ABSTRACT

The present study entitled Breaking the Magic Code: Finding the Pattern of Goodkind’s Fantasy Fiction Wizard’s First Rule aims at identifying the pattern of the story through analyzing the fantasemes. It also attempts to investigate the ways the story constructs the logic of the secondary world.Utilizing a qualitative research particularly descriptive method, the present study adopts Nikolajeva’s (1988) fantasy theory as its major theoretical framework. The study found that the fantasy story construction in the novel is presented through combination of fantasemes. From the analysis of the fantasemes it is clear that the story utilizes a pattern linear to common fantasy fiction, however it also creates a new pattern. Similar to other fantasy stories, this story has a character traveling and leaving home, challenged and helped, performing a task and gaining triumph. The differences are in the absence of primary world which is replaced by heterotopias. The story constructs the logic of the secondary world through following magic laws, namely limitation and consistency. The fantasy story of Wizard’s First Rule also shows that Goodkind as the author transforms myth and fairy tales to fantasy fiction which is more modern.

Keywords: fantasy, fantasemes, the magic space, the magic time, the magic passage, the magic impact

ABSTRAK

Penelitian berjudul Breaking the Magic Code: Finding the Pattern of Goodkind’s Fantasy Fiction Wizard’s First Rule bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk cerita dengan cara menganalisis fantasemes (elemen-elemen fantasi). Penelitian ini juga berusaha untuk menginvestigasi cara cerita membentuk logika dari dunia kedua di dalam novel. Menggunakan penelitian kualitatif khususnya metode deskriftif, penelitian ini mengadopsi teori fantasi milik Nikolajeva (1988) sebagai teori utama. Penelitian menemukan bahwa pembentukan cerita fantasi pada novel diperlihatkan melalui kombinasi fantasemes. Berdasarkan analisis fantasemes, terlihat jelas bahwa cerita menggunakan bentuk linear seperti fiksi fantasi yang umum, tetapi cerita tersebut juga menciptakan bentuk yang baru. Seperti cerita fantasi lainnya, cerita ini memiliki karakter yang bertualang dan meninggalkan rumah, ditantang dan dibantu, melaksanakan tugas dan memperoleh kemenangan. Perbedaannya terdapat pada ketiadaan dunia pertama yang digantikan oleh heterotopias. Cerita membentuk logika dunia kedua dengan cara mengikuti aturan magi, yaitu batasan dan konsistensi. Cerita fantasi Wizard’s First Rule juga memperlihatkan bahwa sang penulis, Goodkind mentransformasikan mitologi dan dongeng menjadi fiksi fantasi yang lebih modern. Kata kunci: fantasy, fantasemes, the magic space, the magic time, the magic passage,

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the introduction of the study. It includes the background of the study, research questions, the aims of the study, the scope of the study, the significance of the study, research method, data collection and data analysis, clarification of terms, and organization of the paper.

1.1Background of the Study

There are a lot of opinions about the definitions of fantasy fiction. Generally, fantasy fiction is delineated as stories containing several invented elements, such as action, characters or settings of the story, which does or do not

exist in the real world (Fitzgerald, 2008). The children and young adult’s literature

including those several elements, namely magical beings or events, unrealistic world, the mysterious sense, a wonder, and the destruction of the natural laws are classified into fantasy fiction (Nikolajeva, 1988). One of the examples of fantasy fiction is The Lord of the Rings (1954-56) series by Tolkien, whose setting is in an invented world called the Middle Earth. The world is inhabited by many creatures, such as hobbits, elves, orcs, etc. The story tells about the main character, Frodo who gets the task to bring the magical ring to the land of Mordor. During his journey, he finds many trials and also gets some magical help by the elves until the ends he succeeds to return the ring and to break it. So does, Terry Goodkind’s

(10)

the invented world. The main character, Richard who lives in the free land of magic called Westlands is named to be the Seeker of the Truth. He has task to find a magical box to stop evil power of Darken Rahl in the lands of magic Midlands

and D’Hara. To do his task, he is supplied by a magical thing namely the Sword of the Truth, and accompanied by a wizard, a mother confessor, and a boundary warden. In the end, Richard succeeds in finding the box and killing Rahl.

Clearly, both stories Lord of the Rings and Wizard’s First Rules are surrounded by various magical and imaginary features and situated in unrealistic world. Those magical elements are the important elements that characterize a text as a fantasy fiction. Nikolajeva (1988) terms magical elements as fantasemes which are used to introduce magic surroundings, events, figures, objects, and their interaction in a certain story where its presence constructs a text as fantasy genre (further explanations are going to be elaborated in Chapter II). Specifically, she categorizes fantasemes into four major fields among others are magic space, magic time, magic passage between two worlds, and the impact of this passage. In other words, the space, the time, the magical things, the figures, the actions, and their interactions found in Wizard’s First Rule are fantasemes which can be analyzed to reveal how the story is constructed as fantasy fiction as the focus of this present study.

However, as the elements are interrelated, the analysis of one element cannot be separated from the others. It is in line with Nikolajeva’s notion that every element is related to each other. She uses Bakhtin’s notion of chronotope to explain the relation. According to Bakhtin (1975; cited in Nikolajeva, 1988, p.24),

(11)

chronotope means “a significant connection of temporal and spatial relations artistically assimilated by literature”. From this view chronotope is defined as the relation between place and time. Widely, contextualizing chronotope in fantasy fiction, the fantasy cronotope is the unity of different fantasemes which can be used to describe the secondary world of the story (Nikolajeva, 1988; cited in Salminen, 2009).

Besides the narrative elements or fantasemes and its relation or chronotope, fantasy has some important rules. Nikolajeva (1988) formulates the rules in the term of the magic law that consists of two main laws: limit and consistency to make a fantasy fiction logical for the readers (further explanations are going to be elaborated in Chapter II). Gates, Steffel, and Molson (2003) approve Nikolajeva’s notion of the magic law in which the limit and consistency should be involved in writing fantasy where the laws aim to help evaluating the literature which is read. The rules or the criteria of writing fantasy can help the study to evaluate the logic of the secondary world which is contained in Wizard’s

First Rule, a literature which becomes the primary source of the study.

In line with each purpose of the above notions, this study endeavors to identify the pattern of a fantasy fiction entitled Wizard’s First Rule through analyzing the fantasemes.

(12)

1.2Research Questions

Relevant to the background of the study above, this study attempts to address the following research questions:

1. How are the fantasy elements employed in constructing Wizard’s First Rule as a fantasy fiction?

2. In what ways does the story construct the logic of secondary world?

1.3Aims of the Study

Relevant with the research questions above, the study aims at:

1. Finding out how the fantasy elements are employed in constructing the story as a fantasy fiction.

2. Investigating the ways the story construct the logic of secondary world.

1.4Scope of the Study

In this present study, the main focus of the writer is on narrative elements and secondary world in Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It is pointed to analyze and to reveal the construction of the story as a fantasy fiction to present logical secondary world in the novel.

1.5Significance of the Study

Fantasy fiction has become a subject for several studies. One example is

Salminen’s (2009) Fantastic in Form, Ambiguous in Content: Secondary Worlds

(13)

fiction for children connected to the socio-historical of Soviet. To identify the

structure of the Soviet Children’s Fantasy Fiction, she applied Nikolajeva’s notions of fantasemes and chronotope. It indicates that Nikolajeva’s notions are an applicable theory to reveal the nature of fantasy fiction. However, this theory is rarely adopted by Indonesian researchers, particularly in Indonesia University of Education, whereas some of them used fantasy fiction as their research subject.

Therefore, this present study conduct a similar approach with Salminen’s

thesis, namely applying Nikolajeva’s (1988) notions formulated in the magic code to identify the pattern of Goodkind’s fantasy fiction Wizard’s First Rule. Although this study applies a similar approach from the previous study, it is expected that the study provides new insights for understanding fantasy fiction through a deep analysis of the nature of fantasy in Indonesia University of Education, generally in Indonesia. Thus, the different findings and conclusions will enrich the knowledge about fantasy fiction.

1.6Research Method

To solve the research problems formulated above, this study uses qualitative approach in descriptive form. The use of qualitative approach is appropriate because a qualitative research design focuses on specific situations or people and emphasizes on words rather than number (Maxwell, 1996). The design is considered appropriate to be applied in this study because the study is proposed to describe the construction of the story as a fantasy fiction and the logic of the secondary world constructed in Wizard’s First Rule.

(14)

1.6.1 Data Collection

The data were collected from the fantasy novel Terry Goodkind’s

Wizard’s First Rule (1994). The data were in the form of words, utterances, and dialogues that were critically analyzed and purposively selected and directed to answer the research questions.

1.6.2 Data Analysis

The collected data were categorized into how every element of fantasy which appeared in the text was related each other, thus it formed an intact narrative. The collected data were analyzed and categorized by using the framework of the magic code as proposed by Nikolajeva. To conduct the study, the following steps were taken:

1. Reading and re-reading the fantasy novel Wizard’s First Rule written by Goodkind.

2. Collecting and selecting words, utterances, and dialogues which serve as textual evidence.

3. Categorizing the textual evidence into the narrative elements of fantasy proposed by Nikolajeva.

4. Analyzing the data by applying relevant theories. 5. Interpreting data.

(15)

1.7Clarification of Terms

To avoid misunderstanding, the following is the clarification of the terms used in the study:

1. Fantasy

Nikolajeva (1988) disseminates that the most important feature of fantasy is the presence of magic including magical beings or events, unrealistic world, the mysterious sense, a wonder, and the destruction of the natural laws.

2. Fantasemes

Fantasemes are terms for the magical narrative elements used to introduce magic surroundings, events, figures, objects, and their interaction in a certain story where its presence constructs a text as fantasy genre (Nikolajeva, 1988).

3. Chronotope

The fantasy cronotope is the unity of different fantasemes which can be used to describe the secondary world of the story (Nikolajeva, 1988; cited in Salminen, 2009).

4. Primary World

Primary world is the usual everyday life which is recognized by readers and the protagonist (Swinfen 1984, cited in Hongyu 2006). 5. Secondary World

The secondary world is projections of authors’ creative imagination

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1Research Questions

Relevant to the background of the study elaborated in the first chapter, the present study attempts to address the following research questions:

1. How are the fantasy elements employed in constructing Wizard’s First Rule as a fantasy fiction?

2. In what ways does the story construct the logic of secondary world?

3.2Research Subject and Context

The subject of the present study is a novel by Terry Goodkind entitled

Wizards’ First Rule (1994). It has 583 pages and consists of 49 chapters. It is the

best selling first book in Goodkind’s the epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth

(Wikipedia, retrieved March 16, 2013). Other novels of the series are Stone of

Tears, Blood of the Flood, Temple of the Winds, Soul of the Fire, Faith of the Fallen, The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Chainfire, Phantom, and Confessor.

(18)

This novel is selected as the subject of the present study because it possesses representative narrative elements of fantasy. The study focuses on analyzing the ways the story is constructed as fantasy fiction to present logical secondary world in the novel.

3.3Research Procedure

In gaining the aims of analyzing the data in textual form, the writer applies qualitative approach in descriptive form. The focus of qualitative research design is the specific situations or people, and the design emphasizes on words rather than numbers (Maxwell, 1996). The design is applied because it is considered appropriate for finding and describing the answers to the research questions. It is

in line with Merriam’s (1988; cited in Alwasilah, 2011) statement that the aims of

the design are for understanding, describing, finding, revealing a hypothesis. The present study concentrates on the story and the narrative elements presented in the novel. In general, an analysis of narrative elements of a novel including: plot, characters, narrative perspective, and setting elements of the novel, aims to explain the nature of novel genre (Klarer, 1999). However this present study took different way with Klarer to explain the nature of novel because the subject analysis is hypothesized as a fantasy fiction. According to Nikolajeva (1988), fantasy genre possesses a number of features that only inherent to this genre that she names as fantasemes or narrative elements of fantasy including: the magic space, the magic time, the magic passage, and the magic impact. Therefore, the research adopted Nikolajeva’s theory (1988) called the

(19)

magic code because the theory was considered as the most applicable theory to answer the research problems.

3.4Data Collection

The data were collected through reading and re-reading to Wizard’s First

Rule by Goodkind for several times. In the first reading, the writer tried to

understand the story. The second reading was the finding process of the issue, namely narrative elements of fantasy that would be analyzed. Afterward the writer searched the appropriate theories which were relevant to the subject. Since the story and the narrative elements were the focus of the present study, the next reading concentrated on the ways the story is constructed as fantasy fiction to present logical secondary world. The collected data were in the form of textual evidence which were selecting words, phrases, utterances, and sentences. They were selected and directed in answering the research questions.

3.5Data Analysis

The data were categorized and classified into the term of narrative elements (fantasemes) which were divided into four major fields; magic space, magic time, magic passage between two worlds, and the impact of this passage, to answer the research questions. The collected data were analyzed using the magical pattern in fantasy called the magic code proposed by Nikolajeva (1988) as stated previously.

"Young people here are not taught the histories of the three lands?"

“Long ago, back in the time before our parents were born, D'Hara was just a confederation of kingdoms, as was the Midlands.”

“There is magic in D'Hara, too, not just in the Midlands. Back then there was magic everywhere. There were no separate lands, no boundaries.” “They wanted a place to live where there would be no magic. Westland was set aside for those people. So it was that there came to be three lands. The boundaries were created with the help of magic . . . but they themselves are not magic.”

“The boundaries are part of the underworld: the dominion of the dead. They were conjured into our world by magic, to separate the three lands.”

5/ 38-40

The story is categorized as closed world because there is no contact between the primary and the secondary world.

There are three lands and one world in the story; Midland, D’Hara, Westland, and the Underworld.

Midlands and D’Hara are the secondary world of the story which is marked by the presence of magic in those lands.

Westland is the secondary world of Midlands and D’Hara because it is created for people who won’t magic. Beside of that, they create the boundaries to separate the three lands. The boundaries are part of the underworld.

The presence of Westland and the Underworld as the secondary world of Midlands and D’Hara are named multitude of secondary world.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION

This chapter presents the conclusion of the study which is based on the findings and discussion in the previous chapter. This chapter also presents the suggestion for further study based on the result of the research.

5.1 Conclusions

The aims of the study are twofold. First, it attempts to uncover how the story is constructed as a fantasy literature by figuring out the pattern; and second to investigate the ways in which the story constructs the logic of the secondary world in Wizard’s First Rule. The previous chapters show that the story is

narrated through several fantasemes which are interrelated. Those are the magic space, the magic time, the magic passage, and the impact of the passage. From the analysis of the fantasemes it is clear that the story utilizes a pattern linear to common fantasy fiction, however it also creates a new pattern. Similar to other fantasy stories, this story has a character traveling and leaving home, challenged and helped, performing a task and gaining triumph. The differences are in the absence of primary world which is replaced by heterotopias. The story constructs the logic of the secondary world through following magic laws, namely limitation and consistency.

The study presents that the magic space is the fundamental fantasemes of the story construction. The main character in the story is the subject of the story

(26)

construction. The magical things interrelated with the magical creatures are the magic passage between the subject and the magic space of the story. The fantasemes coalesce to form an adventure story fantasy surrounded by magic. The whole story shows that the adventure gives the subject the magic impact.

5.2 Suggestions

The study suggests that more studies of fantasy literature be conducted because fantasy is one of popular genres in literature for children and young adults. It would be better if the next researchers compare Indonesian fantasy novel, such as Trilogi Elir: Takdir Elir (2012) by Hans J. Gumulia with English

fantasy novel in Indonesia, such as Rowling’s Harry Potter series (1997-2007).

Research conducted may provide the reason for why English fantasy novels become more popular than Indonesian novels. Furthermore, the research may provide the suggestion for Indonesian fantasists to increase their ability in writing fantasy. This study is also expected to motivate future readers and researchers to better understand about fantasy literature.
