A. INTRODUCTION
Literature is a whole expression inscribed in fiction, interprets meaning of nature and

life, desires, flaws, sharing expression, understanding and ultimately sharing expression.

According to Klarer (2004) “Literature is referred to as the entirety of written expression,

with the restriction that not every written can be categorized as literature in the more exact

sense of the word”.

According to Klarer (2004) the Latin word “litteratura” is derived from “littera” (letter),

which is the smallest element of alphabetical writing. It is written that literature is a work of

art orally of in writing that has various superior characteristic such as originality, artistry,

beauty in content and expression. Literature is a works or artistic activities that have no

boundaries. Even though it doesn’t have as a limitation, literary experts have rules to

distinguish between types work with one another.

Literary works besides novels, poetry, short stories, and dramas are also movie. Movie

is a form of mass communication in which the delivery of messages is transferred from

visual elements and audio elements, these two elements are combined into a medium to

convey entertainment, social, educational, and commercial information and also movie is

an artistic creativity of people who make the movie itself. Therefore, movie have creative

abilities because movie are able to describe the existing reality with an imaginary picture

that can be provide entertainment, refection, and reflection for the audience or the public

who witnessed it.

Watching movie become one of the daily activities for some people. People may have

different purposes in watching movie, such as, for refreshing, adding knowledge, studying

foreign language, and understanding foreign culture. Movie can help students to develop

critical skill in the analysis and evaluation of movie, the text in the movie challenges

students to sharpen their powers of observation, establish habits of perceptive watching,

and discover complex aspects of movie that will further enhance their enjoyment of

watching movies.

56
 In researching an in-depth literary work, auxiliary knowledge is needed. In this study,

the author used psychology as a science to assist. Psychological what is used by

considering that literature is an activity psychological, namely when an author describe the

character and characters in the story. Literary works apart from novel, poetry, short stories

and dramas also include movie.

Movie is a story or event recorded using camera as a set of moving picture displayed

in the cinema. According to Imanila & Hendra (2019) movie is visualization about a story

that shown on the screen that produced by recording using camera and digital technology.

Trianto (2013:13) in (Mentari & Wennyta, 2019) defines movie as a result of creative,

process of the film maker that combines various element such as ideas, value systems,

beauty, norms, human behaviors, and technological. Movie has an important part to

express a feeling and imagination of someone. There are some basic elements of fiction

including: plot, characters, setting and theme of the story. And then there are many

approaches to analyze the literature one of them is analyzing character, it studies how to

analyze character in movie, because there will be no movie if there is no character.

Character is one of important elements in the movie, because there will be no movie if

there is no character. According to Imanila & Hendra (2019) Character is an object to

explore the curiosity and interest to understand how nature of human personality.

Character is often expressed through the actions provided for the reader with clues about

the personality of characters. Character also is the term for the people in fiction, the heroes

and villains, allies, and enemies, love interest and comic reliefs.

Understanding a character is more difficult than understand a plot. “Characters is must

more complex, various, and ambiguous. The character in a literary work elevates the

aesthetic value. Any character can be describe by the author because any idea can be

pure in literary works while still acceptable to the readers. For example, a character has

nature of good and evil or created the physical character or characteristic as an ugly, odd,

creepy, and unstructured body. Anyone can repeat what a person has done in story, but

57
considerable skill may be needed to describe what a person is” Principal character of

fiction can arise from a number of events and how these character react to the events at

hand. This thesis is going to have the character analysis of a movie “Beauty and The

Beast” directed by John Alvin. The movie that was published on March, 17 th, 2017 the

duration is 129

Beauty and the beast is a 2017 musical fantasy film directed by bill Condon from a

de Beaumont.

The researcher interests to analyze main characters because this movie was incredible

B. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The researcher will describe some researchers which are relevant to this research to

make the research arrangement easier. Based on the journals finding, the researcher

adapts from those journals about the things related to this research.

58
 The First related research is conducted by (Mentari & Wennyta, 2019) entitled

“PERSONALITY TRAITS: ANALYSIS OF MAIN CHARACTER IN CINDERELLA MOVIE

2015 BY DISNEY “.The purpose of this study was to analysis of main character in

Cinderella life action movie. This research used qualitative research. The researcher used

personality traits to analysis main character in Cinderella Movie. The result of this

research will do by watching the movie of the data source thoroughly, understanding the

data source and by note taking. The process of collecting the data will divide into several

steps. Firstly, watching the Cinderella movie, second, reading the script, and

understanding the content of the movie, and then finding out the statements which are

related to the formulation of the problems in this research. The weakness of this research

is not explain especially about main character.

The Second research is conducted by (Yohanes Truman AM, Singgih Daru

Kuncara, 2017) entitled “ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN CHARACTER NEEDS ON LIFE OF

PI MOVIE USING MASLOW’S THEORY”. The purpose of the study was to analysis the

Hierarchy of needs manifested in the main character. This research used descriptive

qualitative method. This research uses Maslow’s theory it is appropriate theory for this

research. The result of this research is Life of Pi movie told about the main character’s life

before and after shipwreck. The movie was showing about Piscine, when he was a child

until he tried to survive in the middle of pacific because of the shipwreck. Furthermore,

the main character also believes, if he wants to survive he must watchful to the Bengal

Tiger. In his efforts to survive, the main character must fulfill his needs. Therefore, I use

Hierarchy of Needs theory by Abraham Harold Maslow to classify the main character

needs for survive. I also analyze the process of the main character in fulfilling the needs.

I also identify some of the main character's behaviors, thought or feeling and some

description about him that represent his needs. The weakness of this research is not

explain what kind of the main character.

The Third research is conducted by (Dianty, 2017) entitled “AN ANALYSIS OF

ILLOCUTIONARY ACTS PERFORMED BY MAIN CHARACTER IN DIVERGENT

59
MOVIE”. This research uses descriptive qualitative research method. The objective of the

researcher is to find out the type of illocutionary acts are performed by main characters

utterance, and to find out dominantly of type of illocutionary acts are used by the main

characters utterance. The result of the analysis, the researcher found the answer of the

researcher problem. The researcher finds that Beatrice (Tris) the main character use all

types of illocutionary acts. First representatives there are Asserting (10), denying (1),

notifying (7), stating (10), predicting (2), directives ordering (2), forbidding (2),

commanding (9), requesting (3), commissives vowing (1), exprenssives condoling (1),

deploring (2), apologizing (1), thanking (1), declaratives naming (2), declare (1) . The

weakness of the research, the researcher does not explain who the main character in the

movie.

Based on the previous research above, it can be concluded that there are

similarities with this research study related to this research which analyze the main

characters in movie. The difference from previous studies is the object of the research. It

is the main character in this study. Where it is focused on Analysis of the main character

in Beauty and The Beast movie. The strength of this research is the data presented in

tabular form, so that it is easy to understand and not only discusses the main character

but also discusses what kinds of characters and using Paul costa and Robert McCrae

theory. While, the previous research only classified into four type out of five, and explained

by the behavior and dialogue in Cinderella movie, only Maslow’s theory it is appropriate

theory for this research, and explain about type of illocutionary acts.

Based on the definition above, it can be concluded that analysis is an activity

consisting of a series of activities such as parse, distinguish, and sort things to be

regrouped according to certain criteria and then look for the relationship and then

interpret the meaning.

According to Sirwan & Yulia (2017) Analysis is a thinking activity for

decompose a whole into components so that it can recognize the sign of the

components, their relationship to each other and their respective functions in one

60
unified whole. In addition Gunawan & Helmie (2019) in linguistics, analysis is study

of about language to examine in depth the structure of the language. Analysis can

be interpreted as a study carried out on a language in order to examine the structure

of that language in depth. According to Widyowati (2019) Analysis is an investigative

effort to see, observe, knowing, discovering, understanding, studying, classifying,

and exploring to interpret existing phenomena.

A movie could not be formed without a story in it. It also happens in a story,

the story could not be called as a story without any characters in it.

According to James Caplin in Dzulkifli (2016:90) in (Huda, 2017) Character is

quality or nature that remains constant and external that can be a to identify a person,

an object or event. According to Kusumawati (2013) “Character is the most obvious

form of literary representation of an individual within a larger imaginary situation.” In

addition to Thamrin & Wargika (2013) Character are the inner self of human being

that can appear of their representation.

Based on definition above, the researcher concludes that character is a

person on literary work. Character in literature is an extended verbal representation

of human being, specifically the inner self that determines though, speech and

behavior. Though, dialogue, action, and commentary, literature makes these

interaction interesting by portraying character who are worth caring about, rooting for

and even loving, although there are also character whom public may laugh, dislike or

even hate.

In the movie, usually the author will present several character for the reader

that will appear in the movie when the reader reads the entire story of the movie.

However, all the characters shown by the author of the movie have different

function and roles for each character.

According in Nugiyanto (2013) in (Yohanes Truman AM, Singgih Daru

Kuncara, 2017) the main character is the figure whose story is prioritized in a literary

work in question. Because that is the most widely told character, both as the

61
 perpetrators of events and those subject to events. According to Dwita & Prasetyo

(2018) “Main character are the persons who have various relationship with

characters, and the main characters are the persons who influence the plot most, and

they are the theme builder. According to Kartina & Pangestu (2018)The main

character can be said the key to the success above, because the main character is

the figure that became central in the story and also helped by some supporting role

so that the story can be more perfect.

Based on the definition above, the success of a movie cannot be separated

from the leading role or known as the main character, because can always be the

main focus and the most attention to the audience.

Kind of Character

1. The Major Character

A major character is a character that is more dominant or more prominent, a

character that appears more often in movie. According to Klarer (2004) :

b. Protagonist
c. Antagonist
2. The Minor Character.

Minor character are characters that don’t take precedence and are usually only

used to support the role of major characters. According to Klarer (2004) :

a. Static
b. Dynamic
c. Flat
d. Round
Based on the definition above. It can be concluded that movie has many

benefit. Watching a movie can be for entertainment, because movies become a media

that is able to provide entertainment for the public in general and then the movie can

also be a teacher because it can give a huge influence on the audience through the

message contained in it.

62
 According to Dwita & Prasetyo (2018) Movie is a communication medium that

gives valuable messages to audience. Movie has a storyline with interesting words

that make this medium to be very important in human existence. Based on Arfani

(2018) in (Kartina & Pangestu, 2018) “ Movie is a form of entertainment that enacts

a story by sound and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous

movement.” It means movie is able to tell a lot tell a lot in a short time only with

picture and sounds, when watching a movie the audience seems to be able to enter

the story.

C. METHODOLOGY

According to Creswell (2012:16) in (Darul & Lamongan, 2017) Qualitative research is best

suited to address a research problem in which do not know the variables and need to

explore. The literature might yield little information about the phenomenon of study, and

you need to learn more from participants through exploration. In qualitative study, the

literature serves a slightly different purpose and the researcher uses the literature to

support the findings.

In this research, the researcher uses descriptive qualitative method. This

research is categorized as qualitative research because the researcher presents the

data by describing the data based on main character. Qualitative research is a kind of

research result founds which can’t be got through statistical procedure.

According to Mukhtar (2013) in (Sasmita & Hardiah, 2018) instrument is a tool

of direct observation, because all sense of researcher is essentially a tool of

observation.

However, the researcher uses supporting instruments namely documentation and

tabulation. The researcher collected the data that appropriate for this research. This

research uses some of the data collection using documentation and tabulation. There

are 3 step of the Data Analysis Technique for qualitative research in (Yohanes Truman
