SUMMARY
LISTIYO RINI. A. 320080217. TEENAGERS’ NAÏVE LOVE IN WILLIAM

PERSPECTIVE.
RESEARCH
PAPER.

MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA.2012.
The major problem of this study is how the naïve love is reflected in the
major character’s personality. The aim of this study is to analyze William
Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet based on the structural elements and the
development of personality of the major character based on Psychoanalytic
Perspective. This study focuses on the major characters, namely Romeo and
Juliet.
The method of data collection is qualitative method. This study uses two
data sources, namely primary and secondary data source. The primary data source
is the script of the play itself, while the secondary data source includes books and
other data that have relationship with the research. Technique of the Data
Collection is taking note, while the technique of Data Analysis in this study is
descriptive and hermeneutic.
Based on the structural analysis it is evident that in this drama, William
Shakespeare wants to deliver a message that teenage love is naïve and love can
cause death. Based on the psychological analysis, it clear that in Romeo and Juliet
play Shakespeare describes a psychological phenomenon, in which the major
characters, Romeo and Juliet, have some such qualities as innocent emotion,
strong feeling of affection and strong feeling of tenderness.
