Abstract :

Helen in Homer’s “Iliad” and Anna in Anna Karenina are two literature heroines with many similarities in their characterizations and experiences. Both are famous as the heroines who meet miseries as the result of their adulterous affair. Yet, they also have differences since both literary works came from two distinctive socio cultural setting. Helen in Homer’s “Iliad” lives in the setting of Greece ancient Imperials and divine kinship that obliged the Olympian Gods and Goddesses, while Anna lives in the modern Russian Imperial society setting under the strong patriarchal tradition. This study aims to discover the red string which connects Homer’s “Iliad” and Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina through Intertextuality. Intertextuality is used as the approach, method, and theory of this study to reveal that there is an Intertextual connection between Homer’s “Iliad” and of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Thus, it leads the author to examine the character, plot, and setting related to Helen in Homer’s “Iliad” and Anna in Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Comparison of the similarities and differences between the heroines’ characterizations and plot of the stories is observed to find out that there is a connection of hypogram and transformation between Homer’s “Iliad” and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Furthermore, the setting helps to discover that the heroines’ downfalls are produced by the society tradition as the socio cultural background in executing the sinners of the society.
