Abstract

Formula is an essential recipe in a work of fiction or non-fiction, especially in popular literature, formula refers to plots and cultural conventions. The researcher examines a classical detective formula constructed in Agatha Christie's Lord Edgware Dies. The research aims to analyse the classic detective in each chapter that contains elements of situation, pattern of action, character and setting, as well as the scheme built by a detective in solving mysteries based on detection analysis so that it can be ascertained the plot built in each scene. The theory used is the classic detective formula theory designed by Cawelti (1976), and detection theory by Kayalvizhi (2012) in a journal. The researcher used descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that: (1) The novel Lord Edgware Dies is categorised as a classical detective that is arranged sequentially in the faithfulness of its chapters in terms of situations or conditions, pattern of action that build the story, and settings that support each atmosphere. (2) Detection characteristics of the problem-solving process and mystery disclosure are designed by the detective based on each character and their relationships. Theoretically, popular literature formula on plot and cultural conversation is suggested to analyse the situation or condition, pattern of action, characters and setting from Cawelti's theory and the form of mystery solving by the detective from Kayalvizhi. Practically, writers and readers are advised to view formula as a writing tool.
