Abstract

Putri Tandampalik, a South Sulawesi tale, has recalled one of the major phenomena that long recited in the prose narrative. The main character, a royal princess, represents an idea that fitting into a multicultural society and the looming crisis seemed strangely prophetic. This story somehow talks about a series of motifs as it entails a cultural background in a sensible way. When the incurable disease occurred, the princess by consent was exiled to Wajo in approving the higher authority. The conflict has foreshadowed gender issues within the patriarchal system, yet the female character is subject to a far-reaching change. Due to this antagonism, this research, therefore, aims to identify and reason with the theme behind the narrative. Thompson’s motif-index collaboratively works with Dundes’ method of structural analysis in reading the elements of folk literature. The recurring thematic index acknowledges matter-of-factness and mythic features found as a formula in referencing a paragon of virtue, awakening the primitive image (goddess) into public. Thus, Putri Tandampalik speaks upon a portrait of a culture and its transformation that inspire the process of sublimation.
