Abstract

Folklore found in Indonesia has a moral value that is beneficial for its readers or listeners. The folklores occasionally have similarities with folklores from other regions both in terms of the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the works. For example, folklores Bawang Merah Bawang Putih from Indonesia and the story of Putri Arabella from Malaysia share similarities in terms of intrinsic elements and moral values. This study attempts to investigate the comparison of these folklores using a comparative literary theory. Three main intrinsic elements that are compared include characters and characterizations, settings, and plot. Meanwhile, the comparison of the moral values between the two folklores is focused on individual moral, social moral, and religious moral. The study shows that the intrinsic elements of Bawang Merah Bawang Putih stories have several connections with Putri Arabella from Malaysia, other than the moral values of the two stories. However, there is also a difference found between the two stories especially in the ending part of the story.
