Abstract

The description of the romance formula in selected novels by Jojo Moyes is the main objective to be analyzed in this study. The novels are entitled Me Before You, The Girl You Left Behind, and The Last Letter From Your Lover. This study also aims to analyze how the appeal and conflict of hero and heroine as the main supports in building a depiction of a romance formula. Two research problems as the main focus of this research are the appeal of hero and heroine and the conflicts that occur between hero and heroine. This study uses a qualitative method. This research uses the theory of genre fiction analysis. The theory used is Cawelti’s theory of romance formulas. The approach used in this theory is to reveal the forms of romance formulas and their supporting elements such as appeals and conflicts between hero and heroine in the stories so that they can be understood properly. In this study, the researcher finds quotations and narrations in the novels that match based on the characteristics of the theory. The results of this study indicate that the romance formula built in the novel is based on the appeals of the hero and heroine in the stories. Me Before You talks about Louisa’s humble as the heroine and Will’s selflessness as the hero. The Girl You Left Behind talks about Liv’s persistence as a heroine and Paul’s sincerity as a hero. The Last Letter from Your Lover talks about Ellie’s curiosity as a heroine and Rory’s helpful as a hero. Whereas, in the form of conflict between hero and heroine that builds a romance formula, Me Before You talks about the effort of Louisa can’t change Will’s decision. The Girl You Left Behind talks the clash of Paul’s professionalism and sincerities. The Last Letter From Your Lover talks about love story investigation by letter.
