Abstract

Proses dalam menciptakan imajinasi pada pikiran manusia menurut Alexander berkembang dari hari ke hari dan keadaan ini membuat orang-orang mempunyai suatu keinginan untuk mereka raih. Terkadang keinginan ini bersifat realistis tetapi terkadang juga tidak realistis, ini yang disebut sebagai impian. Kemudian, impian-impian manusia digambarkan dalam sebuah novel yang mana merupakan hasil imajinasi dari manusia yang merefleksikan perilaku manusia melalui karakter. Novel karya John Steinbeck The Pearl menggambarkan tentang perubahan perilaku Kino setelah menemukan mutiara yang berukuran besar. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, teori perubahan perilaku digunakan untuk mengetahui, perubahan perilaku Kino yang digambarkan dalam novel. Penelitian menunjukkan perubahan perilaku Kino yang dikarenakan impian- impiannya yang tidak realistis. Pertama, memberikan pernikahan yang layak untuk Juana di gereja; kedua, membuat Coyotito dapat bersekolah, dan ketiga, keinginan Kino untuk mempunyai senapan, dengan tujuan kesetaraan kelas sosial dengan orang-orang Amerika. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Kino mengalami perubahan perilaku dikarenakan oleh impian-impian Kino yang tidak realistis setelah dia menemukan mutiara berukuran besar. Dia menjadi kurang bersimpati, berperilaku buruk, bahkan membunuh orang dengan tujuan untuk melindungi impian-impiannya.

English Abstract

According to Alexander’s notion about human’s mind, the process of creating imagination is developed day by day, and it makes people have something that they want to achieve. Sometimes it is realistic, but sometimes unrealistic, and it is called as wishes. Moreover, human’s wishes are depicted in a novel as the result of human’s imagination that reflects human’s behaviour through its character. John Steinbeck’s The Pearl portrays Kino’s behaviour change after finding a giant pearl. Then, based on this background, the theory of behaviour change uses to find out Kino’s behaviour change as depicted in the novel. The analysis reveals that Kino’s behaviour change because of his vanity of human wishes. First, he wants Coyotito to go to school; second, he wants to give a proper marriage for Juana in a church, and third, he wishes to have a rifle in order to have the same level with the Americans. The result of the study shows that Kino’s behaviour change because of his vanity of human wishes after he finds the giant pearl. He becomes cold hearted, ignorant, even kills people in order to protect his wishes.
