CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Literature is the art of written work. Literature is one of the creative means of communicating the emotional, spiritual, or intelectual concern of
mankind. Literature is an imaginative act, that is an act of the writer’s imagination in selecting and ordering life experience. Experience about
social life, nature, or anything else could be the ideas of the story.Generally, literature can be divided into novel, play, and poetry.
In this thesis, the focus of the analysis is novel. Novel is extended fictional prose narrative dealing with human characters and actions of a
period time. According to Reeve 1785:26 novel is a picture of real and manners and of the time in which it was written. Novel has complicated
intrigue that presents the changing of human character in a period of time, complex social situation, other action happened.
Commonly, novels set prevailing values of society against protagonist or anatgonist character who feel uncomfortable with these values. The
novelist is concerned to present his view about the society. Novels are often about the relationship between individuals and the society in which they live.
A story of the novel often tells about how the character explained in his or her social life, and it relates with where the story takes place.
In the real world human is people, but in the novel human called as a character. According to Robert 1993:20 character is the persons presented
in dramatics of narrative work, who are interpreted by reader as being endowed with the moral and dispositional qualities that are expressed in what
they say and what they do in action. From the statement above, It can be concluded that character is the way life of human being which issurrounded
by many problems such as conflict. Novel consists of theme, plot, setting, point of view, character, etc. If
a novel has all of those elements, there must be conflicts. All of those plot and character interconnected to create conflicts that build the story itself.
Conflict, as commonly known, is just a simple word. Since this research discusses about conflict, as commonly known, it
seems to be natural for human cannot escape from the conflict it self. It happens so since man cannot fulfill all he wishes completely. Where the
choices fail to satisfy the complete desire, the result will be conflict. So, conflict is a matter of choices which results sense of disappointment.
Marcus 2000:366 defines that conflict is incompatibility of ideas, beliefs, roles, needs, desires, values, and so on. While Sanderson 1991:505
defines conflict as an opposition of interest between and among various individuals and social groups, which may or may not be overtly observable,
and which may or may not break out into open dispute or physical violence. In this thesis, the analysis only focuses in the major characters’
conflict of Wendelin Van Draanen’s novel Flipped. This novel is about love and feeling that flip between two major characters. Those characters are Juli
Baker and Bryce Loski. In the beginning, Juli falls so deep for Bryce.
Naturally, being 7, Bryce has no interest to Juli. However, as the novel progresses, both children grow up and their emotions change drastically.
This novel is dominantly expressing conflicts experienced by the major characters. They are trapped to solve their conflicts. This is the
background as well as one reason why this topic is analyzed in this thesis considering both of the major characters as the reflected of human being
struggle hard of their own conflict with themselves and society around them.
