In David C. McClelland Human Motivation 376, Weiner states that if the goal of anxiety motive is some kind of escape, measurement in this area is
deficient, because it concentrates on the anxiety responses rather than on what relieves them. A motive is better defined in terms of its objective, or the incentive
that it seeks or that would satisfy it. There is some evidence that what more anxious people seek is some kind of security, or the reassurance that comes from
being told what to do or knowing what to do.
2.2 Theoretical Framework
The theories that are used in this study are the theory of literature and the theory of motivation. Theory of literature consists of three parts. They are: the
theory of character, theory of characterization, and the theory of literary approaches. These theories are important to be applied because these theories are
related to the main discussion of this study; to find out the character of Paulo in The Valkyries.
The approach used in this study is psychological approach. The researcher chooses psychological approach because motivation is part of psychological
theory. The researcher believes that this approach and the theory of motivation can help the researcher in understanding the analysis of my problems about
motivation. They are used to reveal the motivation of Paulo to seek his guardian angel.
