- Abstract
This study aims to describe how Marni’s life choices in the Kubah novel’s by Ahmad Tohari when analyzed with Sara Mills’s critical discourse analysis theory (AWK Sara Mills). The description of Marni is interesting to study for two reasons. First, Marni lives a life that is often faced with difficult choices. Because Karman, Marni’s husband, is the Secretary of “Partindo” and also a member of the communists, after the G30S / PKI rebellion, he had to live his life independently. Second, even when she married Marni had to face tough choices because Parta, her new husband, did not have emotional closeness with Rudio, Marni’s first child with Karman. In addition, Marni also had to face the fact that she actually had a guilty conscience towards Karman.
The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. In addition, this research also uses structuralism method which is used when tracing Marni’s character. These stages are carried out in the collection of research data in the form of words, phrases or sentences related to Marni’s perspective, expression and behavior, to the making of generalizations and conclusions.
Based on an analysis of the discourse “Marni’s Life Choices in Ahmad Tohari’s Kubah novel” with Sara Mills’s critical discourse analysis theory, it can be concluded that Marni has acted both as a subject and at the same time as an object. The author places her as a strong female figure and surrenders her life to God Almighty, Allah SWT.
