Data collection used note-taking and documentary techniques by recording quotes or sentences in the text of the novel. The analysis technique used qualitative analysis described the analysis results in sentences, not in numbers. The data validation used two techniques. The first technique was the observer’s persistence to probe deeper into the analysis results to acquire more accurate results. And the second technique was triangulation; it was not using only one view but also several views to get the right result. The results found that there were similarities between the novel Bumi Manusia and Sang Raja. They had similarities in terms of themes, namely about the struggle in the colonial period.
