This study discusses the theme of poverty in two selected novels, namely the novel Bidayah wa Nihayah (BWN) written by Najīb Mahfūz, winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1988 from Egypt, and the novel Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan (RSJ) by National Literary Author Shahnon Ahmad. This study will touch on the theme of poverty by using thematic comparative theory. A qualitative research design was chosen to answer the research questions through the textual study method of thematic comparative analysis and literature review. The results of the research show that there are some similarities about the theme of poverty between the two novels, among which the most significant is the interweaving of the story plot that begins with death (BWN) and dysentery (RSJ) to the heads of both families. The closure of the plot also ends tragically with suicide (BWN) and incurable madness (RSJ).
