Abstract

The title of this graduating paper is The Form and the Function of Humor in Mark Twain’s Short Stories entitled The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Steamboat Race. The writer chooses to discuss humor because until now humor is often assumed as a joke only without discussing about its complex forms and functions. The writer chooses Mark Twain’s short stories because Mark Twain is the prominent short story writer and his story stories contain the variations of humors. The method of this research is qualitative method by applying descriptive analysis. The objective of this study is to describe the form and the function of humors in The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Steamboat Race short stories. The theory used in this research is Psychoanalysis Theory presented by Sigmund Freud about the classification and the function of humor. Based on that theory, there are two common forms of humors and there are three common functions of humors. From the analysis, it can be found that both of the short stories contain all forms of humors and all of the functions mentioned by Freud. Nevertheless, the result of this research concludes that there is actually no exact formula about the relation between the form and the function of humor. It means that two similar forms of humors can have the different function.
