Abstract

Edmond Dantes and Samsul Bahri are the protagonists of two different literary works, The Count of Monte Cristo and Siti Nurbaya: Kasih Tak Sampai. Both protagonists hailed from religious backgrounds, one from a Christian family, and one from Minangkabau ethnicity. Yet, they sought vengeance in the name of God and acted as Agents of Providence while the vengeance concept itself contradicted both Islamic and Christianity values. In this paper, the researcher would like to conduct a study with the Comparative Literature by Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek. Comparative Literature is a discipline of the study of more than one national language and literature and the knowledge and application of other disciplines in and for the study of literature. This study will analyze discourses that show Piety from both protagonists. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, Discourse means to express oneself. In this study, the discourse that will be analyzed are the protagonists’ conversations, the written language from their letters, and the actions they did from the narrator’s descriptions. To determine a discourse as a discourse of piety, Discourse Analysis is an analysis method that is required to understand, interpret, and consider the discourse as piety or impiety. And finally, it is to compare their piety despite the vengeance concept contradictions with religions through Comparative Literature and finds out the consequences of their actions. As the result of this study, the writer found that Edmond is more pious and wiser than Samsul Bahri, but Samsul Bahri was certain of his actions. Yet, the actions they did have their consequences. Edmond indirectly killed an innocent child, felt heavy guilt, doubted his justice, and questioned himself was his actions really for God. Samsul Bahri died shortly as a consequence after he successfully delivered his vengeance on Datuk Maringgih
