Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine Northrop Frye‟s way of looking literature through his four essays. His approach are designed in the spesific essays; First, Theory of modes, Second, Ethical Criticism: Theory of Symbol, Third, Archetypal Criticism: Theory of Myth, Fourth, Rhetorical Criticism: Theory of Genres. The finding showed that every work of art can be categorized as fiction in Frye‟s literary criticism theory. In other word, fiction is an artistic strategy to tell idea by deceiving a story. Meanwhile, the relation between myth and literature is established by studying genres and conventions of literature. In addition, the displacement meant as a technique to make sure that reader of myth and fiction will get the true message of the story. In other word the displacement will really occurs when the reader can find the complete fiction rather than a partial ideology. We hope that the finding will provide valuable insight to the reader to internalizes the literary traditions of comedy, romance, tragedy, and satire so thoroughly that they can be brought to bear concurrently upon whatever text he reads. Key words: Northrop Frye, myth, fiction
