Abstract: This study analyzes the value of life in the novel Senandung Bisu by Aguk Irawan M. N. The purpose of this study is to describe the form of interaction between the characters in Aguk Irawan MN’s Senandung Bisu. Researchers used two data collection techniques, namely the library technique and the note-taking technique. The author uses a structural method or approach and sociology of literature. The research results of this novel interaction form include: 1) Superordination and Subordination, Lik Soyi’s relationship and also Zulfin who are superiors and subordinates. This is done to establish a reciprocal relationship between those who lead and those who are led. 2) Conflict. The obvious conflict seen in the novel Senandung Bisu is the dispute between Zulfin and Wuryani. Wuryani continues to demonize the Zulfin family, from stating that Zulfin is a rich asshole, to insulting Zulfin for wanting to imitate the success of his family and children, to claiming Dlori and Zulfin are a cheapskate family because they don’t want to share the abundant citrus harvest with their neighbors. 3) Exchange, the first information exchange was made by the mothers at the beginning of the story who talked about the donation given to Zulfin every time she gave birth. 4) Sexual intercourse, explicitly shown by the main character an invitation to carry out reproductive activities to have another child. A husband and wife are doing reproductive activities to share their sadness until the fetus is filled again.

Keywords: form of interaction, sociology of literature, the novel Senandung Bisu

I. INTRODUCTION

Griswold (in Singer, 2011) explained that many published novels describe the interaction of traditional rural communities in the past so that the current generation understands the interaction patterns of past rural communities through the novels they publish. Taine (in Jadhav, 2014) also stated that literature is not merely a form of people’s thoughts. It is made from environmental atmosphere and the social process as well from certain time setting, so that literary works are social-cultural documents that become portraits of condition at certain times or era (Endraswara, 2011:26). As stated by Prastowo (2011), all materials (whether in the form of tools, information and text) that have a systematic arrangement which can present a complete picture in the process of studying literature, must be accompanied by a manual for studying literature. Novels are close to vocabularies which have novelty meaning because compared to other types of literary works, novels are newly emerging works (Akbar et al., 2013).
