Daftar Isi:
- This graduating paper studies two Oscar Wilde�s stories, namely, �The Selfish Giant� and �The Star Child. The research attempts to reveal the process of turning from sin that is experienced by the protagonist of the two stories: the selfish giant and the pride child. The objectives of the research are to see how the repentance is conducted and the effects for the character�s life. The analysis involves the sin committed, the effect of the sin, the reason why the character eventually repented, the characters� action to prove that they have changed, and the life of the character after the repentance. This research used the objective approach by Abrams. In purpose to see the repentance conducted by the characters, the paper concentrated only in the work itself. The data of this research is collected by library research and analyzed by descriptive method. The result tells that the repentance is done by the recognition of sins that leads into the change of mind and behavior. Further it creates character transformation. Repentance happens because there is mistake that should be fixed. It is not easy to fix the mistake. External forces take role to realize the mistake, but to change the mind and behavior is the choice of the sinner himself. The change of mind should be completed with timeless concrete action to prove total turns. And at the end, better life are the fruit for those who have a will to come back to God�s way.
