By: Mustika Nur Amalia
Comparative Literature Studies

This paper is written in order to fulfill the task from ‘Development of Literature Division’ at Balai Bahasa Yogyakarta. The aim of the paper is to seek local wisdom in certain literary work then relate it to the Javanese tradition. Literary work that would be analyzed in this paper is James Joyce’s short story entitled ‘A Painful Case’. I choose this work because this story is highlighted the painfulness of the main character when Duffy chose to live in isolation far away from the society’s feast. Aristotle, a philosopher stated that human is zoon politicon means that human as social beings. Social life cannot be separated from human nature. We can learn from Aristotle’s theory that human beings have tendency to live with others in order to achieve perfection in life. Human cannot live individually so that they need others to survive. In short, by having good social life, the perfection in life will be fulfilled and they will be experienced good life. Therefore, as human being we tend to live in group. However, in the story told that the main character named Duffy choose to live individually. The tone of the story is dominated by sorrowfulness, painfulness, loneliness, and how frightened being isolated that experienced by Duffy. The story try to picture how dreadful when the human avoid to be social being through Duffy’s life experience. I have two reasons why being isolated is dreadful that will be discussed in the next paragraphs.
