D. Theoretical Framework
This study is conducted in order to solve the problem. Two theories are applied. The first is theory of literature and the second is theory of psychology.
The theory of literature consists of theory of critical approaches, theory of character, and theory of characterization. The theory of critical approaches is used
in order to find the approach which is appropriate to this study and also help the writer in understanding the topic being discussed in this study. The first problem
occurs in understanding about how the author describes the main character’s personality in this novel. Since personality is the dynamic organization of
26 characteristic and is described as an individual’s most striking characteristic,
theory of character and characterization by Murphy is applied. These theories help the writer to analyze the personality character of Janice Templeton, the main
character in the novel Audrey Rose. The second problem is the understanding of how the author describes Janice Templeton’s reactions toward Elliot Hoover’s
claim that Janice’s daughter is Hoover daughter’s reincarnation. To analyze this problem, theory of psychoanalysis by Freud and theory of motivation by Maslow
are employed. From these theories, it can be concluded the reactions of Janice Templeton toward Elliot Hoover’s claim for her daughter. For the addition, the
novel itself-Audrey Rose- is used as the primary reference in order to conduct this study.
