character, theory of characterization, theory of personality, theory of psychology and theory of motivation.
Firstly, the writer uses the theory of character which helps the writer to decide that Miss Prym is the main character of Paulo Coelho’s The Devil and Miss
Prym. The writer also applies theory of personality and methods of
characterizations in order to answer the first problem formulation. By knowing Miss Prym’s personality by using those three theories, it will be easier for the
writer to find out how Miss Prym is described. Secondly, the writer uses psychological approach to know the meaning of
Miss Prym’s responses to the temptation from her process in having ego, id, and superego. Theory of motivation helps the writer to find out the motivation of Miss
