Abstract

The research is proposed to analyze the tension between individual freedom and national security in a novel with the title Digital Fortress with Sociological Approach. There are two objectives: the first is to analyze the novel in term of structural elements, and the second is to analyze the novel based on Sociological Approach. This study is a descriptive qualitative study, using the novel of Dan Brown’s Digital Fortress as the object of analysis. There are two kinds of data sources used in the analysis, namely primary and secondary data sources. The primary data are the novel itself and the secondary data sources are books, internet and articles related to the subject. The technique of data collection in this research is library research by summarizing, paraphrasing and documenting the data. In analyzing the data, the writer employs descriptive qualitative analysis. In this study, the writer draws two conclusions as follows. First, based on the structural analysis, it is evident that in Digital Fortress, Dan Brown wants to deliver a message that the development of virtual technology creates the tensions between individual freedom and national security.
