Abstract

The character of Markesot from the text Markesot Bertutur can be understood as a representation of Indonesians’ character. It particularly represented Indonesian youths’ peaceful state of mind. This study was a hermeneutic study using Gadamer’s framework. It aimed to interpret the text of Markesot Bertutur in order to construe an understanding about Indonesian youths’ peaceful state of mind according to it. This study analyzed the text in three stages: understanding whole; understanding part; and understanding the underlying meaning. The findings indicated that there were three patterns of striving for Indonesian youths’ peaceful state of mind: if I have an idealism, I will be more humble to my idealism; if I agree with the opinion of others, I will control myself to impose my will so that others also follow my agreement; and if I disagree with others, I will bring tolerance to the differences.
