Based on the theory of sociological criticism in the
literary approach, that literary work was born from the author's anxiety over
the social conditions that occurred in his time, then meluapkan the anxiety in
the form of creative like a song .. This work is made by an author with
purposes display some important messages may rarely be found in society through
any media. In addition, literature also has the function to create world
offered in the work, some proponents of this theory hope that literary works
can have usefulness in any form.
Born from this theory, the writer intends to analyze
a literary work included in a song, from a band from sakura country, japan, ONE
OK ROCK, with the title "be the light". Which partly inspired writers
in looking at the world today.
Why is the author interested in writing this work?
There are several reasons, firstly, this work is not contained in the nature of
romanticism that has dominated the literary genre; secondly, this work alludes
to all societies of injustice and oppression in the world today, war, murder
and even poverty are told in this song in a language that must be assessed
contextually and explicitly.
Being with the title "be the light", this
song is fascinating to my attention, because the author believes that light is
the principle of prosperity and happiness, enlightenment for the darkness that
dominates today. The author will analyze this work with sociological criticism
approach.
I started from the text of the song, the author
finds a heart content that the songwriter really wants to convey. By observing
the sociological conditions of the world, the songwriters find cruelty, sorrow
and injustice to those who are in the oppressed class. Poverty and hunger are
the daily gloomy scenery, such as the genocide massacre of the spirits, the
seizure of the territory of power by israel in Palestine, witnessed by the
whole world but they pretend to be blind, hear the screams of pain, the world
feigns deafness, done by us today ?.
The author focuses on a hope brought by the
songwriter. With the light, there is darkness in the world, so some of us have
to be a light, a world that is in a colonized world without being packed in a
more refined form (neoimperialism). Darkness for writers such as a hell-like
condition, humans are no longer able to classify kindness and hypocrisy,
because they are blind in the dark world.
Be light, this is the essence of the goal the author
conceives for us to illuminate the dark age of today. No more can be expected
besides us as future generations. The darkness out there is very strong and we
need to unite the light from each of our hearts to fight it into a light that
no longer sadness and tears.
