided in two places. Firstly,
Under world is inhabited by several nations and the dimensional beings, such as: Warlock, Nephilim, Were wolves and Vampires. But the impact of this effect to The Nephilim . The
Nephilim has a role in the Mortal Cup . adverse effects arising from the Mortal Cup is mutually attacked their own people and attacking The Council which protecting Cup itself.

Lastly, Real World is inhabited by humans also has an influence by Dimensional Beings. Mortal Cup can accommodate human blood and Angels to be drunk to man so that man can
be turned into The Shadow Hunters. But that does not mean all human beings can change, because before humans altered should be tested and examined. However that is not the case
with Valentine wants to change all humans, although its effects can kill people who can not accept the blood cells.
From the above statementit can be concluded that the Mortal Cup has existed since thousands of years ago, the Raziel from the left to the Nephilimin an agreement over the key
