THE COMPARISON OF POLITICAL, ECONOMICAL, AND CULTURAL ISSUES THROUGH SOME CHARACTERS IN DRAMA SCRIPTS OF HENRIK IBSEN'S “A DOLL HOUSE†AND BERNARD SHAW'S “PYGMALION†BASED ON SOCIOLOGICAL CRITICISM
Abstract
The aim of the research is to reveal the similarities and differences between Henrik Ibsen’s and Bernard Shaw’s works which are written in the different time and place. The writer emphasizes three major problems in the research those are 1) what are the effects of economical, political, cultural issues aspects for some characters in “A Doll Houseâ€, 2) what are the effects of economical, political, cultural issues aspects for characters “Pygmalionâ€, 3) what are the similarities and the differences between the political, sociological and cultural issues in “A Doll House†and “Pygmalionâ€. The method which is used in this study is descriptive, while the writer uses the theory of sociological criticism by DiYanni and Stanford. After finishing this research and put it in written form, the writer comes to a conclusion that even though these dramas are written by different authors, in the different time and place, they have similarities in some aspects such as; human right in the political aspect, and the influence of money to some characters in the economical aspects. On the other hand, these two dramas have different cultural aspects.
Key words: drama script, sociological criticism
