interpersonal communication itself p. 21. Those principles are ; 1 Interpersonal communication connect use to others, 2 Interpersonal

7. Theory of Interpersonal Relationship
Interpersonal relationship happens because the interpersonal communication that occurs become more dependent with one another. According to Steven
Beebe, Susan Beebe and Mark Redmond 2009 relationship itself is a connection which established when someone communicate with another person
p. 252. Beebes and Redmond stated that interpersonal relationship is a perception shared by two people of an ongoing interdependent connection that
results in the development of relational expectations and varies in interpersonal intimacy. Beebes and Redmond explain further about the elements of
interpersonal relationship. There are four elements of interpersonal relationship pp. 252-253, those are;
24
a. Shared Perception Both individuals must share a perception that they have an ongoing
relationship. Generally, the greater the similarity in perceptions of the relationship, the stronger the relationship.
b. Ongoing Interdependent Connection An ongoing interdependent connection, means that the interpersonal
relationship is a system and a process. Interdependence occurs because each partner relies on the other to meet the needs. As a system, an interpersonal
relationship is transactional; that is both partners affect each other simultaneously. As a result, a change in one partner has a direct impact on
the relationship and on the other partner. As a process, a relationship is dynamic, constantly changing, and evolving.
c. Relational Expectations Any time a person interact with someone, they will bring a set of
performed expectation based on your socialization and experiences; but as someone develop an international relationship, a person and their partner
establish expectations specific to that relationship. These expectations are part of the relationship process and are continually developing and changing.

d. Interpersonal Intimacy Interpersonal intimacy is the degree to which relational partners
mutually confirm and accept each other’s sense of self. The closer the relationship, the more someone depend on a partner to accept and confirm
their own sense of self; and the other hand their partner does the same.
8. Theory of Meaning
Meaning has two different parts, surface meaning and deeper meaning. Holman and Harmon 1972 elaborate that surface or denotation meaning is the
exact meaning of a word, independent of its emotional coloration or association, without embellishment p.108. Then, deeper or connotation meaning is the
emotional implications that words may carry. Deeper meaning may be private and personal. It shows the result of individual experiences p.133.
B. Theoretical Framework
The researcher implements several theories to support the two formulated problems mentioned in Chapter I. To solve the formulated problems, the researcher
has to find several theories to conduct the study. Even though each problem has main strong theories, other theory which not strongly mentioned also included to make the
basic mind of the problems. The other theories also support the to answer the problem PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

formulation which will make the statement stronger. Those theories are theory of character and characterization, psychology approach, personality theory, theory of
conflict, theory of motivation, theory of relationship, and the last important theory is. To answer the first problem formulation, the researcher uses theory of character and
charactrization from Barnet 2010 and Murphy 1972. these theories are used to analyzed what kind of personality the characters have, so that the researcher will find
the motives behind their reactions of events. Then to solve the second problem formulations the researcher uses interpersonal relationship theory also from Beebes
and Redmond 2009. This theory will help the researcher to reveal the reaction behind their conflicts - the meaning why the conflicts occur.
