of creative power deals with Olive‟s recklessness. Olive‟s recklessness is created
by creative power which leads him to choose his own style of painting and to gain his goal. He is also responsible with his decision. As a result, he does not afraid of
having character and individuality in his painting. He also will do something without caring about the risk.
c. Enthusiastic
According to Murphy 1971, “the author can describe the character through the eyes and opinions of another” p. 162. Olive is an enthusiastic
miniaturist. It is seen by another character. Olive shows his enthusiasm to be great miniaturist since he was an apprentice. Master Osman explains that he ever visits
Olive‟s house then see how big his passion in painting. I once paid an announced visit to his home. Unlike my work area and that
of many other master miniaturists, his was a filthy confusion of paints, brushes, burnishing shells, his folding worktable and other objects. It was
a mystery to me, but he wasn‟t even embarrassed by it. He took no outside job to earn a few extra silver coins. After I related these facts, Black said it
was Olive who showed the most enthusiasm for and the most ease with the styles of the Frankish masters admired by his late Enishte. 257
After listening to Master Osman, Black concludes that Olive is an enthusiastic illuminator and interested in Frankish style because the enthusiastic person can be
easily influenced by the new object and agitation. Black sees that Olive has big passion in painting because his house is in a mess of painting tools. It makes sense
that he really loves painting and wants to be a great miniaturist. Murphy also has a concept that action can show the character‟s personality
by letting the readers know how that person reacts to various situations and events p. 168. Olive shows his enthusiasm through his action, the way he acts to

another. He is such an enthusiastic illuminator. He loves his job and enjoys what he
is working on art. He is enthusiastically proud of every illustration he has made to be shown off.
I invited my guest inside. I ran and fetched my ink and the finest of my brushes
made from hair clipped from a cat‟s ear. I sat down on the floor and froze Might this contest be a ruse or ploy that I‟d end up paying for
with my blood or my head? Perhaps But hadn‟t all the legendary illustrations by the old masters of Herat been drawn with fine lines that ran
between death and beauty? I was filled with desire to illustrate, yet I was seemingly afraid to draw exactly like the old masters, and I restrained
myself. Looking at blank sheet of paper, I pause so that my soul might rid itself of
apprehension. I ought to have focused solely on the beautiful horse I was about render; I ought to have mustered my strength and concentration.

When the guest comes to Olive‟s house, he is in hurry to let the guest come inside. He runs and prepares his stuff in a rush. He says that he is full of desire to draw a
horse. He keeps concentrating and working on his drawing in order to make a beautiful horse as best as he can.
Adler‟s psychodynamic theory especially in individual psychology has a concept about strive for personal superiority. This striving motive shows no
concern to others as cited in Jess Gregory, 2009, p. 72. Olive acts enthusiastically as a miniaturist in order to strive for his personal superiority. His
striving is motivated by exaggerated feelings of his personal inferiority to show his talent to others. Consequently, He is eager to make great paintings by
practicing and willingly accept other style of painting.
