faces win-lose solution. She wins from her brother who wants to dominate her life. Finally, she can escape from her family and rule a bigger country.
This marriage is my escape from him. As queen of England I command a fortune greater than his, I rule a country bigger than Cleves, infinitely
more populous and powerful….This marriage is my victory and my freedom. 140
b. Anne Versus Duke of Norfolk, Jane Boleyn and Katherine Howard
The conflict between Anne and Howard family is called simple conflict because it is triggered by the differences on goals. In this case, the cause of
conflict between Anne and Howard family is interest. Both of them have their own goal and interest. Anne wants to be a good queen for England. On the other
hand, Howard family also has an ambition to get the throne in their hands once again. Together, Katherine Howard, Jane Boleyn, and Duke of Norfolk plan to
make Howard family on the throne once again. It can be seen through the conversation between Duke of Norfolk, Jane Boleyn and Katherine Howard in
page 103-104. They try to put Anne aside and make Katherine become a queen. Duke of Norfolk is so happy to know that his niece attracts the king’s attention.
He commands Katherine to continue her charm to seduce the king and make the king falls in love with her. He also commands Jane Boleyn to watch and help
Katherine in planning their dirty plan to get the throne. After the marriage is done, there is nothing happened between Anne and
the king. She is still a virgin. On the other hand, the king is falling in love with Katherine Howard and planning to put Anne aside so that he can marry Katherine.

Norfolk when they are talking about the alliance with Cleves may no longer important and Queen Anne is not useful any longer. The conversation in page
179-180 and page 201 also reveals the king’s plans to accuse Anne of witchcraft. When the king needs any evidence to put Anne aside, Howard family will give the
evidence against Anne. After that, they will continue their plan to get the throne of England through Katherine.
Based on the description above, it can be concluded that Anne is in grave danger because of some people’s plan. Anne realizes that the king falls in love
with Katherine Howard. Because of that reason, the king tries to annul the marriage no matter what it costs. Since the enemy plans to destroy Anne in
indirect way, then she seeks the information from Katherine Howard about the king. From her conversation with Katherine, Anne knows that Katherine is
commanded by her uncle, Duke of Norfolk, to please the king. Anne knows the fact that the king is already falling in love with Katherine.
“….He will command you to his side,” I say through cold lips.” I see that. Wife or whore. But will he send me to the tower? Will he have me
killed?” I don’t know,” she says. She looks like a frightened child. “I can’t tell.
Nobody tells me anything except that I have to please him. And I have to do that.” 261-262
In facing this conflict, Anne does not have any choice except to accept the king’s demands. In this case, Anne faces lose-win solution. She agrees that
she is precontracted. As a result, the marriage is false. Anne uses accommodation style. She lets her dreams destroy by another party’s ambition. She decides to put
her throne and lets Katherine marries to the king. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
