Abstract

This thesis describes Carlyle's hesitancy towards Muhammad as a representation of the Eastern nations. By using the Postcolonial literary criticism theory, specifically the Orientalism theory presented by Edward Said and ambivalence as the second theory from Homi Bhabha. The authors found that Carlyle's writings showed a negative Western prejudice that always looked down on Easterners. However, the author turns out to have ambivalent thoughts that are inconsistent between defending the East or attacking it like Bhabha’s theory. Carlyle was hesitant in representing the Eastern figure. He praised him as hero and great man. After analyzing the writings of Carlyle it turned out that the spirit of Western Orientalism was never objective in writing his views on the East. By using the view of ambivalence as the basic ideology of the author. The results of the analysis show that in the representation of the East is only a prejudice created and considered right by Orientalists towards the East. Finally, ambivalence is a way to hide and justify Western imperialism against the East.
