Abstract

This study is, to a large extent, influenced by the Marxist doctrine on the relationship between literature and society. It has been assumed by the marxist literary theorists that literature as the upper level of society is determined by the lower level namely the economic. Meanwhile, it is also suggested that literature is a part of social-realism suggesting that literary writer must describe the reality within society and then make socialistic propaganda. This study, by concentrating on this contadictory statementnconcerning literature, sees that arcadia theory may be applicable in order to explain the relationship beetween literature and society. The theory assumes that a writer of a certain class, aristocracy for instance, must adapt his way of struggling against a certain condition to his own social background. In this way, it has been found that Amir Hamzah who was of the aristocratic family must fight against his own society by the use of 'hidden' propaganda rather than a straight forward or bottom-up approach.
