【 摘 要 】

Serat Jayengbaya constituted the first work written by R. Ng. Ranggawarsita around the year 1830. Serat Jayengbaya is a narrative text written in macapat Asmaradana poetic meters. It tells the story of Jayengbaya, who was daydreaming of taking on 47 different choices in life. This research tries to study the narrative structure of the text in order to determine the textual theme of Serat Jayengbaya, which is then supplemented by the concept of introspection taught by Ki Ageng Suryomentaram. This research applies the structural theory written by Burhan Nurgiyantoro in his book Teori Pengkajian Fiksi (2015), with analytical descriptive method. Through the analysis of narrative structure, it was found that the theme of Serat Jayengbaya is a journey to discover one's self-identity. The theme was conveyed through narrative elements that build a cohered narrative text system.
