Method of the Study

By observing Walker‟s description about Doe‟s apartment which is full of black colors, the writer interprets that John Doe lives in solitude. It is hidden in black color which means unknown, mysterious, and secretive Scott- Kemmis, http:www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.comcolor- black.html. Even, the windows are painted. The room is very strange, unusual, and untidy. Moreover, it shows a desolate place which describes nothing is pleasant or attractive and also full of emptiness, “The room is bizarre, with some areas cluttered and others barren ” Walker, 1994: 73. Besides that, his oddity is showed in the depiction of his bed that has no matress and only the metal frame and springs covered with a sheet which has stains of sweat and rust dots. This information states vividly that he lives by himself because there is no possibility of indication of any other person who stays with him. His apartment completes the interpretation that he is indeed loner by his own. Besides his own choice to be a loner, he is also a loner for being rejected by society. In the story, it begins with Detective Mills‟ chance to have an eye contact with John Doe. It happens in time of his visiting to John Doe‟s apartment with Somerset. John Doe suddenly shoots Mills and Somerset when he sees them in front of his apartment door. This action makes Somerset and Mills run to catch him. In the end of city alleyway, Mills cannot find John Doe and all of sudden Doe attacks him and takes Mills‟ gun. Mills is trapped and his mouth is inserted his own barrel of gun by John Doe. However, Doe leaves after he shoots Mills‟ chest. Somerset comes after and helps Mills to stand up. They get angry by Do e‟s action to shoot them, so they decide to go back to Doe‟s apartment to find out his identity. They pay a thin vagrant to make false statement so they have a right to enter his apartment accompanied by cops. In this case, Mills asks a sketch artist to dr aw John Doe‟s face through Mills‟ description. Considering with the characterization by looking the facial features Zanjani, 2006: 67 , John Doe is described through his face‟s sketch by the sketch artist. SKETCH ARTIST You‟re sure this is him? Mills stands over the sketch artist. Two deputy detectives, SARA and BILLY, are at work along with two other forensics searching, photographing and dusting. MILLS Just put it in circulation. SKETCH ARTIST You got it. Tomorrow morning, this city‟s good citizens will be on the lookout for Elmer Fudd. Walker, 1994: 75 John Doe‟s face is portrayed as similar as Elmer Fudd. Elmer Fudd is a cartoon character from The Looney Tunes Show. He is a created as an odd figure with an egg-shaped head, squat body, and bulbous nose http:looneytunes.wikia.comwikiElmer_Fudd. Egg-shaped head is famous with the nickname of nerd or geek. Considering with the description of the character‟s look Zanjani, 2006: 67 and dialogue from other characters to describe another character Zanjani, 2006: 69, Walker implicitly puts a name of Elmer Fudd through the sketch artist ‟s description as an explanation that John Doe is rejected by people because of his facial look. It is unusual for people to meet someone whose face looks strange and unearthly. For another instance, John Doe finds difficulty to stay in conversation with people. SOMERSET reads “On the subway today, a man came to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, this lonely man, talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head began to hurt from his banality. I almost didn‟t notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn‟t help laughing.” Walker, 1994: 77 The quotation above is John Doe‟s notebook which is found by Somerset in his apartment. Through Zanjani‟s statement that the character‟s action is his mind which reveals who he is 2006: 70, the writer interprets that John Doe‟s saying shows his disability to stay in long conversation with people. He even says “tried” Walker, 1994: 77 which means that he makes an effort to make the man to be more comfortable. He cannot stand the man‟s boring subject conversation and it causes him to behave unpleasant action. He does not apologize about it. Instead, he keeps laughing on his unintended mistake which afflicts the man. His reaction shows an action which is considered as a social mistake and not polite. This action shows that John Doe is a loner because he wants to be and he is rejected by people. Another example to show that John Doe is loner by social rejection is found when John Doe comes to visit Detective Mills‟ house and suddenly wants to play a husband with Mills‟ wife. His action is very impolite because he does not know Mills‟ wife. Even, he never meets Tracy Mills‟ wife, but suddenly he wants to play a husband-wife with her. So, Tracy rejects him. But
