Synopsis
:
This thesis explores the themes of love in five selected poems by Sir Charles
George Douglas Roberts: Moonlight, The Fear of Love, Love's Translator, Presence,
and The Footpath. The objective of the research is to find the types of love theme and
to identify as well as analyze the figurative language exposing the theme. The intrinsic
approach is used for this research. An extrinsic approach, psychological approach
from John Lee’s theory is also used to analyse the types of love because love relates
to psychology. The data source used in this research consists of the five poems. A
descriptive qualitative method is used in this research. Each poem demonstrates
different types of love as defined by John Lee’s theory, including Eros, Mania, and
Storge, using figurative language to express deeper emotions and meanings.
Moonlight shows Eros love through imagery, metaphors, personification,
apostrophe, and hyperbole, capturing intense longing and desire. The Fear of Love
shows Mania love, characterized by obsession and anxiety, through imagery,
metaphor, and hyperbole. Love's Translator uses symbols of nature and imagery to
reflect the physical attraction and emotional depth of Eros love. In Presence, Eros
love is shown through imagery, personification, and hyperbole showing how the
lover’s presence transforms the speaker's perception of the world. Lately, The
Footpath shows Storge love, emphasizing deep friendship and shared memories,
with imagery, metaphors, and apostrophe, shows the bond between the speaker and
his beloved. In conclusion, this research shows how figurative language is used to
portray the kinds of love theme of the five poems.
