Abstract

This article aims to analyze the character education in two popular novels, Asma Nadia’s Surga yang tak dirindukan (The Heaven None Missed) and Aguk Irawan’s Air Mata Tuhan (Tears of God). These two novels were chosen because they describe the struggles of the main characters in finding the meaning of life and facing challenges that involve character growth. This study uses the feminist logotherapy approach as a theoretical framework to understand the character education in these novels. The analysis results show that the two novels describe strong character education. The main characters experience significant changes and growth along with their journey of searching for the meaning of life. They face moral conflicts, emotional difficulties, and social pressures that test the meaningfulness of their lives. The character education found in these novels includes values such as honesty, integrity, courage, patience, and compassion. The main characters learn to take responsibility for their actions, to face suffering with dignity, and to form meaningful relationships with those around them. This study also discusses the relevance of character education in the two novels to real life. The values promoted in these novels can serve as inspirational examples and trigger reflections in shaping individual characters in everyday life.
