2.3 Theoritical framework

2.3.1 CharacterAccording to Karen Bernardo, Characterization in Literature (2011)Character is an important figure at the centre of the story’s action or theme

Characters in this story can be divided based on their function and position into main and second characters ;Main character has the most important role in developing the story with psychological aspect (Constance Briscoe).Second character plays parts in the story and gives or distributes more influence to main character (Miss K).

Per Linell (2009), ‘dialogue action and

Prescription’

Every character could be distinguished by a

dialog, an action or prescription in the novel.

Dialogue refers to the words spoken

between characters in a short story or novel,.

It also refers to a character speaking to

himself or herself in order to reveal the

personality of a character-( opinions,

thoughts, impressions), create conflict, and

advance the narrative.

Action is the events in a literary work.

Prescription is something prescribed.

In chapter 17 – A Taste of Paradise, page 269-280

The dialogue between Constance Briscoe and Miss K was about

the way Constance asked Miss K’s opinion about her dream to be

a barrister.

Page 273 ;

line 11-14; ‘ That’s right, my girl, aim high,’ she (Miss K) said. ‘

There’sonly one person who can stop you, Clare, you

remember that. Anya Korchinskye says there is only

one person in the whole world who can stop you.’

Line 15; ‘Who is that, miss?’ i (Clare) said.

Line 16; ‘You, Clare. Only you can stop yourself. You have the

ability to go far. So just go.’

The characteristic of the Charactersinside the Novel Uglyare ;

Constance Briscoe (Clare) : strong, diligent, smart

Miss K (Clare’s teacher) : nice, care

The action Miss K accepted and

did welcome Clare to her flat

The Prescription about the willing

of her to show there was no any

other factor instead of escaping the

blacken of school’s name under the

relationship just between a teacher

and student.

Page 271

line 4-5; ‘ She showed me my

room and told me to treat

the flat as I would do my

home’ ,

line 10-12; ‘Miss K told me to lie

on the goatskin rug and to

make myself comfortabe.

She said i could ring my

mother if I wanted to.’

Page 270

line 20-22; ‘Miss K put forward

that if my mother was in

agreement and she herself

was willing, it was very

difficult to see what that

had to do with the school.’

Some additional informations about the charactreristics of Contsance Briscoe

and Miss K had according in Chapter 17

Page 272

line 17-22; ‘ She was very kind to me. My mother was happy for me to stay there as

long as the embarrasment was kept away from the school and from her.

Miss K had not asked for a contribution for my keep although my mother

was still getting child benefit for me.

Page 273

line 1-3; ‘My schoolmarks improved and my artwork was pretty impressive

Page 274

line 18-20; ‘Miss K never asked for any money for my keep so after the third month

I offered her $8, which i had saved up from my Saturday job.’

Page 276

line 9-10; ‘ On 18 May I was fourteen years old. Miss K knew

line 14-15; ‘it was my birthday. She bought me a book, ‘ I love Miss K – she was the

mother I had never had.’

It means that this study describes about personality and the

acquisition of social attitudes and skills as the interaction

between a person as character and the environment by

observing our social worlds and trying to understand why

people behave, think, and feel as they do , erik erikson (1950),

psychosocial development stages theory.

A psychologist Gordon Allport (1985), psychosocial

is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to

understand and explain how the thought, feeling and

behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual,

imagined or implied presence of other human beings"
