Individual Interests in Novel Sebelas Patriot by Andrea Hirata Based on Perspective of Comte’s Rasionality

“…Previous studies that are relevant to this study are: (1) research on social changes in the West Cilebut village community after the conversion of plantation land into housing [16]; (2) research on individual and general interests in the novel Anak Rantau by Ahmad Fuadi based on critical psychology [17]; (3) research that investigates cases of social change in terms of the forms, causes, and impacts experienced by the characters in the novel Pencari Harta Karun and Five On a Hike Together based on social intertextuality [18]; (4) research that examines the social behavior of the main character based on the interpersonal theory approach of William C. Schultz in the novel Confession Pariyem [19]; (5) research that examines aspects of literary psychology in the novel Sebelas Patriot by Andrea Hirata [20].…”

“…Judging from the exposure of previous studies, researchers found similarities and differences with this study. The similarities lie in the focus of social change as human actions as social beings and the same object of study in the fifth study, while the general difference lies in topics such as the approach of social change and social interaction in the influence of land conversion on the West Cilebut village community [16]; an individual psychology approach in analysing individual interests in the object of study [17]; the intertextuality theory approach in analysing the social aspects of the novel [18]; aspects of social behaviour with a different perspective, namely William C. Schulz [19]; the psychological aspects of the same object, namely the novel Sebelas Patriot [20]. In this study, researchers want to continue researching aspects of human social change that focus on individual interests experienced by the main character in Andrea Hirata's novel Sebelas Patriot.…”
