ABSTRAK
Skripsi ini berjudul Materialism Viewed from Phillipa Gregory’s Novel The Other Boleyn Girl. Skripsi ini membahas mengenai paham materialisme yang dijumpai dalam novel The Other Boleyn Girl yang bersetting di awal abad ke enam belas. Materialisme berawal dari ide yang dicetuskan oleh Karl Marx mengenai kapitalisme dan perbudakan. Namun seiring berjalannya waktu konsep materialisme ini berkembang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan pemahaman manusia akan materi. Materialisme berkembang menjadi paham yang mengatas namakan kebahagaian yang hanya dapat diperoleh melalui materi. Baik oleh barang- barang mewah maupun status sosial. Dimana akhirnya paham ini seringkali membawa kesengsaraan bagi penganutnya. Skripsi ini terdiri dari 5 (lima) bab; bab I pendahuluan (introduction) membahas tentang latar belakang, batasan masalah, permasalahan, tujuan penulisan, metode penulisan, manfaat penulisan dan beberapa tinjauan pustaka. Bab II membahas tentang tinjauan pustaka dan teori-teori tentang literature, literature and sociology, Marxism dan materialism. . Bab III membahas mengenai beberapa unsur intrinsik dari novel The Other Boleyn Girl seperti theme, character, plot, dan setting. Bab IV berisikan hasil analisis mengenai materialisme yang ditemukan dalam novel The Other Boleyn Girl. Bab V berisikan kesimpulan dan saran .
