Abstract
ABSTRACT
Literature is defined as the beautiful world which has its characteristic. The beautiful thing can be shown in the works of literature, literary work. As one example of literary work is novel. The readers will get the beautiful one with their own way in enjoying the novel. The beautifulness of literary work, especially novel is not separated from the structure of the novel itself, such as character, plot, setting and so on.
The existence of a novel will be more enjoyable and more valuable if it has been studied deeply, especially in identifying the elements or one of the elements of the novel. Similar with this research when the researcher has more attention to the novel Five Point Someone, the story about someone who has the five points in college. The researcher wants to break the action in this novel use Greimas’ actantial model that consist of three pairs binary opposition, subject vs object, sender and receiver, helper vs opponent. While the three pairs’ binary opposition is gathered by three axes, between subject and object, there is the axis of desire, between sender and receiver there is the axis of transmission and the last between helper and opponent there is power.
This research discusses a problem; it is identifying and investigating the actans in the novel Five Point Someone use Greimas’ actantial model. The aim of actantial analysis is describing the actions that happen in Five Point Someone by identifying the three pair’s binary opposition. For example an actant in this study, Ryan’s prime hope in IIT is becoming a good Indian engineer (sender), but there was a problem with the rule of grading system in IIT (object) that must to be solved. Ryan (subject) wants to break the rule of grading system, while there were a little bit arrogant people who create this rule, Prof. Cherian. His arrogant and egoism (opponent) makes everyone in IIT does not brave to break down the rule of grading system. In the process of break down the rule of grading system, Ryan’s two friends, Alok and Hari help Ryan and also the IIT-ans in low grade (helper) who gives the agreement with Ryan’s plan. Finally, the impact of Ryan action is for the low grades (receiver), because Ryan tries to lose the discrimination the students based on the grade in IIT.
Greimas actantial model figures the rules of action, an action occurred because of someone’s or something’s (subject) act to get another one or another thing (object), while in the process of getting someone or something is influenced by others, there is someone or something as the helper and the opponent, and also before doing the action, someone or something has the hidden desire why someone or something wants to do this action (sender), then after this action, it will probably think to what or to whom (receiver) this action occurred.
