Analisis ‘Sajak Putih’ Karya Chairil Anwar Melalui Pendekatan Psikoanalisa Sigmund Freud

Abstract

Chairil Anwar's "White Poetry" as a literary work in the form of poetry can be analyzed using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic approach. Before analyzing "White Poetry" using psychoanalytic theory, the author first carried out a reading using heruistic and hermeneutic methods. Based on psychoanalysis, it was found that (1) the aesthetic power and value of poetry is not just for beauty, but is an expression of the poet's repressed emotions (soul); (2) repression (repression, in psychoanalytic terms) causes the subconscious to appear in CA's poetry lines; (3) the poet's repressed desires that do not come true until they become dreams that are realized through words that have symbols; and (4) the figurative or figurative language in "White Poems" is parallel to the language or dream text which is full of metaphors and symbols as in Freud's theory.
