2.2 Theoretical Framework
The writer uses the theories which have been explained in the previous part. There are six theories which have been explained, those are the theory of
characters, methods of characterization, theory of personality, psychological approach, theory of love, theory of motivation and theory of katresnanism.
Firstly, the writer uses the theory of character which helps the writer that Queen Attolia is the main character of Megan. The writer also applies theory of
personality and methods of characterization in order to answer the first problem formulation. By knowing Queen Attolia’s personality through using those three
theories, it will be easier for the writer to find out how Queen Attolia is described. Secondly, the writer uses psychological approach to know the meaning of
Queen Attolia’s love from her process in having ego, id, and superego. Theory of motivation helps the writer to find out what Queen Attolia’s motivation is in her
love experience. Moreover, Theory of love and theory of katresnanism are also useful for analysing the second problem formulations, in which the writer thinks
that the conditions which has happened to Queen Attolia and what she has done influences her most.
