Abstract

In reading texts, such literary works or non-literary works, the readers may find similarity between one text and other texts. This similarity creates a connection which is called intertextuality. Faiclough (1989) stated that intertextuality is a part of interpretation of a text based on Critical Discourse Analysis. There are three stages of Critical Discourse Analysis: description, interpretation, and explanation. This thesis is a report of an intertextual study between Elizabeth Aston’s The Second Mrs. Darcy and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The focus of this study is to find and classify the similarity between two novels, interpret and explain the intertextual similarities between them. The data used are two literary works that are Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Elizabeth Aston’s The Second Mrs. Darcy. From the gathered idea, therefore, problem of the statements are formulated: (1) what intertextual features are shown in Elizabeth Aston’s The Second Mrs. Darcy and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice?, (2) what are the possible motivations of intertextuality in Elizabeth Aston’s The Second Mrs. Darcy and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice? The study found 4 intertextual features which can be found in the data; introductory sentence, characters, settings, and plots. The finding shows that Elizabeth Aston’s The Second Mrs. Darcy has several similarities which connect to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. This study also discusses the possible motifs of Elizabeth Aston in building intertextuality links between her The Second Mrs. Darcy and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. It is concluded that there are 16 details of intertextuality features found in the data and there are 3 possible motifs of Elizabeth Aston in doing intertextuality: (1) to create continuity of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, (2) to show her expertise in writing is as great as Jane Austen, (3) to create or re-write the existing idea by developing different or new focus.
