Madame Wu would not have listened to what he said. He knew it because since the first time he was going to teach, Madame Wu had warned him not to
teach her and her family Christianity teaching. He taught the Christianity teaching to Madame Wu by applying it in daily life and giving examples to
Madame Wu, so she could learn it well by seeing the teaching applied in real context of life. Most Chinese people thought if they accept Christianity
teaching, they had to leave their identity as Chinese people, leaving Chinese culture. Here Madame Wu did not realize that actually she had accepted and
done Christianity teaching. Madame Wu did not glorify Jesus as the Lord directly, but the Christianity teaching has given impacts to her personality
development. From Madame Wu’s personality development and how her personality
develops, we can see that we cannot teach a new teaching to someone in the way of our point of view, but we must impart the teaching in the way of
hisher point of view. It means that we should also consider about the culture of the person we teach because culture is very important. It forms someone’s
personality either he realizes it or not. The way Priest Andre imparted Christianity teaching to Madame Wu is like what Enoch Wan 1991 says in
Christianity in the Eye of Traditional Chinese :
“Christianity should not be transplanted to Chinese in a Western pot; it should be transplanted and rooted in Chinese soil.”
We can also see how someone can influence another one although they are from different cultural background. It depends on the way heshe presents
the teaching. We can learn much from what Priest Andre did. The other thing 50
we can conclude from the analysis is love. Love, something that Madame Wu had never felt before, has a great power in changing her life and recovering
her relationship with her family and people around her. Even in Christianity teaching Jesus says that the primary laws of all laws in the Bible are to love
Him more than other people and to love other people like we love ourselves. The main point of Christianity teaching is love. Even Lord sent His only son
to be crucified for saving and expiating humans’ sins because of His great love to us.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
This last chapter consists of two sections, namely conclusion and suggestions. The conclusion concerns with the conclusion of the analysis of the
study which is drawn from chapter four. The suggestions concerns with suggestions for future researchers and suggestion for English teachers.
A. Conclusion
After analyzing Pearl S. Buck’s Pavilion of Women 1946, it can be concluded that someone’s personality can develop through hisher life which may
be influenced by the society, the family, or people around himher. Madame Wu changes much from the beginning of the novel until the end of the novel. At the
beginning she was conservative, strict, and someone who was responsible but did not care about others’ feeling. By the time goes by, since she knew Priest Andre
she changed much. She became a tolerant and understanding woman. She had a better relationship with her sons and husband, in which she used to ask them to do
what she wanted without thinking about their feeling. She became a loving and sincere woman. She could admit her mistakes to other people and apologize to
them. She was not perfectionist any more and she could accept the reality. She truly changed. She realized that other people also had feeling and everything that
she wanted to do, she had to think and consider about other people’s feelings. She also had become an open minded and forgiving woman. She never forced her will

to other people anymore. She could accept other people’s decision for their own lives. She also did not take revenge on Priest Andre’s death. She could forgive the
killers. She is a wonderful woman with the combination of her unique characteristics.
Priest Andre taught her many things. He taught her about love, mercy, forgiveness, sincerity, respecting other people, and other kinds of knowledge.
Priest Andre is an intelligent, wise, and kind man. Madame Wu admired him more than any one she knew. Priest Andre gave great influence to Madame Wu’s
personality. Most of Priest Andre’s teaching is the teaching of Christianity. Actually, Madame Wu did not like to be given the teaching of Christianity, but
Priest Andre knew how to give it to her without making her feel to be influenced by another religion.
Before Priest Andre, there was a woman, named Sister Shia, coming to Madame Wu frequently and teaching Madame Wu many kinds of Christian
teaching, but she failed. Madame Wu was not influenced by her teaching at all. Sister Shia came to her and then taught her directly about the Christian teaching,
but Priest Andre did not do so. He did not seem to teach or influence Madame Wu with a teaching of a religion, but he taught her more about life and giving her
some examples of things and problems happening around them and how to face and solve them. He tried to give wise solution by applying love and forgiving in
his solution to any problem that Madame Wu faced. He also gave the real example, namely his own life. Madame Wu learned many things from the way
Priest Andre lived. Priest Andre did care about other people sincerely, although 53
