wanted from others without concern for their feelings. This type constitutes the largest percentage of all rapists. Whether spolit brat or a person living on the edge,
the personality type is similar. They want something and they don’t care whom they hurt to get it.
2.3 Literature and Psychology
Literature refers to compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, and expresses emotions, an analysis, and advocate ideas Edgar V. Roberts Henry
E. Jacobs, 1995 Psychology are defined as the study of mind Henry L.Roediger III and friends, 1987. Mind deals with person. Person is character. Literature
studies about character also. Both psychology and literature have human being as their object. They
study about human behavior or character and human development. Psychology and literature have a close relationship because literature consists of the
psychology of the character who conducts a story while everything that relates to the characters such as attitude or behavior and morality are part of psychology.
Therefore, with the contrary, psychology of the character are conveyed or written down on a story by the writer.
2.4 Character in literature
A character is the representation of a person in a narrative or dramatic
work of art such as a novel, play, or film.

In his book Aspects of the novel, E. M. Forster defined two basic types of characters, their qualities, functions, and importance for the development of the
novel: flat characters and round characters. Flat characters are two-dimensional in
that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work. By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo development,
sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader.
A hero or heroin, often called the protagonist, is the central character who engages the reader’s interest and empathy. The antagonist is the character, force,
or collection of forces that stands directly opposed to the protagonist and gives rise to the conflict of the story. A static character does not change throughout the
work, and the reader’s knowledge of that character does not grow, whereas a dynamic character undergoes some kind of change because of the action in the
plot.
A flat character embodies one or two qualities, ideas, or traits that can be readily described in a brief summary. They are not psychologically complex
characters and therefore are readily accessible to readers. Some flat characters are recognized as stock characters; they embody stereotypes such as the dumb
blonde or the mean stepfather. They become types rather than individuals. Round characters are more complex than flat or stock characters, and often
display the inconsistencies and internal conflicts found in most real people. They
are more fully developed, and therefore are harder to summarize.
