Abstract

Folktales are stories deliberately written to educate young generation of a nation to be appropriate individual. Having such an important role, not all folktales are entirely suitable to carry that mission today. Many folktales still contain teachings that promote gender, race or age bias, murder, illogical taboo, unfair punishment, arrogance of authority, belittling subordinates, and even teachings that promote revenge. These are inappropriate materials to be used as education tools for youngsters. A folktale reconstruction is necessary for such kind of folktales. An Indonesian folktale titled Goa Mampu, and its reconstruction version, are discussed in this paper. Both versions of folktales are closely analyzed on the values and teachings they offer to transmit to the young generation of Indonesia, especially on the issue power dominant by the authority. The theme of power dominance, arrogance of authority figure, and how they impact the young generation that is central in both folktales is evaluated. It is proven that the reconstruction version of the tale is a healthier version to educate younger generation on a more humble and serving authority figure.
