The Devoted Friend
by : Oscar Wilde
10. EMOSI DAN HUMOR
1. Cinta
Emosi cinta ini ada di cerita kedua dalam novel The Devoted Friend dimana tokoh Hans sangat mencintai Miller yang dianggap sebagai sahabat terbaiknya, apapun yang Miller minnta Hans akan berikan bahkan jika itu membahayakan dirinya sendiri seperti yang terjadi di akhhir cerita.
" Dear little Hans, cried the Miller , iam a great trouble. my little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and i am going for the doctor. but he lives so far away, and it is such a bad night, that it has just occured to me that it would be much better if you went instead of me. you know i am going to give you my wheelbarrow, and so it is only fair that you should do something for me in return.
Certainly, cried little Hans, i take it quite as a compliment your coming to me and i will stat off at once, but you must lend me your lantern, as the night is so dark that i am afraid i might fall into the ditch.
"Iam verry sorry, answered the Miller, but it is my new lantern, and it would be a great loss to me if anything happenend to it.
" Well, never mind, i will do without it, cried little Hans, and he took down his great fur coat and his warm scarlet cap, and tied a muffler round his throat and started off.
"What a dreadful storm it was ! the night so black that little Hans could hardly see, and the wind was so strong that he could scarcely stand. However he was very courageous and after he had been walking about three hours.
2. Takut
Takut juga merupakan emosi yang ada di dalam cerita kedua dalam cerpen The Devoted Friend, dimana ketakutan ini juga dialami oleh Hans, bukan karena dia mengalami suatu tekanan yang membuatnya harus bungkam. Tapi rasa takut yang dialami oleh Hans disini adalah takut kehilangan sahabatnya, dimana ketika Miller kecewa dan menganggap bahwa Hans tidak mau melakukan apapun terhadapnya Hans akan kehilangan sahabat terbaiknya padahal seorang sahabat terbaik tentu justru tidak akan pernah meninggalkan sahabatnya hanya karena masalah kecil apalagi yang hanya memikirkan dirinya sendiri tanpa memikirkan perasaannya sahabatnya.
" Dear little Hans, said the Miller " would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market"
"Oh i am so sorry, said Hans but i am really very busy today. i have got all my creepers to nail up, and all my flowers to water and all my grass to roll.
" well really, said the Miller. " i think that considering that i am going to give you my wheelbarrow, it is rather unfriendly of you to refuse.
" oh don't say that, cried little Hans, " i wouldn"t be unfriendly for the whole world and he ran in for his cap, and trudged off with the big sack on his shoulders.
3. Marah
Adalah emosi ketiga yang ada di dalam Cerpen The Devoted Friend bagian pertama atau cerita pertama, dimana marah ini di perlihatkan oleh Tikus air yang dia fikir bahwa cerita yang di gambarkan oleh Linner atau burung itu merupakan sindiran keras yang bukan menasehatinya dengan sangat bijak, justru dia menganggap bahwa ucapan Linnet sangat membuat hatinya sakit dan malah meninggalkan percakapan begitu saja.
" But what became of the Miller? asked the water-rat
" Oh ! i really don't know ," replied the Linnet , and i am sure that i don't care"
" it is quite evident then that you have no sympathy in your nature, " said the Water-rat
" i am afraid you don't quite see the moral of the story, " reamarked the Linnet
" The what ?" screamed the Water-rat
" The moral"
" Do you mean to say that the story has a moral ?"
" Certainly , " said the Linnet
" Well, really, " said the Water-Rat , in a very angry manner, " i think you should have told me that before you began. if you had done so, i certainly would not have listened to you. in fact, i should have said " pooh" like the critic. However, i can say it now, so he shouted out " pooh" at the top of his voice, gave a whisk with his tail, and went back into his hole.
4. Gembira
Adalah emosi yang di keluarkan oleh tokoh Miller di dalam cerita kedua, dimana setelah Hans meninggal dia malah merasakan kebahagiaan itu karena dia fikir tidak akan ada lagi yang akan memintanya papan kayu itu yang mungkin jika kita fikir bahwa pengorbanan yang dikeluarkan oleh Hans jauh lebih banyak dan lebih penting dari papan miliknya.
" Little Hans is certainly a great loss to every one, said the Blacksmith , when the funeral was over , and they were all seated comfortably in the inn, drinking spiced wine and eating sweet cakes.
" A great loos to me at any rate, answered the Miller, " why i had as good as given him my wheelbarrow, and now i really don't know what to do with it. it is very much in my way at home and it is in such bad repair that i could not get anything for it if i sold it. i will certainly take care not to give away anything again. one always suffers for being generous. "
5. Sedih
Adalah perasaan emosi yang juga di timbulkan oleh sosok Hans di dalam cerita kedua, dimana lagi-lagi Hans disini hanya seorang korban yang ditipu atas nama persahabatan. dimana keseluruhan cerita mejelaskan bahwa sosok Hans ini adalah orang yang selalu membantu Miller namun tentu dia juga pernah sedih karena suatu masa dimana sosok sahabat yang diinginkannya datang untuk membantunya di musim dingin tidak ada, hingga membuat Hans kelaparan bahkan sudah banyak menjual barang berharganya ke pasar hanya untuk bisa makan. Juga situasi yang terjadi ketika Hans meninggal dan semua orang yang mengetahui kejadian itu di desa itu merasa sangat kehilangan Hans kecil karena mereka tau bahwa Hans adalah sosok yang sangat baik.
The neightbours thought it strange that the rich Miller neve gave little Hans anything in return, though he had a hundred sacks of flour stored away in his mill, and six milch cows and a large flock of woolly sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these things, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things the Miller used to say about the unselfishness of true friendship.
" So little Hans worked away in his garden, during the spring, the summer, and the autumn he was verry happy, but when the winter came, and he had no fruit or floweer to bring to the market, he suffered a good deal from cold and hunger, ad often had to go to bed without any supper. but a few dried pears or some hard nuts. in the winter, also he was extremely lonely, as the Miller never came to see him then.
6. Jengkel
Jengkel adalah Emosi yang ditimbulkan oleh Linnet pada cerita yang pertama, dimana Linnet merasa bahwa pendapat yang dikemukakakan oleh Tikus Air sangat bertentangan dengan opininya. Karena persahabatan sejati bukan hanya tentang pemberian yang di berikan orang lain terhadap kita namun juga respon yang kita berikan terhadap mereka.
" Ah i know nothing about the feelings of parents, said the Water-rat " i am not a family man, in fact i have never been married, and i never intend to be, love is all very well in its way , but friendship is much higher. indeed i know of nothing in the world that is either nobler or rareer thn a devoted friendship.
" and what pray, is your idea of the duties of the devoted friend: asked a Green Linnet, who was sitting in a willow-tree hard by, and head overheard the conversation.
" yes, that is just what i want to know." said the duck, and she swam away to the end of the pond, and stood upon her head, in order to give her children a good example
" What a silly question !" cried the Water-rat. " I should expect my devoted friend to be devoted to me, of course"
" And what would you do in return." said the little bird, swinging upon a silver spray, and flapping his tiny wings
" I don't understand you " answered the Water-rat
" Let me tell you a story on the subject." said the Linnet
" Is the story about me?" asked the Water-rat. " if so i will listen to it, for i am extremely found of fiction."
" it is applicable to you." answered the Linnet
