Description: This book described the interactions occurred between the texts and the readers who place Gogoda ka nu Ngarora (GN) or 'Temptations for the Youth' as an advanced work which also serves as a form of response to Baruang ka nu Ngarora (BN) or 'Poison for the Youth' novel. Besides, the research also aims at discovering the functions of GN toward BN.
The research employs Iser's Aesthetic Response theory. It focuses its interest on how literary works bring effects on its readers, which result in a response. Repertoire, strategy, and realization become important parts of this theory. These parts are useful to explain the process of response within.
By using the primary theory of Aesthetic response from Wolfgang Iser, the research concludes that: (1) BN is a repertoire for the creation of GN, (2) Social classes as seen in BN are considered as means of affirming the norms of grandeur character of the aristocracy, (3) social classes found in BN are negated and reevaluated by GN from feudal into democratic spirit, (4) the idealization of GN lies on the statement that grandeur and disgraceful character may belong to any social classes, (5) the discrepancy and blankness of GN are shown through the characters' identity and the socio-historical background, and (6) GN in its relation with BN is having function as a balancing work for a number of social classes problems.
