ABSTRAK
Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There karya Lewis Caroll menceritakan tentang seorang gadis cilik bernama Alice, yang berpetualang ke dunia cermin dimana dia bertemu dan berinteraksi dengan berbagai tokoh fantasi seperti Red Queen, Humpty Dumpty, si kembar Tweedledum dan Tweedledee, dan lain sebagainya. Perjalanan Alice ini penuh dengan kejadiankejadian aneh sekaligus menggelikan, yang disertai dengan keberadaan tokohtokoh yang unik, yang seakan-akan memiliki maksud tertentu. Kisah ini menggugah penulis untuk mengetahui apakah ada keterkaitan antara tokoh-tokoh tersebut dengan Alice, yang merupakan seorang anak perempuan yang sedang beranjak dewasa. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini mencoba mengungkapkan simbolsimbol yang ada di dalam novel untuk menemukan peranan tokoh maupun hal-hal lain di dalam cerita bagi perkembangan Alice. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan makna setiap simbol yang ada di dalam novel serta menjelaskan bagaimana simbol-simbol tersebut membantu Alice dalam proses pembentukan individu. Dalam menjalankan penelitian ini, pendekatan yang dipakai adalah pendekatan arketip mengingat bahwa pendekatan ini pernah digunakan oleh Carl Jung untuk menganalisa kepribadian. Pendekatan arketip adalah suatu pendekatan yang bertujuan mengungkapkan makna, gagasan dan pemikiran dibalik sifat dan perilaku seseorang. Hasil analisa mengungkapkan bahwa ada sejumlah simbol yang terdapat di dalam novel, yaitu Red Queen sebagai simbol kebajikan, Humpty Dumpty sebagai simbol kejahatan, Tweedledum dan Tweedledee sebagai simbol kejantanan, serta Mahkota sebagai simbol keutuhan. Simbol-simbol ini memiliki arketip tertentu khususnya bagi diri Alice, dimana Red Queen menggambarkan Persona, Humpty Dumpty menggambarkan Shadow, Tweedledum dan Tweedledee menggambarkan Animus, serta Mahkota menggambarkan the Self. Semuanya terbukti membantu Alice dalam proses pembentukan individunya mengingat Alice dapat mengenali sisi baik dalam dirinya melalui Red Queen, mengetahui sisi buruknya melalui Humpty Dumpty, mendapati sisi maskulin dalam dirinya melalui Tweedledum dan Tweedledee serta pada khirnya menyadari dan menerima keutuhan dirinya melalui Mahkota.

ABSTRACT
Lewis Caroll’s Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There tells about a girl named Alice, who travels in the mirror world in which she meets and interacts with a number of fictious characters such as Red Queen, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee the twins, and others. Her journey is filled with weird incidents as well as hillarious, coupled with the presence of unique characters that as if having certain intentions. This story encourages the writer to know whether there is a connection between those characters and Alice, a girl who is growing adult. Therefore, this study tries to reveal the symbols in the novel to find the roles of either the characters or other things in the story for Alice’s development. The objectives of this study are to reveal the meanings of every symbol in the novel and to explain how those symbols help Alice in her individuation process. In conducting this study, the approach that is being used is archetypal approach considering that this approach was once used by Carl Jung to analize personality. Archetypal approach is an approach that is intended to reveal the meanings, ideas and thoughts beyond someone’s natures and behavior. The results of the analysis reveal that there are some symbols in the novel, which are Red Queen as a symbol of nobility, Humpty Dumpty as a symbol of mischief, Tweedledum and Tweedledee as a symbol of manhood and Crown as a symbol of completeness. These symbols possess certain archetype especially for Alice, where Red Queen describes her Persona, Humpty Dumpty describes her Shadow, Tweedledum and Tweedledee describe her Animus and Crown describes the Self. All of them are proven to help Alice in her individuation process as she can identify her good side through Red Queen, ackonwledge her bad side through Humpty Dumpty, find her masculine side through Tweedledum and Tweedledee, as well as finally realize and accept her complete self through Crown.
