| Love is one of the concepts that writers pay attention to when creating their works. It can be addressed from diverse theories and perspectives. Robert Sternberg’s psychological theory, i.e., a triangular theory of love - intimacy, commitment, and passion, is the romantic relationship that creates the stability or lack of love. Sternberg believes that this triangle influences every person, depending on their gender, culture, and society. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the current research aims to analyze the discourse of Habibati Bakma, a novel by Muhammad Badr al-Salim, based on Sternberg’s theory. The study’s findings indicate that in various situations, the emotional relationship and sense of empathy of the novel’s main characters, Hatan and Hanin, which are shaped by intimacy in a romantic love, are characterized by a bold structure, leading their loyalty and commitment to reach their peak. This reveals that self-sacrifice has a crucial role in attaining such love. In some cases, to bring the lovers closer and convey their feelings and emotions, they use words that indicate passion and lust. Hence, Sternberg’s triangle of love leads to self-belief, acceptance, and finally, ideal love and marriage. |
