I. INTRODUCTION
Literary work is an overflow of the author's self-expression using the medium of language. Literary works created by a writer are fictitious, but based on the reality around the author. One of the most popular literary works is the novel. This is because the stories or narratives in the novel can be enjoyed and understood by all ages. According to Kosasih (2008: 54) a novel is an imaginative work that tells the whole side of the problems of the life of a person or several characters.
The essence of literature is storytelling. Storytelling is a form of creative art work performance about an event or event, the object of which is human, and using language as the medium (Wibowo, 2013:37). In line with Wibowo, Dewojati (2015:1) reveals that literary works are works of art, in the form of creative thinking. However, the reference to literary works is not the real world, but the fiction and imagination of the creative mind of a writer. This explains that literary works are the result of human creations using language, to obtain the aesthetics of language in making an interesting work.
Anthropology is a knowledge or study of human behavior. Anthropology views all parts of human culture and society as a combination of interacting variables. Therefore, literature is believed to be a mirror in the life of the people who support it. Moreover, literature is considered as the identity of a nation. Anthropology is divided into cultural anthropology, which is now developing into cultural studies (Ratna, 2013: 64 According to C. Kluckhohn (in Koentjaraninrat, 2015: 154) there are several basic problems in human life that form the basis for the framework of variations in cultural value systems, one of which is the problem of the nature of human relationships with each other. In their behavior, humans who live in a culture are guided by leaders, previous people, or superiors. Other cultures are more concerned with horizontal relationships between humans and each other. A person in a culture will feel dependent on others. These efforts are made to maintain good relations with others. This is something that is considered very important for life.
Seeing this proves that cultural values are very important for us as humans, considering that community culture is always associated with behavior in life that is never separated from the problem of the nature of human relationships with each other, who need each other, and help each other.
