CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher discusses some important points related to
the area of the research. Those are background of the study, statement of
problems, objectives of the study, scope and limitation, significances of the study,
and definition of the key terms.
1.1 Background of the Study
Literature is a part of art which shows the values of factual and
imaginative beauty. It gives consolidation and spiritual satisfaction to its
reader. Hardjana (in Hartiningsih, 2001) states that literature has standard of
expression from what the people have shown in life, have experienced about
life which interest in their experience directly and forcefully. However,
literature cannot affect others unless it is read, heard, and shared.
In general, there are two genres of literature. In genresofliterature.com
(2011), they are fiction (drama, poetry, fantasy, humor, fable, fairytales,
science fiction, short story, realistic fiction, folk lork, historical fiction, horror,
tall tale, legend, mystery, mythology) and non fiction (essay, biography,
autobiography). One kind of literary works that is categorized in drama genre
is film. Furthermore, Roberts in his article From Literature to Film says that
relationship developed between literature and film when film producers and
film directors sought jump-start or sustained inspiration from literary works,
and when creative writers began to add to their influence the visual and mobile
present-tense sensitivity of the cinematic camera.
1
2
In addition, Roberts explains that film is a device to represent a literary
work which developed with cinematography, sound, editing, mise-en-scene
(that include the setting, costume, lighting, actor etc.) and all of these elements
provided to make play-goers feel like they play in, make it more interested and
touch their heart. A film that tells a story is called a narrative film. Since most
of the narrative films are fictitious, so it has intrinsic and extrinsic elements
that can be the object of research, such as the character and characterization on
the film, the genre of film, a play-goers, etc.
Many film producers and film directors used the popularity of novels,
stories, or plays by certain writers to guarantee the success of the film. And it
often worked because of the artistic merit of the cinematic professionals
involved. This applies to films like Lolita based on Nabakov’s novel;
Breakfast At Tiffany’s, based on Truman Capote’s novel; The Servant based
on Robin Maughm’s novella; Saturdaday Night And Sunday Morning based
on Alan Sillitoe’s novel; A Raising in The Sun based on Lorraine Hansberry’s
play; Eclipse based on Stephenie Meyer's novel, Eclipse, and many more
outstanding films based on outstanding literature.
In this study Eclipse on Stephenie Meyer’s film is chosen. Eclipse is the
third installment of Stephenie Meyer’s popular vampire series. The researcher
chose Eclipse film because she is interested to the story of love between
vampire and human, how complicated is their relation and also some problems
that they face. She focused in analyzing Victoria’s revenge to her boyfriend’s
death. As a human being, it will be hard for us if someone that close to us died
especially a person that we really love. Some people can’t take it sincerely.
3
Sometimes, they will blame their selves or even blame someone else that they
thought as a cause of the death. But as the time passed by, we will accept it as
a destiny from God and we won’t kill someone that we blamed. In the other
hand, she found an interesting story from Eclipse film that shows about
Victoria’s revenge. Here, she wants to kill Bella because Edward (Bella’s
lover) killed Victoria’s boyfriend (James). The researcher is interested to a
female vampire which could kill someone else in order to revenge. This story
of revenge is a rarely or even never happen in a true live. That was the reason
why the researcher analyzed the Victoria’s revenge to her boyfriend’s death in
Eclipse film.

2. How does Victoria’s revenge to her boy friend’s death in Stephenie

3. What is the effects Victoria’s revenge to her boy friend’s death for herself
in Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse film?

Meyer’s Eclipse film.
4
2. To explain Victoria’s revenge to her boy friend’s death in Stephenie
Meyer’s Eclipse film.
3. To dig out effects Victoria’s revenge to her boy friend’s death in Stephenie
Meyer’s Eclipse film.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher discusses some important points related to
the area of the research. Those are background of the study, statement of
problems, objectives of the study, scope and limitation, significances of the study,
and definition of the key terms.
1.1 Background of the Study
Literature is a part of art which shows the values of factual and
imaginative beauty. It gives consolidation and spiritual satisfaction to its
reader. Hardjana (in Hartiningsih, 2001) states that literature has standard of
expression from what the people have shown in life, have experienced about
life which interest in their experience directly and forcefully. However,
literature cannot affect others unless it is read, heard, and shared.
In general, there are two genres of literature. In genresofliterature.com
(2011), they are fiction (drama, poetry, fantasy, humor, fable, fairytales,
science fiction, short story, realistic fiction, folk lork, historical fiction, horror,
tall tale, legend, mystery, mythology) and non fiction (essay, biography,
autobiography). One kind of literary works that is categorized in drama genre
is film. Furthermore, Roberts in his article From Literature to Film says that
relationship developed between literature and film when film producers and
film directors sought jump-start or sustained inspiration from literary works,
and when creative writers began to add to their influence the visual and mobile
present-tense sensitivity of the cinematic camera.

In addition, Roberts explains that film is a device to represent a literary
work which developed with cinematography, sound, editing, mise-en-scene
(that include the setting, costume, lighting, actor etc.) and all of these elements
provided to make play-goers feel like they play in, make it more interested and
touch their heart. A film that tells a story is called a narrative film. Since most
of the narrative films are fictitious, so it has intrinsic and extrinsic elements
that can be the object of research, such as the character and characterization on
the film, the genre of film, a play-goers, etc.
Many film producers and film directors used the popularity of novels,
stories, or plays by certain writers to guarantee the success of the film. And it
often worked because of the artistic merit of the cinematic professionals
involved. This applies to films like Lolita based on Nabakov’s novel;
Breakfast At Tiffany’s, based on Truman Capote’s novel; The Servant based
on Robin Maughm’s novella; Saturdaday Night And Sunday Morning based
on Alan Sillitoe’s novel; A Raising in The Sun based on Lorraine Hansberry’s
play; Eclipse based on Stephenie Meyer's novel, Eclipse, and many more
outstanding films based on outstanding literature.
In this study Eclipse on Stephenie Meyer’s film is chosen. Eclipse is the

Sometimes, they will blame their selves or even blame someone else that they
thought as a cause of the death. But as the time passed by, we will accept it as
a destiny from God and we won’t kill someone that we blamed. In the other
hand, she found an interesting story from Eclipse film that shows about
Victoria’s revenge. Here, she wants to kill Bella because Edward (Bella’s
lover) killed Victoria’s boyfriend (James). The researcher is interested to a
female vampire which could kill someone else in order to revenge. This story
