Abstract

Four innings drama “Kejahatan Membalas Dendam.” by Idrus has been widely reviewed by literary critics. The reviews have generated the meanings that have been conventionalized, especially in the aspects of characterization and theme. This research aims to uncover meanings behind meanings having been conventionalized or paradoxical meanings of aporia elements especially in characterization and theme of Idrus’ work. Theory used to reveal the paradoxical meanings is the theory of deconstruction while the methods are literature study, analytic -descriptive, and narrative presentation. The results showed that conventionalized character described as traitor of the State actually is a great hero. He sincerely sacrificed his body and soul to meet the ideals of independence. The central theme of the drama is not to sacrifice for the country and nation, but is to get rid of the traitor of the state.
