23 one need is satisfied, then another emerges. Maslow states that such statement
give the false impression that a need must be satisfied 100 percent before the next emerges. 1987, p. 27
This theory is associated with human motivation. One of the exception states that hierarchy of prepotency in terms of consciously felt wants or desires
rather than behavior. In this exception, Maslow states that there are many determinants of behavior other than the needs and desires. 1987, p. 27 Though
Maslow states it so, needs and desires still become the determiner factors of behavior. In association with motivation, the act to initiate and direct behavior is
the concept to describe motivation. In this term, the emergence of needs or desires directs one’s behavior to fulfill the needs of that person. In simpler way, it can be
said that the desire of someone to fulfill the need will be the reason why someone is motivated to behave in particular way.
B. Theoretical Framework
In this section, writer mentions the theories that are used in this study and its contribution in solving the problem of this study. The writer has given a bit
description of the contribution of the theories in chapter one. The first theory is theory of characterization. Theory of characterization is applied to answer the first
problem formulation of this study. The methods that are used by the author are analyzed in this step. There are nine methods of characterization that can be used
by an author to give a description or to tell the personalities of a character in a story. Each method will give a contribution in analyzing the character of a person
in the story.
24 The next theories are character and the hierarchy of human needs. These
theories are applied to answer the second problem formulation in this study. The first theory, in this step, is theory of character. In this step, this theory is used to
analyze the character development. Character development needs to be analyzed because, in this study, character development could show the existence of a
motivation. The second theory in this step is the hierarchy of human needs. This theory states five levels of human needs. In this study, the analysis is focused on
the Lynette ’s motivation to fulfill her needs. The needs are categorized into the
five levels based on the hierarchy of human needs.
