daughter are different but same people who need each other.
2.3 Theoretical Framework
To answer the questions in the problem formulation, the researcher use some theories related to the topic are applied. The study uses the psychological
approach, to get deeper into the characters’ psychological sides. Since the problems deal with human psychology, the basis analysis needs the psychological
point of view. The character and characterization theories are used to answer the first
question of problem formulation. It is used as a tool for analyzing the characters in Charles Dickens novel entitled A Tale of Two Cities. Thus, theories of the
character and characterization are employed to analyze the characters and characterization of Lucie Manette and Dr. Manette. The theory of love will be
used to analyzing kinds of love that are experienced by Lucie Manette and Dr.
Manette and eventually will also help for answering the second question.
Meanwhile, the theory of fatherly love will be used to analyze the kind of things that a father will do to show his love toward his daughter. The theory of motherly
love will be used as a comparison that a father and a mother do different thing in showing their love. The theory of father-daughter relationship will be used as a
foundation to analyze the bond between a father and a daughter, how they show their love in a father-daughter way toward each other. All of the theories are
applied to analyze the father-daughter relationship that is shown by Dr. Manette and Lucie Manette and how they react to the feelings that they experience.
