6 is to analyze the personality of the main character easier. Floyd 1950 also
states that psychology is focusing on studying the behavior of man in his environment.
Freud 1958 defines that psychoanalysis is one mixture of cognition, emotion, conscious awareness and unconscious process, rational self-directed
behavior and instict-driven action. This term used to analyze the relation of emotion can affect to the relationship of the main character. Barry 2002 also
states that psychoanalysis used to find the evidence of unresolved emotions, psychological conflicts and ambivalences.
2. Character
Abrams 2005 states that characters are the people or a person in dramatic or narrative work, that interpreted by the reader as carrying such a moral,
intellectual and also dispositional qualities that expressed in what they say like in the dialogue or in the act.
According to Abrams 1985, p. 20, there are two kinds of the character, the first one is the major character and the other is minor character. Major
characters always appear in the whole story while the minor characters are less important than the major characters because they are not fully developed and they
just support the major character. In addition, Forster 1974 states that there are two categories in the
character. There are flat character and round character. A flat character build from one perspective or one idea and it is not described in detail. While round character
7 has more complicated act and brings emotional feeling in the scene, like sorrow or
humor, so the audience will remember that character from the first story until the end of the story.
3. Characterization
Abrams 2005: 56 states that characters are the people or a person in dramatic or narrative work that interpreted by the readers. In characterization,
there are two options to gain the information about the character. The first one is explicit characterization. It means that the author tells the character just like
who the character is. The second one is implicit characterization, the meaning is the reader must infer how the character is.
In addition, Murphy 1972 adds nine ways in order to make the characters more understandable and more alive for the readers.
a. Personal Description
The author describes the character from the personal appearance in the body such as clothes, color of the skin, face and eyes.
b. Character as Seen by Another
The author describes the character using the other opinion to get the reflected image of the character.
c. Speech
The author gives the reader an insight into the character through what person says. Whenever the person gives conversation or an opinion, the
person will give clues about the character to the readers.
