Moral Identity In The Text Babad Diponegoro

Prince Diponegoro is a monumental figure. He who was first appointed as a national hero by the Indonesian government, his name also became the name of a university, namely Universitas Diponegoro, in Semarang. KODAM (Military District Comand) in Central Java also uses his name, called Kodam VII Diponegoro. Almost every city in Indonesia has the name Diponegoro street. In the field of literature, Prince Diponegoro was the author of the first autobiography with his work entitled Babad Diponegoro. There is a relationship between the concept of role and self-concept. The Babad Diponegoro was examined with the expression of identity between Diponegoro's role and self as an exile as well as a Javanese prince who was the furthest from his community. In this case, the expression of identity, cultural values that are resistant in the work of Babad Diponegoro and influential elements in the comunity in Manado will be studied. The principal value to be assessed is about the moral values contained in the chronicle as inherent identities. This value is tangled in the text of the Babad Diponegoro expressed in the form of macapat. The element of moral identity is reflected in the composition of language, diction, narration, and point of view. Moral identity is related to the concept of role, namely the role of Prince Diponegoro in relations with his community and self, namely the identity of Prince Diponegoro as a person who has his own history as a leader and prince of an empire.
