Binary Opposition Structure in the Novel ‘Uṣfūr min al-Syarq by Taufiq al-Ḥakīm (Structuralism Study)
Keywords:
Structuralism, Binary Opposition, Lucien Goldmann, 'Usfur min al-Syarq, Tawfiq al-HakīmAbstract
The meaning of a literary work cannot be separated from the structure that builds it with the principle of inter-relationship. The structure of a literary work is not only a collection of elements that build it but also the relationship between elements. From Goldman's perspective, the principle of inter-relationship is the binary opposition relationship between characters and characters and between characters and surrounding objects. Among the phenomenal novels with an interesting structure to study is the novel 'Usfur min al-Syarq by Tawfiq al-Hakīm. This novel tells the polemic of Eastern youth who try to accommodate Eastern and Western cultures. With analytical and formal descriptive methods, this article tries to dissect the relationship of the elements that build the novel, namely the binary opposition relationship between characters and characters and characters and surrounding objects. With the method of observing and noting, the author tries to collect data related to the research variables in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs in the novel. From this, a binary opposition relationship was found between characters and characters and characters and surrounding objects that were based on the polemic of Western and Eastern ideologies.
