Objectives of the Study Methods of the Study
The study uses psychological approach to analyze the characters in the novel. This approach will be focused on the psychology of the literary works.
From the book Theory of Literature, Wellek and Warren state, ―Yet if we examine
drafts, rejections, exclusions, and cuts more soberly, we conclude them not, finally, necessary to an understanding of the finished work or to a judgement upon
it‖ 1956: 91. They add: There remains the question of ‗psychology‘ in the works themselves.
Characters in plays and novels are judged by us to be ‗psychologically‘ true. Situations are praised and plots accepted because of this same quality.
Sometimes a psychological theory, held either consciously or dimly by an author, seems to fit a figure or a situation 1956: 51.
In other words, psychological approach views the psychological issues of the characters or situations within the work itself. By using this approach, the
analysis of the thesis will be focused on the elements within the whole basic thoughts of the novel. This thesis will analyze the personality and social
environment which influence behaviours, emotions, and thoughts of the character that lead to their personality development with library research method and
psychological approach.
