Analysis of Social Aspects in Literary Sociology in a Drama Script Entitled "Do'a Si Miskin" by Rodli TL

Abstract

This study examines social tensions and class prejudices that are reflected in the interaction between characters in drama texts. The main problem raised is how social prejudice and discrimination based on economic status create injustice and tension in social relations. This research also explores the role of solidarity and spirituality in dealing with social injustice. The purpose of this research is to analyze the ways in which literary works express and critique existing social structures and promote the values of empathy and justice. The method used in this study is text analysis with a literary sociology approach. This analysis highlights the interactions between characters in the play to understand how class prejudice and social discrimination are portrayed and criticized. Through dialogue between figures, this study identifies examples of social injustice and how certain figures show solidarity and empathy to fight such prejudices. The results of the study show that class prejudice and social discrimination can create tension and injustice, but they can also be countered through acts of solidarity and support between individuals. Additionally, spirituality and religious observance play an important role in providing strength and comfort to persecuted individuals, as well as being a tool for seeking justice. The implication of this study is that literary works have the potential to serve as a mirror and critique of existing social structures. Literary works can promote positive values such as empathy, solidarity, and justice. The limitation of this study is that the analysis is based only on specific quotes, so it may not cover the entire complexity of the themes and characters in the drama text. For further research, it is recommended to conduct a more comprehensive analysis of the entire text and consider the broader historical and cultural context.
