Abstract

Until now, the analysis of the point of view in the intrinsic elements of literary works is still dominated by the analysis of the first and third-person perspectives. However, in the development of narrative text theory analysis, it is seen that there are changes in the division of types of viewpoints. In Bal's narratology theory, the point of view is called focalization, while those who see it from the point of view are called focalizers. Therefore, how the type of focalizer in the novel, especially in novel Telegram is the problem of this research. The purpose of this study was to identify the type of focalizer used in the novel. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data collection techniques used were reading techniques and note-taking techniques. The data analysis techniques in this study include data identification, data classification, data analysis, and concluding the results of data analysis. The results showed that the type of vocalizer used was an internal focalisator. The use of an internal focalizer shows that the author of the novel is telling the story from a first-person perspective and that the author does not appear in the story.
