Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis novel Lord Jim karya Joseph Conrad melalui pendekatan teori Orientalism yang dikembangkan oleh Edward Said, dengan fokus pada bagaimana narasi novel membingkai Timur sebagai entitas pasif yang tunduk pada otoritas moral Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis teks sastra, serta menekankan pada strategi naratif dan representasi ideologis dalam struktur cerita. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Lord Jim sering dibaca sebagai eksplorasi psikologis tokoh Barat, novel ini secara sistematis menghilangkan suara tokoh-tokoh Timur dan menjadikan masyarakat lokal sekadar latar eksotik bagi krisis moral protagonis. Representasi tersebut memperkuat mitos "white savior" dan menggambarkan bahwa hanya Barat yang mampu membawa peradaban dan keadilan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa Lord Jim tidak hanya merefleksikan wacana kolonial, tetapi juga secara aktif mereproduksi struktur orientalis yang meneguhkan dominasi Barat atas Timur.
