Abstract

Mugiono, Taufik. 2019. Preceptor I: Dr. Redyanto Noor, M. Hum. Preceptor II: Drs. M. Muzakka, M. Hum. This research is entitled “Perbandingan Motif, Tipe, dan Tema Cerita “Malin Kundang” (Indonesia) Karya Tira Ikranegara dengan Cerita “Egle Si Ratu Ular” (Lithuania) Karya Maggie Tiojakin (Studi Komparatif Struktur Cerita)”. The story entitled “Malin Kundang” (Indonesia) by Tira Ikranegara, and the story “Egle Si Ratu Ular” (Lithuania) by Maggie Tiojakin tells about a child who disappoints his/her mother. This study aims to answer two main problems: (1) How is the structure of fiction in the form of characters and characterizations, plots, settings, and themes in the story of "Malin Kundang" and the story of "Eglé Si Ratu Ular"; (2) How is the study of "Malin Kundang" story and the story of "Eglé Si Ratu Ular" in comparative literary studies such as: motive, type, and theme. To be able to answer these two problems, a fiction structure and comparative literature are used. Fiction structure is used to describe and analyze the story structure of both stories, while comparative literature is used to find similarities and differences in motive, type, and theme. The results of the study showed that even though the story of "Malin Kundang" and the story of "Egle Si Ratu Ular" came from different countries, both stories had almost the same motive, type and theme. However, the two stories have differences at the end of the story that can be seen from the change in the child character who disappoints his/her mother. Malin Kundang character in the story of "Malin Kundang" becomes a stone, while Egle character transforms herself and her childrens into trees according to their respective characteristic.
