CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS
This chapter deals with the answers to the questions of this study. The first one discusses the description of Joy and Sadness. The second question aims to analyze the
meaning behind the characters’ interpersonal conflict.
A. The Description of Characters 1. The Description of Joy
Joy is actually an emotion of preteen girl, Rilley, however, in Inside Out film she becomes the central character. She becomes the central character
because she involved in all of the events in the story. Joy is a round character, who has different side at the end of film. Joy has several direct characteristics
which can be seen from her physical appearance. Since her physical appearances have meanings, then the researcher will
elaborate deeper about Joy’s appearances. Those appearances give brief explanation that Joy is an energetic character. Starting from her skin with vibrant

“Joy plays the accordion around Headquarters. The others appear, looking grumpy. Joy yells over the noise.
Joy : Hello Did I wake you?
Anger : Do you have to play that? Joy
: Well, I have to practice. And I don’t think of it as playing so much as hugging.
She tosses aside the accordion and runs off. Joy
: Okay, first day of school Very, very exciting I was up late last night figuring out a new plan. Here it is.”p.34
The next point is her green dress. Joy’s green dress’ means that Joy is giving harmony, balance, center, and refreshment either for the other emotions or Rilley
