Abstract

The background of this study is the decreasing research about pantun, and Lutung Kasarung pantun as a story that is considered sacred and filled with philosophical thoughts and beliefs by Sundanese people. The ancient Sundanese considered pantun as mythology or history. Most of the pantun talk about Pajajaran nobles (ménak) or historical figures who have strength and power, even being considered gods. Pantun Lutung Kasarung is considered the oldest rhyme, has the highest values and philosophy. This study aims to describe the structure and motifs in pantun Lutung Kasarung. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical with the object of pantun Lutung Kasarung version C.M Pleyte (LKP) and version Ajip Rosidi (LKA). The technique used in this research is documentation. The results: (1) the structure of the LKP and LKA stories has some differences even though the stories both tell about Lutung Kasarung, and (2) accumulatively there are 18 motifs found in LKP and LKA. Lutung Kasarung has a lot of philosophical values, not just a fairy tale of a king/God looking for his one true soul. More than that, Lutung Kasarung is a belief and image of ancient people believing in dunia atas (upper world) which is considered sacred and full of mystique.
