Comparative study is the way to make comparison of two (possibly more) things. In  literature,  there  are  some  aspects  that  could be  compared  such  as  the  literary work  itself. This  study discusses about  two  literary works  from different  culture and different author. The first one is novel which title Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan by Agnes  Devauner  and  the  second  is  short  story  from  Eric-Emmanuel  Schmitt which  title Oscar and  the Lady  in Pink. The purpose of  this study  is  to compare about the intrinsic elements of both literary works and to compare about the main character  there.  The method which  is  used  to  this  study  is  qualitative  research because  of  the  data  collected  by  the  word  or  sentence  but  not  the  number.
