Olive often underestimates others because he considers his friends and the other people as his enemies. He shows his dislike by speaking unpleasantly. He thinks
that his opinion and his work are better than others.
b. Reckless
Murphy‟s theory of characterization 1972 stated that reactions of a person can portray the character p. 168. Olive is a reckless person. He enters
Enishte‟s house without being invited. He shows his action obviously “I entered through unlocked door beside the stable, an as uninvited guest, might do to avoid
happening upon an inappropriate scene, I stamped my feet and coughed as I climbed the wooden staircase to the living quarters.” 155.
Murphy‟s theory explained that person‟s character is seen through the way the character speaks p. 164
. In this case, Olive‟s recklessness can be seen by his speech. Olive says “I‟m not afraid of possessing character and individuality, nor
do I fear others bowing down and worshiping me; on the contrary, this is what I desire
.” 398. Olive says that he is not afraid of having character and individuality in painting. His statement comes out from his mouth in order to
defend his opinion because he has been caught that he has stolen the last picture and has killed Elegant and Enishte Effendi. Elegant has the opinion that having
own character and individuality is a sin but Olive still wants to have it due to his interest in Venetian painting and his desire to attain their expertise.
Alfred Adler, an individual psychologist, has a concept that each person has the freedom to create their own style of live and they are free to behave which
is called creative power as cited in Jess Gregory, 2009, p . 79. Alfred‟s theory

of creative power deals with Olive‟s recklessness. Olive‟s recklessness is created
by creative power which leads him to choose his own style of painting and to gain his goal. He is also responsible with his decision. As a result, he does not afraid of
having character and individuality in his painting. He also will do something without caring about the risk.
