- Concept of Characterization
Junger
(2004: 5) Characters are important elements in literature. Characters are the
individuals who participate in the action of a literary work. Characters
display certain qualities, or traits; they usually develop and change over
time, and they usually have motivations or reasons for their behaviors.
Character
is all of the mental and moral qualities that make a person different from
other that are expressed in utterance and action. Character as one of aspects
of novel helps the plot to grow and develop through the story. In a story, the
writer may tell us directly how characters usually behave, what sort
individuals they are, or what they and their surroundings look like.
Katri
et al (2010: 2) A complex and
extensive representation of intelligent characters
acting a role
in the story
is needed. The
emotional reaction of the
user to what
happens to the
characters in the
story will depend
greatly on the emotional-relational properties
of these characters.
At least information
about the characters’ physical
state, perceptions, beliefs, personality, emotions, social emotional
relationships, desires and
motivations, action potential,
coping strategy, goals, and action
plans should be
represented in the
character model. use similar concepts to simulate the
generality of human emotional capabilities, such as appraisal and coping
strategies: how characters assess what they perceive, and how they react to
this assessment.
Mullins
(2004:10) point out the main character is defined using the variables of
‘Internal Characteristics’ (values, beliefs, fears, desires, memories, etc) and
‘External Circumstances’ (family, friends, career, social and natural environment
etc). ‘Conflict’ is defined as the growing tension between these two variables.
Each act of the structure is divided by a ‘Commitment’ made by the main
character to a particular goal they hope will resolve the conflict.
The relation between conflict and character is vital, because without character there would be no plot and no story. If there is no conflict that happen to the character, the story will not be interesting because the conflict can influence and change the behavior of the character so the story become more lifelikeness.
