This type of research is literary research using a qualitative approach and descriptive method. In this analysis, the novel The Star and I by Ilana Tan is chosen as the object of research because this novel describes a complex and pluralistic life that can reflect a cosmopolitan identity. The results of this study show how the concept of cosmopolitan identity is represented by the characters in the novel and how these characters interact with their environment. The results also show that cosmopolitan identity in the novel can be understood through characters who are able to navigate cultural differences and build relationships with people from different backgrounds. Cosmopolitan identity is also reflected in the way the characters articulate their thoughts, feelings and behaviors about identity and nationality.
