2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1

Detective Novel
Bonn, Julien D. (2010:42) detective story have six elements, such as

solution of mystery, solving mystery, incompetent or ineffectual police, a susfect
who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent, detective’s friend or
confidant, and often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes
by contrast the detective’s brilliance.
2.2

Intrinsic Approach
The intrinsic approach was originally written by Rene Wellek and Austin

Warren in their book “Theory of Literature”. Rene Wellek introduced his intrinsic
approach, which essentially is a study of literary work based on analyzing the
internal elements that build that work. According to Wellek (1962:332) The
natural of sensible starting point for work in literary scholarsip is the
interpretation and analysis of the works of literary themselves. After all, only the
works themselves justify all our interest in the life of an author, in his social

environment, and the whole process of literature. Wellek’s opinion is that the
study of literature naturally needs to be started from the analysis of the literary
work itself because then it would enable us to identify he many aspects that built
that work. Wellek further explained by introducing elements that from the
foundation of aliterary work, plot, setting, theme, character, point of view, and
style. By analyzing these elements, a student could comprehend the work by
figuring out how the story flows, where the story is set, how the characters act and

think. Interinsic approach applied by the writer in order to show the elements of
the novel. Part of elements of the prose are characters, plot, setting, theme, and
point of view. This research uses those elements of prese because those elements
are related. Wellek and Warren (1997:139) in their book “Theory of Literature”
said that 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 (1997:139). Wellek and Warren describe three views of biographical
approach, of which only one the biographical aspects relating to the production of

a work. According to Wallek and Warren, works may indeed reflect the authors
experiences, but they must also reflect an author’s hopes and dreams, or literary
tradition and convention and not a document for biography.
Romantic flow is the flow that can only change the system of NeoClassical critical with pressing arguments relativism. Other times require other
standards as well. Old methods such as classical rhetoric, poetika, and the
dimensions must be learned again and again translated in modern terms.
In the 19th century, explanations to literature by examining its origins,
very popular. This tendency is actually also an attempt to imitate the methods of
the natural sciences. Lee concluded Sir.Sidney academic literary theory approach
that era so. Literary history search for external background, political background,
social, economic, and literary places were made. New methods based on a survey
of modern literary forms have been widely introduced. In France there is a method

followers I.A. Richard began deciding attention to the text and the poetry critic in
America group began trying to restore a major concern in the study of literature.
Numerous studies drama drama suppress differences and life. Many novel studies
not only see the connection works with the social structure, but studying the

artistic method. For example, the events in the novel is a part of the content. But
the way; events are structured plot that is part of the form. The German
researchers trying to find a way out. Actually we only need menagakui, that
means the preparation of the events in the novel are part of the grooves form.
Traditional concept of distinguishing form and content are increasingly visible
weakness when we realize that language is part of the form consists of two terms.
The conclusion of the intrinsic approach by Wallek and Warren is the approach
the data from the text itself. This study used in France.
2.3 Descriptive Research
According to John W. Best (1982:42) in his books “Methodology of
Educational Research” said that there are three types of analysis that can be used
to classify educational research is historical research, description research, and
experimental research.
The first is historical research. Historical research is research that applies the
scientific method of solving a problem from a historical perspective. Collection
and interpretation process that occurred in the past, the present, the future also.
The second is a descriptive research. Descriptive research is to describe
the research indicated that there are phenomena, which take place on the current

or past. This study was able to describe a situation alone, but can also describe a
state in its development stages.
The third is experimental research. Experimental research is the only
research that can test hypotheses to establish causal relationships. This is the
strongest chain of reasoning about relationships between variables.
Based on the above conclusions, the authors choose a descriptive study
because the author describes in detail the six elements of detective novels.
