Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the use of comparative figures of speech in the poem "Doa Seorang Pesolek" by Joko Pinurbo. Literary works, especially poetry, are a medium of expression that utilizes the richness of language to convey the author's ideas and reflections. The use of figurative language (figure of speech) is an essential aspect in poetry because it functions to create aesthetic beauty and strengthen the delivery of messages. Comparative figures of speech are figures of speech used to enhance the impact of communication by comparing a specific object with another, more general object, building meaning that touches the reader's thoughts and emotions. The poem "Doa Seorang Pesolek" was chosen because it contains the inner struggle of an individual who is obsessed with physical beauty while also longing for spiritual things. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive method, this study analyzes the physical structure of the poem, especially the comparative figures of speech, which consist of metaphor, simile, personification, allegory, and hyperbole. The results of the analysis show that Joko Pinurbo uses comparative figures of speech (metaphor, personification, simile, hyperbole) and other figures of speech (repetition, metonymy, euphemism) to build a poetic narrative that is rich in meaning, contains irony, social criticism, and spiritual reflection.
