Abstract

Literature is an imaginative work of the author's creativity; it is also a reflection of society at a specific time and is considered as one of the socio-cultural documents. The sociology of literature is a theory that studies how literature is related to the social condition of society. Materialism is a social condition that occurs frequently in society because the material is one aspect that affects human life. The purpose of this study is to find out how materialism appears in society in the novel The Great Gatsby and the novel Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck. This study used Alan Swingewood's theory of sociology of literature and Karl Marx's Materialism. This study also used Susan Basnett's theory of Comparative Literature to discuss two works from different regions and times using descriptive qualitative and comparative research methods. The results of this study found that materialism in society in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Hamka’s Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck was impacted by changing social conditions at that time. American society has to adapt to life after the war, industrial development, and rapid economic progress and the Minangkabau society obeys the custom and keeps up with the times so that people there have to fulfill their material needs to survive in their social environment. The researcher suggests to future researchers to be able to analyze literary work based on theory sociology of literature and its connection with society in better detail so it can be called a socio-cultural document.
