Identity-Based Decision Making Theory of Decision Making
Designing for Decision Making. This theory is used to complete the first and third theories, especially to show the relation between the main character’s
characteristics, unconsciousness, and decision making. The last theory is the theory of the relationship between literature and
psychology. The researcher uses the explanation by Wellek and Warren and also Dastmard. Their theories are stated to support the theories of characteristics and
decision making since this thesis’s concern is as a literary study.
Before applying those theories, the researcher finds out that the author presents the main character, who is in a coma, not differently like someone in a
coma in the real life, but as a normal person. Then, when applying all of the theories stated above, the researcher is able to identify how the main character is
described by the author in the plot development of the novel, how the unconscious supports her struggle to overcome her conflict, and how her struggle affects her
life’s decision making. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
