2.6 Theoretical Framework
Theories are the basis for analyzing the novel. Based on the theories that have been explained in the preceding section, the researcher would like to draw up
the application of the theories in this theoretical framework. Basically, there are two research questions will be discussed in this study
with the same approach for both those two research questions. Since both of the research questions are dealing with the psychology aspect, the researchers used
the Psychological Approach to discuss it. After deciding the approach, the approach is used as a base to choose the
theories based on the approaches. The first question is related with the way Jinda, as the main character of Rice without Rain, struggles against the land-rent system.
The researcher uses the analysis of Jinda’s behavior in the novel. Having finished analyzing the first research question, the researcher goes on to discuss the second
research question. The researcher wants to find out what motivates Jinda to struggle against the land-rent system. Since the second research question is related
to the human motivation, the researcher applies the psychological approach. The psychological approach used in the literary work will sharpen the analysis the
correlation between literature and psychology aspects. Theory of emotion, motivation, and human needs are used to discuss and
analyze the second research question related to Jinda’s motivation to struggle against poverty. The theories of emotion, which are used in this study, are
proposed by Jung, Arnold, Leeper, Lazarus, Kleinginna and Kleinginna, and also Worchel and Shebilske. These will be used to explore the emotion which is

20 experienced by Jinda. The writer also chooses the theory of motivation proposed
by Steers Porter, Murray, Beck, and Petry in order to analyze Jinda’s motivation to struggle against poverty. Based on theory of motivation, there are
the stages of needs. Therefore, the writer also uses theory of human needs by Maslow and McClelland. In this study, needs are the reason which motivates
Jinda to do something. Besides, in order to know the influence of Jinda’s emotion towards her motivation, the writer uses the relationship of emotion and motivation
by Huitt and Jung in analyzing Jinda’s motivation. Based on the theoretical framework provided above, the study will be
guided to uncover the research questions in the problem formulation.
