PRELIMINARY

A. BACKGROUND

Literature is basically a creation, a creation not merely an imitation (in

Luxemburg, 1989: 5). Literary work as a form and result of a creative work, is
essentially a medium that utilizes language to express human life. Therefore, a
literary work, in general, contains the problems that surround human life. The
emergence of literature was born against the background of the basic human
urge to express his existence. (in Sarjidu, 2004:2).
Usually literature is divided according to geographical region or language. So,
what are included in the Literature category are: Novels, short stories (written
orally). poetry, rhymes, plays/drama, paintings/calligraphy.
Novel is one form of a literary work. Novel is a fictional story in the form of
writing or words and has intrinsic and extrinsic elements. A novel usually tells
about human life in interacting with the environment and each other. In a
novel, the author tries his best to direct the reader to pictures of the reality of
life through the stories contained in the novel.
According to the repertoire of modern Indonesian literature, novels are
different from romances. A romance presents a more complex storyline and
the number of actors (story characters) is also greater. This is very different
from the novel which is simpler in the presentation of the storyline and the
story characters shown in the story are not too many.
Based on the reviews above, I created this paper to help readers who want to
pursue the world of novels. In addition to the definition and elements of the
novel, this paper is also equipped with examples of novels by type.

B. PURPOSE OF WRITING
 I created this paper to help readers to get to know more about the novel. To
understand the meaning of the novel in more depth, to know its
characteristics, to know what types of novels are and their examples.
Hopefully this paper can increase interest in reading about literature,
especially: novels for teenagers today. Make them appreciate the various
literary works that have been made to be enjoyed by the readers.

 DISCUSSION

A. DEFINITION OF NOVEL

Of the many forms of literature such as essays, poetry, novels, short stories,
dramas, novel forms, short stories are the ones that are read the most by the
readers. Classical modern works in literature, mostly also contain works of
novels.
Novel is the most popular form of literature in the world. This form of
literature is the most widely circulated, because of its broad communication
power in society. As reading material, novels can be divided into two groups,
namely serious works and entertainment works. This opinion is true but there
is also a continuation. Namely that not everything that is able to provide
entertainment can be called a serious literary work. A serious novel is not only
required to be a beautiful work, interesting and thus also provide
entertainment for us. But it also demands more than that. Novel is a novel,
the main condition is that it must be interesting, entertaining and bring
satisfaction after people have read it.
A good novel to read for self-improvement. A good novel is a novel whose
contents can humanize the readers. On the other hand, entertainment novels
are only read for casual purposes. The important thing is to give the reader
fun to finish it. The entertainment novel tradition is bound up with patterns.
Thus, it can be said that serious novels have a social function, while
entertainment novels only have a personal function. Novels have a social
function because good novels help foster community parents to become
human. While entertainment novels don’t care whether the stories that are
presented do not build people or not, the important thing is that the novels
are captivating and people want to read them quickly.
Many writers provide a limit or definition of the novel. The boundaries or
definitions they provide are different because the point of view they use is also
different.
