Abstract

Setiap manusia dilahirkan untuk bebas dan menjalani hidup berdasarkan keputusannya sendiri. Keputusan personal atau pilihan pribadi dibuat setelah melalui pengalaman pribadi. Fenomena kehidupan manusia dalam menjalani hidup menjadi perhatian untuk beberapa orang yang kemudian mengembangkan teori eksistensialisme. Berdasarkan definisi teori eksistensialisme menurut Paul Kleinmann di bukunya yang berjudul Philosophy 101, manusia harus menemukan jati dirinya di dunia ini. Ada beberapa karya sastra yang membahas keaslian kepututusan individu dalam kebebasan. Banyak lagu Amerika yang juga membahas tentang hal ini, ada beberapa lagu yang membahas masalah keberadaan manusia seperti lagu lagu Bob Dylan. Ada 3 lagu yang dipilih oleh penulis karena terbukti bahwa Dylan adalah orang Amerika pertama yang memenangkan nobel sastra di bidang literatur. Karya Bob Dylan yang berjudul “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” “Desolation Row,” dan “Not Dark Yet” dipilih sebagai obyek penelitian ini karena menggambarkan koneksi otentik dan kebebasan otonom. Rumusan masalah penulis adalah bagaimana keaslian keputusan individu dalam kebebasan digambarkan dalam lirik lagu Bob Dylan yang berjudul “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” “Desolation Row,” dan “Not Dark Yet”? Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan biografi untuk menganalisa data. Pendekatan biografi digunakan untuk menguji hubungan antara kehidupan Bob Dylan dan karya sastranya. Metode ini digunakan untuk mengerti dan memahami sebuah karya sastra dengan cara mempelajari lebih dalam mengenai kehidupan sang pencipta karya sastra. Teori eksistensialisme digunakan untuk menganalisa lirik lagu Bob Dylan yang fokus pada keaslian keputusan individu.

English Abstract

All humans are born to be free and live their life through their own decision. Personal decision or individual choice has been made through personal experience. The phenomenon of man’s existence in his life has become a concern for several people who later develop the theory of existentialism. Based on the existentialism definition by Paul Kleinman in his book of Philosophy 101, humans should find their own existence in this world. There are some literary works that expose authenticity of individual choice in freedom. Since much of the story of American music is also caught up in the search for authenticity, there are some songs which expose the issue of human existence such as Bob Dylan songs. There are 3 songs that chosen by the writer as it was proven by the fact that Dylan was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature. Bob Dylan’s works on “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” “Desolation Row,” and “Not Dark Yet” are selected as the object of this research as they reflect both authentic connection and autonomous freedom. This study tries search to the authenticity of individual choice of freedom which is reflected in Bob Dylan’s three selected song lyrics. This study used biographical approach as the tools to analyse the data. Biographical approach is employed to examine the relation between Bob Dylan’s biography with his literary works. This method is used to understand and comprehend a literary work by studying deeper about the author life. The existentialism theory is used to analyse Bob Dylan’s song lyrics which is concern on authenticity of individual choice. The result of this study explains that Bob Dylan has portrayed himself as having more superior moral values and moral sense than those of the rest American 60’s generation, encouraging his listeners to free themselves from any political actions, possessive love, and any social structures, and holding faith and accepting mortality despite a very grim situation. Based on the research findings, the writer offers some suggestion which will be valuable for the future related research. The writer believes that it will be beneficial in conducting research dealing with Bob Dylan’s other lyrics in different periods, whether older or newer periods. Thus, findings related with how Bob Dylan had experienced any authenticity changing can be obtained.
