Genetic-structuralist analysis on \"the road not taken\" and \"stopping by woods on a snowy evening\" / Moh. Alex Chandra

Abstrak
Key Words genetic structuralism worldview sociological aesthetics Using Genetic Structuralism as the theoretical basis this study will give a new way in criticizing the poems. Genetic Structuralism is introduced by Lucien Goldmann. He believes that literary work is a dynamic structure because it is considered as a product of a historical process. During the process literary work is influenced by the existence of society where the literary work is created. As a result there is the same structure between the structure of the literary work and the structure of the society. Goldmann continues that the basis of this theory is the hypothesis that all human behavior is an attempt to give a meaningful response to a particular situation to create a balance between the human as the subject and the environment as the object. Usually this theory is used to analyze prosaic works because this theory needs characters as an imaginative element to investigate the author s worldview. Through this study I try to apply Genetic Structuralism as a foundation in studying poems in order to see the poet s worldview. It seems odd to use this theory in studying poems but it does not mean that it is impossible to apply this theory in criticizing the poems still there is a weakness. The weakness is that not all types of poems have imaginative characters. So Genetic Structuralism is only applicable to lyrical poems. First I analyze the poems through the construction of the lines in each stanza. Every word and phrase in the lines is investigated including the meanings the forms the synonyms and the basic reason which deals with the usage of the words criticized. Then I turn the meaning of each word in the poem into interpretations that later will be used to compare it which the biography of the poet. The comparison process will produce a new conclusion. This conclusion will be used as the main idea to investigate the poet s worldview. The poet s worldview is compared to the structure of the poem. When there is a synchronic relation between the worldview and the structure of the poems then it means that the sociological aesthetic is achieved well. The result of this study deals with the poet s worldview in this study Robert Frost produces three basic elements as the basis of the construction of The Road Not Taken and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening . The elements are God Nature and Human. Among those elements there is a close relation each other. God as the Highest element is the Most Powerful One. God takes control of the two other elements. The two elements would not exist if there were no God as the controller. The rest of the elements stand in the same level.
