This thesis is a study of Melville's liardi through
the analysis on Taji's search for happiness through
place settings. The writer intends to show how Taji
searches for happiness through place settings and what
kind of happiness he is searching for. In order to
achieve her purpose, the writer uses literary approach,
in this case, she uses two devices namely setting and
character. In searching for happiness, Taji moves from
one place to the other places. The first search is done
in the old Arcturion, however the condition on that ship
makes him feel dissatisfied. Therefore, he moves to
Parki, Yet, the condition on the ship also makes him
fail to find satisfaction. Then, he comes to the canoe
and he finds Yillah there who gives him inner happiness,
Un f o r tun a te1y, w hen he visits 0do, he 1oses Yillah,
After a vain search for Yillah in Odo, he moves to
Vivenza where he thinks he can find happiness there, In
spite of finding happiness, he faces slavery which shows
it is impossible to find happiness in Yivenza. At last,
he comes to a perfect place, Serenia, The condition in
Serenia promises happiness because people in Serenia
live in happiness,, However, Taji still does not find
his happiness in Serenia, It means that happiness which
can be given by Serenians is not the happiness that Taji
wants to possess. In other words, Taji's happiness is
the happiness which is given by Yillah only. The happi
ness which can satisfy his inner self and find his
meaning of life. He does not feel happy before he finds
Yillah. That is why, the fact shows that he still does
search in the open sea.
