PELARIAN DIRI ALICE : HIPERREALITAS DALAM NOVEL ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND OLEH LEWIS CAROLL

Penelitian in bertujuan untuk menelusuri pelarian diri Alice pada konteks hiperrealitas dalam Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland oleh Lewis Caroll. Dengan menggunakan teori hiperrealitas dari Jean Baudrillard yang berfokus pada urutan gambaran simulakrum, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan bagaimana pelarian diri Alice pada konteks hipperealitas ter-refleksi di dalam novel. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif sebagai desain penelitian dalam menganalisis narasi dan dialog yang diklasifikasikan dengan teori Jean Baudrillard. Hasil penelitian ini adalah ada beberapa faktor yang menuntun Alice kepada pelarian diri yang menjadi peran penting sebagai model konseptual atau gambaran. Gambaran tersebut berubah tahap demi tahap yang kemudian berbelok kepada tingkat simulasi yang merepresentasikan masalah-masalah dan kebutuhan-kebutuhan Alice. Faktor-faktor tersebut sebagai simulasi yang menutupi simulakrum, menyerap gambaran, kemudian menghasilkan apa yang Alice sebut dengan Wonderland. Akan tetapi, dunia ini (Wonderland) berkembang menjadi sesuatu yang mengontrol Alice. Hal tersebut membuktikan bahwa Wonderland diciptakan oleh Alice untuk meniru cara Alice berfikir, membuat dan menentukan keputusan. Perkembangan Wonderland telah menunjukkan bagaimana hal tersebut berkembang menjadi sesuatu yang lebih dari sekedar alat namun sebuah ketergantungan dan simulakrum sebagai hasil dari kebutuhannya untuk melarikan diri dari realitas.
