Abstract

Trilogy of Rara Mendut’s novels are focused on four things with a working method based on Michel Foucault's genealogical theory which examines past events that can be used to see the present. The results of the study include: 1) the parental care system for children shows that children must receive sufficient attention, affection, and wholehearted care for their mental development; 2) unlimited power has an impact on people's misery, many enemies, leading tends to be cruel, and brings destruction; 3) the nature of a person is influenced by environmental factors; and 4) the essence of serving in real life is not one's superiors or institutions but to the people, especially those who are still suffering.
