Austen’s biographical background in writing Pride and Prejudice 2000 written by Dwi Utami and analysis on the irony in the characterization in Jane Austen’s
novel Pride and Prejudice 1998 written by E. Rahayu Prasetyaningsih. This study involves character and characterization with psychological
approach and Emotional Intelligence theory to find the deepest meaning of the novel and it does not involve marriage, setting, practices of feminism,
biographical background, and the irony in characterization.
F. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The theories mentioned below are the theories qualified for the study of this novel. There are three theories that are used to answer the questions stated in
the problem formulation. The theory of character and characterization is used to answer the first
question. The theory will help the writer to find the deeper understanding of the character, which is the ‘flat’, ‘round’, major, secondary, and so forth.
While the theory of character and characterization becomes the base of this study, the theory of Emotional Intelligence and psychoanalysis will be the
core and the crucial elements of this study. The theory of Emotional Intelligence and psychoanalysis are used to answer the second question. The theories will help
us in observing the love problems and the true nature, the basic personality that exists in each character involved in this novel.
Overall, those theories above are needed to analyze this novel. From the theory of character and characterization, I could build the understanding of the
character and characterization at first, analyze the character and classify them based on the theory. By having this method, the process of analyzing this novel
could be easier. The next step is to use the theory of psychoanalysis and Emotional Intelligence to analyze the main characters and their love problems
from the beginning of the story to the end. This includes the process from which the character is introduced in the story, involved in a problem and tried to solve it.
All of the process from the story will change the characters’ personality development.
Moreover, if they manage to solve the problems from their decision then the personality will develop into a better stage. The meaning of stage in this study
is the level of quality in the character of the person himself or herself. This process of personality development creates the uniqueness that differentiates
people from one person to another. In addition, personality development happens when the characters show
their emotions towards love problems and this reveals their personality. Then, in the process of choosing options, they develop their personality and begin to
acknowledge the later stages of personality and emotions. Later on, this process would produce wisdom for people who are able to develop their personality. The
journey of Emotional Intelligence in each character throughout the story is the one that is interesting for me to observe.
CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter is divided into three subdivisions namely, the subject matter, the approach and the procedure. The subject matter concerns with the primary
data of the study. The Approach contains the approach used to analyze the work. The Procedure contains the steps taken in doing the analysis.
A. SUBJECT MATTER
The title of the book analyzed in this study is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice published by Collins in 1952 and it consists of 352 pages. Actually, this
novel was completed in August 1797 with the original title First Impression but the publisher rejected it. After her achievement with Sense and Sensibility in
1811, she began to rewrite Pride and Prejudice, recognized as her greatest success; it quickly reprinted at that time. Pride and Prejudice is her most popular novel
since 1813. This is the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a brave and intelligent woman and Mr. Darcy, a very rich and proud man. The editor, Tony Tanner, Pride and
Prejudice, is a novel about how a man changes his manners and a woman changes her mind.
B. APPROACH
Since this thesis deals with the alteration of emotion, I chose to employ the Psychological Approach in analyzing the novel because the approach put the work

of literature as the fine art of introducing remarkable characters’ traits. This study will use the concept of emotional intelligence introduced by Daniel Goleman, in
1995. The psychological approach is important because without knowing the characters’ personality, it is impossible to understand the emotion that the
characters express in the story. Therefore, to analyze the characters’ personality development in Pride and Prejudice, one must have a good understanding about
the basic knowledge of id, ego and superego from the theory of psychoanalysis and emotion from the theory of Emotional Intelligence EI.
A. PROCEDURE
The procedure in this study concerns the steps taken in doing the analysis so that the study is able to obtain the solution for the problems formulated in this
study. Some steps taken in this study are: Firstly, I started to read Pride and Prejudice, as the primary source of my study, for many times in order to obtain a
good understanding of the content of the novel and to focus on the problems I would analyze. Secondly, the observation of the serial and motion picture as the
secondary source is conducted to obtain other people’s interpretation and view on the novel. Thirdly, I took notes of the points I would like to discuss, such as the
comments from the writer and the other characters in a summary that I have made. Fourthly, I read other references as the tertiary sources to support the answer to
the problems formulated. The writer also searched the appropriate information as the third-rate data in the library indexing system; the indices to this information
are also available in an electronic format. This study also accomplishes a manual PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
