Literature is able to play the role as a communication
tool in conveying the rules about moral values to the readers whether for
children, teenagers, or adults. An analysis of moralist literature is not
only focus on one genre of literature but also it has an absolutely
characteristic. A moralist literature can be implemented to the short story,
novel, poetry, and folklore. In this occasion, the writer tries to conduct a
moral analysis based on the marital poetry in Madurese culture entitled “Meggha’ Bhalabhar (Mokka’ Labang Petto’)” cutting the barrier
and opening the seven doors. Related to this poetry, there are seven things
that must be done in Madurese culture concept in conducting or getting married.
Those are called as a moral value which is covered in marital poetry. The
result of analyzing is that Madurese uses color to give implicit value in life whether
good or not like black, red, blue, purple, yellow, pink, and white. Those
colors indicate the moral value of the poetry. Color used by people around the world to share their sense
of eyesight of a thing precisely. Each color has a different interpretation from
another. Palmer cited the relationship between language and the non-linguistics
world of experience, and sense, which deals with relation in language.
