MOTTO

 We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding
it than we do from learning the answer itself (Lloyd Alexander)
 Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must
stop adding and start updating (Robert Brault)
 Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an
injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are
aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily (Thomas Szasz)

PAPER.

The problem of the study is to several how major character reflects her
deviant behaviors. The study analyzes the novel in terms of its structural elements
and based on the psychoanalytic approach.
The object of the study is the personality of the major character of
Josephine. The data sources are literary data. Those are divided in two categories,
primary data sources and secondary data.The primary data source and object of
the study are Crooked House novel itself, meanwhile the secondary is any
reference related the study. The method of data collection of the study is library
research. The technique of data analysis is descriptive analysis.
Based on the analysis, the researcher draws two conclusions: first, based
on the structural analysis of the novel, it has an important role to build up the
story so each element cannot be separated from the other. Second, the study
shows that the cause of deviant behaviors can change the personality. It is
reflected in the major character’s personality when she wants to kill her
grandfather and Nannie.
