CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter is divided into two parts; they are conclusions and suggestions. Conclusions are the answers of the research question while
suggestions consist of two parts, suggestions for the future researchers and suggestion for English teaching and learning processes.
A. Conclusions
Based on the analysis of the previous chapter, there are two conclusions that can be drawn in this chapter. They are the description of the two main
characters, Chris and Paulo and the true meanings of Paulo and Chris‘s journey in
the Mojave dessert. By using the theories of character and methods of characterization, the theories of psychology and psychological approach the writer
has managed to answer the first research question about the main characters‘
descriptions, Chris and Paulo. While the theory of motivation, theory of love and the theory of symbol are used to answer the second question about the true
meanings of the journey towards Chris and Paulo.
1. Portrayal of Paulo
Paulo was portrayed as a magus. He wa s J.‘s disciple who was given a task to
meet Gene in Mojave Desert in order to meet his guardian angel. He had been dedicating himself to learn magic and he also mentioned that he was a master of
magus. Moreover, Paulo was a careless man. He almost made himself and his wife, Chris, killed in the middle of Mojave Desert by asking Chris to take off their
57 clothes because of the hot weather. Even though Paulo was a careless man but he
was a loving husband and a strong-willed person. As a husband, Paulo loved his wife very much. Through the journey, Paulo also wanted to fix his relationship
with his wife, which was recently not going well. His effort in order to be able to speak with his guardian angel showed how strong his will is. Even though he had
to fly for twelve hours from Brazil to Los Angeles and drove for hours to find Gene, so that he could meet the Valkyries to teach him to see his angel, but he
could pass the tests and in the end he was able meet his guardian angel.
2. Portrayal of Christina
Christina, known as Chris, was Paulo‘s wife. She accompanied Paulo in the Mojave Desert in order to search for the Valkyries. In The Valkyries,
Chris‘s character was grown and developed along with her contact with her angel. Chris
loved Paulo very much and she was very faithful to Paulo. She accepted Paulo‘s
path as a magus and she did not even take it as a problem. She always supported Paulo‘s activity as a magus and she respected her husband‘s world. Chris would
do anything to protect and preserve her marriage no matter how hard it would be. It is not only Paulo who is a strong-willed person but Chris also has that trait. In
the forty-day journey in Mojave Desert, she insisted to accompany her husband wherever he went in his journey to converse with his angel no matter what
challenges she faced. Chris was also an instinctive woman. It can be seen when Chris was trying
to learn how to use her second mind for the first time. In addition, she was also a brave woman. The journey that she took with her husband in the Mojave Dessert
58 had changed her into a strong woman who would fight for her love. Though, Chris
looked like a weak woman but she was actually strong and brave. She would do anything to defend her love even doing dangerous things, such as when she came
face-to-face with Valhalla and challenged her on the Ritual That Demolishes Ritual.
