DeconstructionDeconstruction In Practice In deconstruction
the signified and the signifier are unstable, and can take on multiple meanings.
In other words Deconstruction looks at the ambiguities in
signifiers, and states that there can be many different signified meanings for a single signifier
SITI NURBAYAMinangkabau (west Sumatra ) Marah Rusli (1922 )by Balai Pustaka.
Sitti Nurbaya o Siti Nurbaya, a modest and pretty girl, was
falling in love with Samsul Bahri, a handsome young man of Minang people in West Sumatera, Indonesia. They had planned to get married soon after they reached the age of maturity. Their parents had made an agreement that they would allow and even positively encourage Siti Nurbaya and Samsul Bahri to get married.
.o In an unfortunate situation, Bagindo
Sulaiman, as the father of Siti Nurbaya,
and her wife as well, had a great debt to
Datuak Maringgih. Datuak Maringgih was
an old man, very old, with many wives. He
could have that chance to marry many
girls in that town because he was rich and
a landlord in the area.
.o Knowing that she had been forced to get
married with Datuak Maringgih, Siti Nurbaya
killed herself by eating poisonous “lemang”, a
specific food made by rice and red sugar in
Minang.
.o When Bagindo Sulaiman wanted to beg for
the mercy of Datuak Maringgih about the
debt, the old man decided that the debt could
be considered as over when Bagindo
Sulaiman let him married Siti Nurbaya.
Bagindo Sulaiman had no other choice in that
condition.
.Lately, Datuak Maringgih and Samsul Bahri
were met in a battle when fighting with the
Dutch colonial. They were both finally dead. At
last, the love of Siti Nurbaya and Samsul Bahri
was never realized
Response of the public Reader In general of reader assumes that Samsul
Bahri is a protagonist hero, handsome and white. Datuk Maringgih an antagonist, Old, malicious and moneylenders.
By way of deconstruction the situation it will reversed
Point of view in Deconstructionist Critism Be mentally, samsul is a a whiny man, failed
in love with a girl where he thinks she is a good girl, actually she was a widow. he tried to suicide himself.
Samsul is the betrayer of the nationFighting with the Datu Maringgih, actually he fighting with his own country and defend against the Dutch.
. In the other side Datuk Maringgih is a bad
man, moneylenders, and had many wives, but
in fact ,he againsts to rebellion ( Dutch
colonialists ) although it is motivation itself
tobe a richman , because the Dutch get the
most a tax.
