their study. That is the best thing people can do to make their beloved one happy
these days.
1.5 Definition of Terms
There are some important terms used in this study. Those terms need to be explained in order to avoid misconception among the readers
1.5.1 Character
Abrams 1981 states that “characters as the persons that presented in a dramatic or narrative work, who are interpreted by the reader as being endowed
with moral, dispositional, and emotional qualities that are expressed in what they say in the dialogue and by what they do in their action” p. 20. Therefore, the
qualities of a character will be described from the beginning of a story until the
end as the effects of environmental crises and personal factors take part in
revealing and shaping a character. Therefore the researcher will use this term as
the reference to describe the characters Dr. Manette and Lucie Manette. 1.5.2
Characterization
Henkle 1977 defines characterization as a method by which an author creates, reveals, and develops the changes so that, the reader can imagine what
kind of person the character is p. 92-97. Characterization is a way for a writer to describe the character within a story so that the reader will be able to have a vivid
image of the character. Being able to grab a character’s images makes the readers be able to enjoy the story more.
1.5.3 Father-Daughter Relationship
According to Winnicott 1998, p. 35 father-daughter relationship is a bound or relationship made by a father and a daughter. It is an important place to
learn about male-female relationship. From a father, little girls gain their first reflection of themselves as a female. The girls then develop a sense of acceptance
or non-acceptance. The girls’ self-concept as a female person is largely shaped by this father-daughter relationship.
1.5.4 Love
Fromm 2006, pp. 1-29 love is an art which people seek to achieve interpersonal union. People understand that they are weak and ugly creature when
they are alone therefore they seek interpersonal union. Interpersonal union can strengthen people and make them confident. Therefore, love has become the most
fundamental passion which becomes the force that keeps the human race together. It is very appropriate to define love within the novel A Tale of Two Cities by
Charles Dickens. It is because love is the reason that ties the relationship between
each character inside the novel. Meanwhile becomes something that eventually develops and reveals each character personal traits. It is also something that
makes the story more complex.
1.5.5 Patriotism
