can leave that small town to reach her goal in life. The stranger asks Chantal to help him to tell the people in Viscos about his offer. For the repayment, she will
get a bar of gold which can make her life much better than now. This condition makes Chantal confused because she actually wants the gold but it means that she
has to tell the people about the stranger’s offer and maybe there will be a murder in Viscos.
Finally, Chantal takes the stranger’s offer and tells to the people about the stranger’s message. Then, what happen? Because of her action, people become
weird and they are busy in choosing who will become the victim. When Chantal knows about this, she is so surprised and plans to save the victim. This makes
Chantal is motivated to save Viscos to the normal situation. However, Viscos is a small harmonious and peaceful village.
If there is a murder, Viscos will be damaged. Chantal does not want it happens, that is why, she tries to save Viscos,
her birthplace.
B. Approach of the Study
The focus of my study is on the motivation of Chantal in saving Viscos village, her birthplace. In analyzing the problems, I need an approach which can
help me in analyzing the problem. There are two kinds of approaches which proposed by Wellek and Warren 1956: 80.
Those are intrinsic and extrinsic approaches, where this study uses the extrinsic approach. Extrinsic approach has
five types which can be used to analyze a literary work. Those approach are literary and biography, literature and psychology, literature and society, literature
and ideas, literature and the other arts.

According to Rohrberger and Woods 1971: 6-15, there are five kinds of approaches. They are formalist approach, biographical approach,
sociocultural-historical approach, mythopoeic approach and psychological approach. In this study I use psychologycal approach because it can help me in
analyzing human motivation, personality and also behavior patterns which all of them is related to psychology field. In this study, Chantal’s motivation in saving
her village affects her psychological states. By using this psychological approach, this study brings us to see a deeper understanding of Chantal’s motivation in
saving Viscos village. However, human motivation is a part of human psychology which can explain more about motivation behavior. Therefore, literature and
psychological approach are needed to be applied to answer the problems formulated in this study which is related to psychological field.
