C. Method of the Study
In order to collect data in this research, the writer used the library research method. The primary data were taken from the novel itself, David Baldacci’s First
Family. Meanwhile, the secondary data were taken from several encyclopedias, books, journals, reviews, and reference dealing with this research.
Furthermore, there were some steps taken in conducting this research. The first step was the close reading. The writer did it several times in order to
understand the story deeply. This was aimed to understand the content of the novel thoroughly and to focus more on the main aspects discussed in the novel.
Determining the topic and formulating the problem formulation were the next step done by the writer. Here the writer used the problem formulation to limit
the analysis scope only of the chosen topic. The third and fourth steps were finding possible method that could be applied in conducting this research and
choosing the suitable approach and supporting theories to be applied in this research. The writer then chose psychological approach of Rohrberger and Woods
1971. Furthermore, the writer took some theories to be inserted in Chapter II. Some of those theories were theories of character and characterization, theory of
human motivation, and theory of psychology. Then, in collecting some additional data related to the research which were not available in the library, internet
research was also done. After obtaining enough data, answering the question mentioned in the
problem formulation was done. In the analysis part, the problems were answered step by step. Firstly, the writer analyzed how Jane Cox was depicted in the novel.
