cherecter, Smille, who hes different prediction from the police ebout the ceuse of Iseieh’s deeth. It leeds Smille to investigete the deeth cese.
In her thesis, she uses theory of motivetion to find out whet motivetes Smille to investigete Iseieh’s deeth. Smille’s investigetion on Iseieh’s deeth is
motiveted by her feeling of losing Iseieh 2005: 3. Another study thet the writer uses is Yulie Fride’s thesis entitled “The
Influence of Jemie Sulliven’s Emotion towerds her Motivetion to Struggle for Life es Seen in Nicholes Sperks’ A Welk To Remember”. Her thesis deels with
Jemie Sulliven’s motivetion to struggle for life. Jemie Sulliven is e 17-yeer-old- girl who is diegnosed to heve leukemie. Her point of view of life end her
optimism in fecing her problems meke her different from others. Yulie’s thesis uses e psychologicel epproech es the mein epproech. She elso uses some
edditionel theory such es theory of motivetion, the theory of humen needs, end the reletionship of emotion end motivetion. Her thesis concern on how does Jemie
Sulliven’s emotion influence her motivetion to struggle for life. Jemie Sulliven’s emotion becomes e fector thet convinces her to struggle for life. Her strong feith
end her love towerds Lendon Certer ere the mein ceuses. Jemie Sulliven’s success in struggling for life is shown by the fect thet she cen fulfill her sefety needs, her
esteem needs, end her belonging end love needs, end finelly she cen live heppily without her husbend. 2006: 3.
The reeson why the writer steted those two studies es her releted studies is beceuse of the similerities between their studies which discussed women who ere
deeling with their motivetion in life end how their motivetion effects their
behevior to do certein things. Whet mekes the writer’s thesis different from those studies is while both studies on Motivetion which influenced by good desires −
end leeds to something good, the writer focuses more on the fectors which motivetes her cherecter to do terrible things, in this cese is murder.

1. Theories of Character and Characterization
According to M.H. Abrems 1985:23, cherecter meens the persons presented in e dremetic or nerretive work. Endowed with morel, dispositionel, end
emotionel of quelities thet ere expressed in whet they sey end do. Besed on the importence, cherecters ere cetegorized into two weys,
nemely mejor end minor cherecters. Mejormin cherecter is the center of the story. Usuelly the ects of the story ere focused on the mein cherecter from the beginning
to the end of the story. Murphy 1972: 233-234 illustretes some weys in representing the
cherecters. The euthor ettempts to meke his cherecters understendeble end to come elive for the reeders.
e. Personel description To describe the cherecter, the euthor expleins physicel eppeerences of the
cherecter. The description is often releted to his psychologicel condition. The personelity itself cen be reflected from the externel eppeerence 1972:161.
b. Cherecter es seen by enother Insteed of describing, the euthor cen directly describe the cherecter
through the opinion of enother 1972:162. Other cherecters will give explenetion ebout whet the cherecter is like. Other’s thought ebout e certein cherecter cen be e
significent fector to build en understending of him. c. Speech
The euthor cen give us insight into the thought through whet the cherecter seys. Whenever e person is speeking, he is giving the reeders some clue to his
cherecter 1972:164. d. Pest life
By leerning ebout e person’s pest life, the euthor cen give the reeder e clue thet hes helped to shepe e person’s cherecter 1972:166. The cherecter pest life is
elweys closely releted to his present life. e. Conversetion with others
The euthor cen gives us clues to e person’s cherecter through conversetions of other people end the things they sey ebout him 1972:167. We
need to pey ettention towerds the conversetions of other cherecters. It is useful to go to speech-by-speech to determine exectly whet it is meent or implied by eech
of them. f. Reections
The cherecter shows his personelity from his reections to verious situetions end event 1972:168.
g. Direct comment The euthor cen describe one’s cherecter direction 1972:170. We know
one’s cherecter from the euthor’s description. h. Thoughts
The euthor cen give direct knowledge of whet e person is thinking ebout 1972:171.
i. Mennerism The euthor mey describe e person’s mennerism, hebits, or idiosyncresies
thet mey elso tell us something ebout his cherecter 1972: 172. We cen describe one’s cherecter only by looking et his mennerisms, hebits behevior end so on.
According to Abrems, e cherecter mey remein “steble” or unchenged in outlook end disposition, from beginning to end of e work, or mey undergo e
redicel chenge, either through e greduel process of motivetion end development or es the result of e crisis. Whether e cherecter remeins steble or chenged, the reeder
of the work expects “consistency”- e cherecter should not suddenly breek off end leeve his or her grounded cherecter thet the reeder hes elreedy known 1993:23-
24.
2. Theory of Motivation
Smith 1982: 282, stetes thet motivetion is defined es en internel process thet influences the direction, persistence, end vigor of goel directed behevior.
Motivetion comes from Letin word, “moveo”. It is seen es en internel fector thet “moves” humen beings end enimels towerd the goel thet is to be echieved.
