INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of Study
Literature is an expression of human’s feelings, thought, experience, and
social fact. It is appropriate with the following opinion. According to Warren
and Wellek (107), literature is the form of human creativity consisting idiom,
idea, feeling, spirit, and experience using the language as the media and
having positive impact to life. Long states that literature is one of the
methods to apprehend the whole world through our imagination. Thus,
literature is expression of human imagination, thought, emotions, experience
poured into beautiful words (Long: 8).
Further, literature constitutes a reflection of life fact. Literary work can be
used as the reflection or condition when and where the literary work was
made. According to Edward H. Jones. Jr (1) literature is simply another way
we can experience the world around us through our imagination. It means
literature gets from human daily life or portrait of human life and imagination
or in accordance with thoughts and experiences. By creating literary work the
author can entertain people and make the reader enjoy the story. Besides,

There are many kinds of literary works, such as novel, drama, poetry, and

Usually it is containing about forty five thousand words or more. Novel also
expresses several aspect of human’s love and existence because novel tells
about activities of human and tells about what happened in surrounding
(Kenney, 103).
According to Sora, novel usually tells about human life in their
interaction with the environment and each other. In a novel, the author
usually makes every effort to direct the reader to the various descriptions of
the reality of life through the story contained in the novel.

technology on people. Thus, Science Fiction is fiction that describes the
Zumaroh
must be set in contrast to a society significantly different from our own
usually, but not necessarily, because of some modification in the level of
science and technology or it is not a science fiction story.

Dystopian is genres of literature that explore social and political
structures. Thus, dystopian is a futuristic, imagined universe in which
oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained
through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control.
<http://www.readwritethink.org>
Romance is type of genre fiction place their primary focus on the
relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an
emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.Thus, romance is a literary
genre that focuses on the romantic relationship between the hero and the
heroine.<http://www.bookcountry.com>

Veronica Roth is the author of numerous bestselling novels, including the
one of New York time best seller,Allegiant. Veronica Roth was born on
Zumaroh
She was the youngest of three children. Her parents divorced when she was
five years old. She grew up in Barrington because her mother, Barbara Ross
was a painter who resided in Barrington. Roth graduated from Barrington

Allegiant.Veronica Roth’s novels won Favorite Young Adult Fantasy &
Science fiction and author of 2012 in 2012’s GoodreadsChoice
Awards.<http://www.britannica.com>
Allegiant is a masterpiece of trilogy divergent.Allegiantis the deadly of
Divergentseries, becauseAllegiantreveal the secret that is hidden and does
not explore inDivergentandInsurgent.
In the first series, Divergent, have a lot of telling about faction system
applied there. Faction system is system of government, which is classifying
society based on their personality. Society is divided into five factions, each
dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue. There are Candor (the
honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the
peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the
faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the
decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is she
can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including
Zumaroh
struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made.
And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her
seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save
those she loves or it might destroy her.
The second series,Insurgentis for create reconciliation, for saving
Chicago society without care their faction. In this series more explore about
loyalty, coming of treason, and credibility. Tris and Four are hunted by
Jeanine the leader of the power-hungry erudite elite. Her mission Jeanine
Matthews, Erudite leader is kidnapping divergent and using them to discover
a secret that she believes will destroy the divergent. Tris and Four lead the
divergent outcast against Erudite, but this time they must form an alliance
with various factions in order to defeat Erudite. Racing against time, they
must find out what Tris’s family sacrificed their lives to protect, and why the
erudite leaders will do anything to stop them. Haunted by her past choices but
desperate to protect the ones she loves. Tris, with Four at her side, faces one
impossible challenge after another as they unlock the truth about the past and
ultimately the future of their world because Tris is the one and only believed
to hold the key to this mystery (reveal a box secret).
Meanwhile, the last series,Allegiantreveal the riddle of the first and the
second series.Allegiantanswer the riddle of divergent. It reveals a secret of
faction system fabrication, and also clears about the reason and the aims of it.
Allegianttell clearly about divergent character as complete as possible that
Zumaroh
Allegiant starts from the jailed of the main character and her friend
because they take pains to reveal the Edith Prior video to citizen. It is reputed
as criminal action. The video tells about the truth of faction system and tell
that any civilization in the outside of the city and invite everybody to stay
there. The video make some citizen still believe in faction system and also
reject to live without faction system by Evelyn as the leader of the city.
Afterwards, emerging the new faction namelyAllegiantby Johanna
Reyes. The main character and her friend free from the jail because they
proved not guilty. They are chosen by Johanna Reyes to wander into outside
of the city to reveal the truth of the video and to reveal what the meaning of it
including what happened behind this incident. Finally the main character
goes outside of the city and finds life there, namelyBureau Of Genetic
Welfare.Finally the main character knows about inhumanity acted by David
to get Pure genetic from the city. David use the city as trial city to make pure
genetic but with inhumanity way. Than the main character struggles against
inhumanity although she must lose her life.
Related to this research, the writer makes analysis in the main character’s
struggle against inhumanity. Inhumanity here is the conflict that must be
finished by the main character, she fights to the death. Because main
character is the most important part in the story and appears continually from
the beginning until the end of the story which makes it occupy the central
position in the story. The writer also discussed about the main character
Zumaroh
character against atrocity until she died. The novel was chosen because it
brings a lot of meaningful knowledge of life. It shows that the character’s life
is meaningful, because she was a hero of the city. So, this novel told us about
help each other, care, and love motherland. Because she willing sacrifice for
save citizen in her motherland. This is the background as well as one reason
why this topic is analyzed in this study.
So in this case the researcher is interested in analyzing the main character
that has a divergent character inAllegiantnovel, with the title“Beatrice
Struggle Against Inhumanity in Veronica Roth Allegiant”.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED STUDY AND RELATED LITERATURE
This research data is analyzed using some theories. The writer explains
about the theories that are going to be used to analyze Beatrice as the main
character inAllegiant. In analyzing this object, the New Criticism which
discusses about character and characterization cannot be separated one another.
The researcher uses the theory of New Criticism to explain the character and to
find out the answer of the first statement of problem, and uses Theory of
psychology to analyze the second statement of problem.
2.1. New Criticism
American New Criticism emerges in the 1920s and especially becomes
dominant in the 1940s and 1950s. New Criticism is clearly characterized in
idea and practice. It means that new criticism does not focus on historical
contextual, biographical, intellectual and so on. It is focus on the text itself
(Selden: 18). So, new criticism pays attention to the draft of the literary works.
Literary work becomes an independent object description; it means that it does
not consider any external factors of the literary work itself.
Tyson says that new criticism is the main tools in analysis, and it is to
reveal the true meaning of a text based on the text itself. It means that new
criticism focuses on the story based on the text only in the novel, and it does
not need author’s background, the political issue at the time of a certain literary
Zumaroh
New criticism focuses its analysis on the literary text, instead of the
author’s life and time (Tyson 136). Further Tyson explains that new critics
believe that a literary text is sometimes more meaningful and complex than its
author intention. The text’s meaning could be dissimilar with the meaning
which is constructed by the author (137).
From Tyson’s starting point, the writer decides to explore the thesis
analysis by applying new criticism theory which is focused on the character
and characterization.
2.2. Character
Character is one of the basic components of a story. It always emerges in a
story as it is a must for the author creates to characters in their literary work. As
what Potter (1) says that characters are the basic elements in much of imaginative
literature, and therefore they merit the considerable attention which is paid to
them. It means that character is the important element of a certain literary work
that constructs the story.
According to Edgar V. Robert’s book,Writing Themes About Literature,
character in literature is an comprehensive verbal representation of human
being, the inside self that decides thought, speech, and behavior (65). So,
through dialogue, action, and suggests of the details of character’s personalities,
will help readers to analyze and make a conclusion about a character’s strength
Zumaroh
Generally, character is a comprehensive verbal representation of human
being and the inner self that determines speech, thought, and behavior. Through
dialogue and action, authors capture some of the interactions of character and
circumstance (Roberts :134). In a specific opinion, character can be defined as
any person, animal, or figure represented in a literary work.
Sometimes, the author raises a character in a story in the form of animal or
even a thing. Somehow, the animal or the thing which appear as the character in
the story will have a personality behavior, and attitude as human being has. It is
because the character is actually the symbol of human being include his attitude,
behavior, and personality of character which is understood by the readers. This
idea is also supported by Holman (81) which states that character is a
complicated term that includes the idea of the moral constitution of the human
personality, the presence of moral uprightness and the simpler idea of the
presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort or another.
Further, Abrams states in Nurgiyantoro (165) that character is a person that
is exposed in a story, which is understood by the readers, and it has a moral
quality and a certain tendencies signified by his/her speech and action.
From the definitions above, it can be concluded that character is a basic
element in a literary works. It is mostly presented in the form of creature such as
human being, animal, etc. Besides, it always has a specific moral quality and
Zumaroh
The presence of character in a certain literary works is a must due to a
reason that it is the basic element of literary work itself. Although literary works
likes novel always presents a character, many people get difficulty in
understanding the character. It is said by Perrine (83) that understanding
character is not easy. He said that character is much more complex. Anyone can
repeat what a person has done in a story, but significant skill may be needed to
describe what a person is (Perrine: 83). Therefore, character becomes the topics
chosen by the researcher that will be discussed in the next chapter. It is expected
that the writer's analysis toward character will ease other researcher in analyzing
a character in a literary work.
2.2.1. Kinds of Character
Furthermore,Roberts inLiterature. An Introduction to Reading and
Writingstate that there are two types of literary character: round and flat
characters. Round character is dynamic character. A dynamic character is one
who goes through some sort of change, they show character’s development. So,
Round character can be called energetic and forceful character. Round
characterless are both individual and unpredictable, and they are central to
literature. Meanwhile, flat character does not grow matter what happens. Flat
characters are not individual, but rather useful, and they are usually minor and
they were in the beginning, because they are not dynamic, but static.
On other hand, Kenney (46) says that characters are divided into two types,
Zumaroh
two traits. This kind of character be summarize in a sentences. A flat character
usually has only one outstanding trait or feature, or at most a few distinguishing
marks.
Otherwise, the round character is usually more realistic and complex and
shows a true depth of personality. Round character is portrayed in greater depth
and in more generous detail. It means that round characters play a big role in a
story rather than a flat character. Round characters live by their roundness, by
many topics at which they touch life (Perrine: 85).
Based on what Perrine says, it can be concluded that both round and flat
characters are needed to be presented in a literary work like novel to make a
good story. Although the round characters play a big role in developing a story,
they are lame and weak without the existence of the flat characters.
On the other hand, Nurgiyantoro (177) says that based on the significance role in
developing a story, character is divided into major and minor characters. Major or
main character refers to character which appears in almost all or totally in the
whole story. He or she is character which is mostly told and always related to
other characters. On the other hand, minor character is character which appears
only in some parts of the whole story and he or she is told less than major
character. Minor characters may exist just when they are having correlation
with the major characters.
Altenbernd and Lewis, state that based on the function, characters are divided
Zumaroh
main character who generates the action of a story and engages the reader's
interest and empathy. The protagonist is often the hero or heroine. The
protagonist is usually a well-developed character; in this way, he or she is more
relatable. Thus, the opposite of the protagonist is the antagonist. An antagonist
is a character who opposes the protagonist, he is a character which causes
conflict.
The protagonist is the major character with whom we generally
sympathize, while the antagonist is the character with whom the protagonist is
in conflict. The antagonist is generally not sympathetic (Stanford: 3).
2.3. Characterization
Richard in his bookMastering English Literaturestates that character
refers to a person in literary work, while characterization is refers to the way in
which a character is created (127). It means that reader can know the
personality of a person in a novel through his action and sayings or through
other people’s saying about him. In addition, characterization is the way the
author reveals the characters as imaginary persons and his creation of these
imaginary persons, so that they as lifelike for the readers.
However, each character has their own characteristics that are different
from the others. To present this thing, it needs a literary device to use. The
author has some styles to reveal the characters of unreal persons. They exist for
the reader as real within the limits of the fiction, and it is called as
Zumaroh
For instance, characterization is means by ways of an author presents and
reveals the characters’ personalities inside of creating the story. The writer or
narrator tells the reader what the character is like. The ability to characterize
people of one’s thoughts magnificently is a major characteristic of a good
novelist, dramatist, or short-story writer.
2.3.1. Kinds of Characterization
Commonly, in characterizing the characters, there are two ways that an
author usually uses. Those are direct and indirect characterization. Direct
characterization is used by an author in the narrative of work and includes
descriptions and comments that directly describe the nature and appearance of
a character. Using direct method means that the author describes directly about
the character.
Otherwise, indirect characterization occurs outside of the narrative and
usually includes dialogue, comments of others about a character, the actions of
a character, and his or her thoughts. In indirect method of characterization, an
author does not only tell the characters, but also showing them to the readers
through how the character is seen, what the character does, what the character
says, what the character thinks, and how the character affects other characters
(Baldick: 37). From those aspect, the reader can understand and get a clear
description of the character’s personality.
2.4. Psychoanalysis
Zumaroh
emergence, this theory invites a lot of controversy, exploration, analysis
and become a background for other genre that appears later (Lubis 141)
The writer intends to use organization of personality based on
personality structure by Freud. The organization consist three basic
concepts. They areid, egoandsuperego.
2.4.1. Theid
The termidfrom Latin “it,” this division of the mind includes our
basic instincts, inborn dispositions, and animalistic urges. Freud said
that theidis totally unconscious, that we are unaware of its workings.
Theidis not rational; it imagines, dreams, and invents things to get us
what we want. Freud said that theidoperates according to the pleasure
principle—it aims toward pleasurable things and away from painful
things. Theidaims to satisfy our biological urges and drives. It includes
feelings of hunger, thirst, sex, and other natural body desires aimed at
deriving pleasure. <http://wps.ablongman.com/>
Theidis the primitive and instinctive component of personality.
The characteristics of theidis working outside of human consciousness,
irrational, disorganized, pleasure oriented, primitive, play a role in
energy source of life and source of encouragement and a basic desire to
live and die. It consists of all the inherited components of personality,
including the sex and aggressive. Theidis commonly related to the
biological forces which seeks the pleasure. Theidcommonly used to
Zumaroh
pleasure or satisfaction (Hall 28).
Theidis a process of thinking, which is primitive, illogical,
irrational and fantasy oriented (Weiten 331). From that statement,id
can be represented as an impulse the human to get satisfaction without
thinking and using logic. It means the human is in form of unconscious.
The form ofidcan be like desires, instinct and other impulse.
Freud’s theory as a whole is also known as the theory of reduction
intension. To perform its functions,idhas two basic elements, namely
reflex movement and the primary process. For example, in a state
hungry baby’s mouth will immediately shut the mother’s nipple and
sucking the milk, or when a person’s eyes will be exposed to dust the
eye blink reflex, and so on. Nevertheless reflex, not always efficient in
relieving tension, so that the necessary process by which humans
formed image of the object that is useful for satisfying a basic need.
Shadowing process is called the primary process and has characteristic
illogical, irrational, cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. To
survive, a baby should be able to discern what fantasy is and what
reality is. (Hartono 4)
2.4.2. Theego
The termegofrom Greek and Latin for “I,” this personality
structure begins developing in childhood and can be interpreted as the
“self.” Theegois partly conscious and partly unconscious. Theego
Zumaroh
idget what it wants by judging the difference between real and
imaginary. If a person is hungry, the idmight begin to imagine food and
even dream about food. The id is not rational. Theego, however, will
try to determine how to get some real food. Theegohelps a person
satisfy needs through reality. <http://wps.ablongman.com/>
Egodeals with the reality principle. It means egorelates the
internal and external of human. It stimulates the growth, elaboration of
the psychological processes of perception, memory, thinking, and
action (Hall 29) human will act to fulfill the need of id. From the way
he acts, it result consequences from the way that human did.
2.4.3.Thesuperego
The termsuperegomeans “above the ego,” and includes the moral
ideas that a person learns within the family and society. Thesuperego
gives people feelings of pride when they do something correct (the ego
ideal) and feelings of guilt when they do something they consider to be
morally wrong (the conscience). Thesuperego, like the ego, is partly
conscious and partly unconscious. Thesuperegois a child’s moral
barometer, and it creates feelings of pride and guilt according to the
beliefs that have been learned within the family and the culture.
<http://wps.ablongman.com/>
The id presses the ego to fulfill the need, and then ego balance the
need with the rule of moral society.Egomust think which one is
Zumaroh
simple example of the superego can be seen in the human when he
is in attempt to steal something, like purse. The way he acts is to
fulfill the desire to get some money. But in other side he knows
that is not good (based on the society, stealing is bad moral). His
act leaves the guilty feeling (Hall 32)
2.5. Review of Related Study
A review of related studies is needed, because it is to justify
that whether or not a literary work has not been used by applying
a close-fitting approach which is comparable with another research.
A review of literature is very significant. It is intended to
distinguish a previous research with a new one in order to assure
its originality. Therefore, this part of chapter would like to being
the discussion into the description of related previous research
which still concern with this research. Thus , there are some related
studies about this researchBeatrice Struggle Against Inhumanity In
Veronica Roth’s Novel Allegiant.
The first related studies comes from Faridatul Bahiyah, the
student of State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya
(2015). Who writes her thesis entitledThe Effect of Traumatic
Experience on miss Havisham in Charles Dickens’ Great
Expectation.In her research, is focused on reveals the mental
condition of Miss Havisham by using personality structure of
Zumaroh
The second researcher is Aminatuz Zuhriyah, the student of
State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya (2014). Who
wrote her thesis entitledPI’s Loooking for God in Yann Martel’s
Life of PI: An Islamic perspective.In her research, she focuss on
analysis Pi’s life and Pi’s effort to endure his problem in looking
for God, that analysis use psychoanalysis theory. There are three
personality systems in analyzing Pi’s journey in looking for God,
they areid, ego, superego.
Similar to that previous research, this research also used
psychoanalysis. This study also uses personality structure by Freud.
They areid, egoandsuperego. The difference between this study
and the two previous studies is that this research does not use the
same data or novel. But, it pays attention to the main character’s
personality system. Thus, the writer intends to use New Criticism
Zumaroh
CHAPTER III ANALYSIS
In this chapter, the writer analyzes according to the statement of
the problem. The first part is about the characterization of Beatrice, the
researcher tries to analyze characterization of Beatrice as the main
character based on Holman Theory as the basic description about the
character. The second is about the action of the main character, the
researcher focuses to analyze Beatrice’s action against inhumanity.
3.1. The characterization of Beatrice described in Veronica Roth’s
Allegiant
This part explains about Beatrice’s characterization. The story is
delivered using the first person point of view which Beatrice itself as the
narrator who narrates all the events, experience she has. She tells the
readers about what she does, speaks and thinks everything around her.
Things that she can also tell about are just limited to them that correlate
with her. So, Beatrice automatically becomes the main character because
she appears on the whole story from the beginning in the first series until
the end of the trilogy. Half of the story is told through Beatrice’s point of
view as what Nurgiyantoro said that main character is character that
always appears and dominates the whole story (176).
Furthermore Altenbernd and Lewis declared that in this type of
point of view in fiction, main character automatically becomes the
Zumaroh
really involved in. Readers give empathy totally to main actor (63).
Therefore, Beatrice also belongs to protagonist character that the writer
can really think her action against inhumanity.
Beatrice’s characterization is explained directly. Beatrice as the
narrator said that she is divergent. In the previous novel, divergent means
she has five factions in herself. Society is divided into five group based on
their characterization, namely ‘faction’. There are abnegation, dauntless,
candor, amity and erudite. Abnegation is a labeling of selfless person.
Thus, Dauntless is a labeling of brave character. Then, Candor is a labeling
of the honest person who fights for the truth. And then, Amity is a labeling
of the peaceful person. The last, Erudite is a labeling of intellectual person.
It can be seen from the quotation bellow,
"My ancestor, and this is the inheritance she passed to me: freedom
from thefactions, and the knowledge that my Divergent identity is
more important than I couldhave known. My existence is a signal that
we need to leave this city and offer our help towhoever is outside
it.”(Allegiant, 1)
"Divergent," Tris says to her, pointing at her own head.
“Remember?"(Allegiant,2)
From the quotation above Beatrice directly expresses her
characterization. Beatrice revealed herself that she is divergent. According
Zumaroh
which has good quality fulfilling the criteria of BUREAU OF GENETIC
WELFARE. A person who has pure gen is a human resource that is needed
for saving the world from a variety of problems. This is corroborated by
the statement below,
"'Divergent' is the name we decided to give to those who have
reached the desired level of genetic healing," says David. "We
wanted to make sure that the leaders of your city valued them. We
didn't expect the leader of Erudite to start hunting them down—or for
the Abnegation to even tell her what they were—and contrary to
what Edith Prior said, we never really intended for you to send a
Divergent army out to us. We don't, after all, truly need your help.
We just need your healed genes to remain intact and to be passed on to
future generations."(Allegint, 15)
Beatrice Characterization is influenced by many factors, including
transmission of genes, person’s parenting and experience. Beatrice’s
obviously influenced by genes, surrounding and also her experience. She
was born from abnegation family. So, her abnegation comes from
transmission of genes from her father. While, her father comes from
erudite family, Beatrice’s erudite may be transmission of genes from her
father's family. It can be seen from the quotation bellow,
“But Edith is an Abnegation name, and my father's relativesmust
Zumaroh
“I think of my father, a born Erudite, not Divergent; a man who
could not help but be smart, choosing Abnegation, engaging in a
lifelong struggle against his own nature, and ultimately fulfilling it. A
man warring with himself, just as I war with myself. “(Allegiant,15).
Beatrice’s obviously also influenced by person’s parenting.
Beatrice’s father and mother always teach and train her to care and
help others. It is always on her mind until she is adult. It can be seen
from the quotation bellow,
"My parents would want me to save him, though." Her eyes open
and lift to the sky. "They would say it's selfish to let someone die just
because they wronged you. Forgive, forgive, forgive."(Allegiant,9)
Thus, Beatrice obviously influenced by her experiences itself. Her
first experiences when she is childhood as abnegation, she learn to cares and
helps others. Then, when she is teenagers, she learns to be dauntless. Because
of on ceremonial choosing day, Beatrice decides to leave Abnegation and
join Dauntless. She becomes strong-wild and proven to be able to pass
dangerous. It is proven at the quotation bellow,
Christina, Tris, Tobias, Tori, Zeke, and Peter are my selections,"
Cara says. "You have all proven your skills to me in one way or
another, and it's for that reason that I'd like to ask you to come with
me outside the city. You are under no obligation to agree, of
Zumaroh
"But what we need right now are people with the skills to get out of
the city unscathed, and I think Dauntless training makes them highly
qualified for that task."(Allegiant, 8)
Beatrice wants to make his parents proud. Even though his parents
had died, she was still carrying out their orders. It is the result of the
success as a parents nurtures a child. A child who is educated with love
and be taught caring others will be good child. Because to be a leader must
work hard and caring is always sharpened. It can be seen from the quotation
bellow,
“And I want to make them proud of me. It's all I want."
“Her pale eyes are steady on mine, determined. I have never had
parents who set good examples, parents whose expectations were
worth living up to, but she did. I can see them within her, the courage
and the beauty they pressed into her like a hand-print.”(Allegiant, 9)
Beatrice has been a good person who always cares and helps others.
Moreover with her family, she is a very loving person. Both of her parents
were killed when the faction-less and the Dauntless took down Erudite and
overthrew the faction system. The family left today is only one brother.
Although her brother had been betrayed so many times, in her heart she
still love her brother. So she and her boyfriend plan to release her brother
Zumaroh
“But then I remember that Caleb is still there, because he was a
well-known lackey of Jeanine Matthews, and the factionless will
never exonerate him. But just how far they will go to destroy the mark
Jeanine Matthews left on this city, I don't know.I don't care, I think.
But even as I think it, I know it's a lie. He's still my
brother.”(Allegiant,3)
"I'll get him out of his cell. Tomorrow, before we leave." I nod. "I'll do
it."(Allegiant, 9)
Besides caring her family, Beatrice also cares for everyone who needs
help. Once she knows the news that the outside of the city limits there that
needed help, she determines to go to the outside of the city to help there. This
characterization is abnegation, it is excessive empathy. So, it makes her
unselfish. Beatrice sincerely helps others. Beatrice never hesitates to help
others. Even she was willing to sacrifice her life to save others. It can be
seen from the quotation bellow,
"I'm trying," I say, and it's true. I'm trying to trust him. But every
part of me,every fiber and every nerve, is straining toward freedom,
not just from this cell but from prison of the city beyond it.I need to
see what's outside thefence. (Allegiant,1)
Listen, I . . . I used to think about giving my life for things, but I
didn't understand what 'giving your life' really was until it was right
Zumaroh
Beatrice’s capability cannot be doubted. Dauntless teaches Beatrice to
adjust from the previous faction. From abnegation to dauntless she needs
struggle hard. Abnegation just teaches about caring and helping others, but
dauntless teaches her to be strong woman and she must learn to run, jump,
learn to shoot and fight. It can change Beatrice being strong and resilient
woman. She also leans to face dangerous situation, and she always clearly
passed it. Of course, sometimes Beatrice boasts her capabilities. As the
quotation bellow,
“The girl tests the situation in her mind, evaluating whether she
wants to fight me or not. I can practically hear what she's thinking—
I'm small, so I'm an easy target, but I'm Dauntless, so I'm not that easy
to beat. Maybe she knows that I've killed people, or maybe she just
doesn't want to get into trouble, but she's losing her nerve; I can tell by
the uncertain set of her mouth”. (Allegiant,7)
Thus, from the explanation above, it can be concluded that Beatrice
is the brave woman. It is caused by initiation of dauntless. Dauntless
teaches her to be strong and resilient character. It is also caused by her
strong intention to be success dauntless. She is always ready to face any
challenge, although it is dangerous. She is strong-willed woman. She is not
Zumaroh
"It doesn't matter," I say, more sternly than I mean to. "It doesn't
matter what's out there, we have to see it for ourselves. And then we'll
deal with itonce we have."(Allegiant,7)
Christina and I weave a complicated path through Erudite
headquarters onour way to the back staircase, avoiding patrolling
factionless. I pull my sleeve down over my wrist. I drew a map on
my arm before I left—I know how to get to Candor headquarters
from here, but I don't know the side streets that will keep us away
from prying factionless eyes.(Allegiant 8)
Besides that Beatrice is always curious.So that she getsnew experience
from her curiousness. Because of, the most valuable lesson is experience. She
always challenged to new experience and new knowledge. It can be seen as the
quotation bellow,
"Hey," I say. "You don't have to come, but I need to get out of here. I
need to know who Edith Prior was, and who's waiting for us outside
the fence, if anyone. I don't know why, but I need to."I take a deep
breath. I'm not sure where that swell of desperation came from, but
now that I've acknowledged it, it's impossible to ignore, like a living
thing has awakened from a long sleep inside me. It writhes in my
Zumaroh
Generally, all of people save her dignity. Anyone who has ridiculed
dignity will be angry and annoyed.Beatrice also like that, she is angry and
annoyed when someone ridiculed her. It can be seen as the below quotation,
"Hey!" I yell again, and this time the girl turns. She's much taller than
I am—a good six inches, in fact—but I'm only angry, not afraid.
"Back up," I say. "Back awayfrom him."
"He's in violation of the dress code. I'm well within my rights, and
I don't take ordersfrom faction lovers," she says, her eyes on the ink
creeping over my collarbone.
"Becks," the factionless boy beside her says. "That's the Prior video
girl."
The others look impressed, but the girl just sneers. "So?"
"So," I say, "I had to hurt a lot of people to get through Dauntless
initiation, and I'll do it to you, too, if I have to."(Allegiant,7)
3.2. The action of Beatrice against inhumanity
The second part of this discussion is about the action of Beatrice
against inhumanity. The researcher tries to analyze based on
psychoanalysis theory.
In this case, Beatrice action against inhumanity influenced by three
agent of personality, they areId, Ego, and Superego. This part is going to
Zumaroh
Beatrice’sEgo. The third is about Beatrice’sSuperego. It aims to know
what Beatrice desire and her choice to against inhumanity.
Inhumanity that discuss in this study is a program to resetting
citizen memory in Beatrice’s motherland. Finally Beatrice success
smashes memory serum in weapon lab. It means that she cancels resetting
memory in all of experiment city.So, Beatrice finished her mission to save
all of citizen in her motherland from resetting memory. If their memory
loses, their live will lose too, and Beatrice does not want it.She willing
dies to save their live.
Beatrice’sId
The action of Beatrice against inhumanity starts from Beatrice
understanding about David’s program. David is a bureau of genetic welfare’s
leader. As the following quotation,
“My name is David. As Zoe probably told you already, I am the
leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. I'm going to do my best to
explain things," David says.(Allegiant,15)
One day, Beatrice saves David from one of the bureau’s employees
attack. So, David impressed to her and chooses her to be favorite person. It
is the way to make easier her mission without mistrust. Because becoming
Davis’s favorite person, it will expedite her action. It can be seen at the
Zumaroh
“...I am the official leader of this compound, but apart from that,
we have a similar system of governance to the Abnegation, so I am
advised by a small group of councilors. I would like you to begin
training for that position."
."What . . ." I clear my throat. "What would training for that entail?"
"Attending our meetings, for one thing," he says, "and learning the
ins and outs of our compound—how we function, from top to bottom,
our history, our values, and so on. I can't allow you to be a part of the
council in any official capacity at such a young age, and there is a
track you must follow—assisting one of the current council
members—but I am inviting you to travel down the road, if you
would like to." (Allegiant, 32)
The opportunity to become a David favorite person is utilized by
Beatrice as good as possible. This is a golden opportunity, because it will
allow Beatrice to know the details of the David inhumanity program who
disregard the values of humanity. Following quotation runs that:
The councilors are probably the same people who authorized the
attack simulation and ensured that it was passed on to Jeanine at the
right time. And he wants me to sit among them, learn to become them.
Even though I can taste bile in the back of my mouth, I have no trouble
Zumaroh
"Of course," I say, and smile. "I would be honored."
If someone offers you an opportunity to get closer to your enemy,you
always take it. I know that without having learned it from anyone. He
must believe my smile, because hegrins.(Allegiant,32)
In the first meeting, Beatrice comes on time, excited and
enthusiastically to make David totally trust her. It is the next step, after
making David like her, she makes David really trust her. Without becoming
reliance people, she will never know David’s detail program. It can be seen
at the quotation bellow,
I ARRIVE AT David's office for my first council meeting just as my
watch shifts to ten, and hepushes himself into the hallway soon
afterward. He looks even paler than he did the last time I saw him,
and the dark circles under his eyes are pronounced, like bruises.
"Hello, Tris," he says. "Eager, are you? You're right on time."(allegiant
27)
The first Beatrice’s meeting with councilors discusses about David
program. At the time, she understands detail of David program and timing
to do it. According to Beatrice, David program is inhumanity, but based on
David opinion it is the one and only way to solve his problem. So that
Beatrice want to save her citizen from resetting memory. It means that
Beatrice have strong desire to does something to restrain David Program.
Zumaroh
"Quiet," says David. "The experiments are already in danger of being
shut down if we cannot prove to our superiors that we are capable of
controlling them. Another revolution in Chicago would only cement
their belief that this endeavor has outlived its usefulness—something
we cannot allow to happen if we want to continue to fight genetic
damage."
Somewhere behind David's exhausted, haggard expression is
something harder, stronger. I believe him. I believe that he will not
allow it to happen. (Allegiant,37)
In the first council’s meeting, David explains about ‘resetting’. David argues
that it is time to use the memory serum virus for a mass reset. Destroying someone’s
memory is inhuman action. Bureau does not care and ignore memory and feeling
of citizen. Since that time Beatrice knows detail of implementation of resetting. It
makes her desire be brust. It can be seen at the quotation bellow,
"It's time to use the memory serum virus for a mass reset," he says.
"And I think we should use it against all four experiments."
"'Resetting' is our word for widespread memory erasure," David says.
"It is what we do when the experiments that incorporate behavioral
modification are in danger of falling apart. We did it when we first
created each experiment that had a behavioral modification
Zumaroh
before yours." He gives me an odd smile. "Why did you think there
was so much physical devastation in the factionless sector? There
was an uprising, and we had to quell it as cleanly as possible."(37)
Beatrice’s Ego
After she knows about the dateline of resetting, Beatrice with her friends plans
to cancel it. They plan to smash memory serum virus in the Weapons Lab. As
parson said that the actor of social action is seen as the hunter of the goal. Beatrice as
the hunter of the goal “cancelled resetting memory” and she is the actor of this
action. It is the ego of Beatrice, because egodeals with the reality principle. It
meansegorelates the internal and external of human. It stimulates the growth,
elaboration of the psychological processes of perception, memory, thinking, and
action (Hall 29) human will act to fulfill the need of id. There is one of their
discussions about it,
"Wait," I say. "If the Bureau is going to load all of those planes with the
memory serum virus to reset the experiments, will there be any serum left to
use against the compound?"
"We'll have to get it first," Matthew says. "In less than forty-eight
hours."(Allegiant,39)
Firstly, they dig information about how to smash memory serum virus that is
in the Weapons Lab. They choose Nita as the interviewees, because she has
Zumaroh
She also evaluates her planning, because someone was failed to do it. So, she wants
to plan it carefully and perfectly. It can be seen at the quotation bellow,
Christina and I were supposed to talk to Reggie," Tobias says, "but I think,
given this new plan, we should talk to Nita instead."
"I think you're right," I say. "Let's go find out whereshe went
wrong."(Allegiant,39)
Beatrice visits Nita in the hospital. She wants to know about how to smash
memory serum virus in the Weapons Lab. Thus, about what equipment is needed
and how step by step to do it. It is theidof Beatrice. Theegois partly conscious
and partly unconscious. Theegooperates according to the reality principle; that is,
it attempts to help theidget what it wants by judging the difference between real
and imaginary. Because she wants to cancel resetting memory, she must to learn
the way to do it. So, Beatrice interrogates Nita, why Nita failed to enters in the
Weapons Lab. So, she will not do the same mistake like Nita. So, Beatrice can
make new plan to success. She tries to learn from Nita’s failed. It can be seen at
the following quotation,
"I need to know what the security is like. Is David the only person who
knows the pass code?"
"Not like . . . the only person ever," she says. "That would be stupid. His
Zumaroh
"Okay, then what's the backup security measure? The one that is activated if
you explode thedoors?"
She presses her lips together so they almost disappear, and stares at the
half-bodycast covering her. "It's the death serum," she says. "In aerosol
form, it's practically unstoppable. Even if you wear a clean suit or
something, it works its way ineventually. It just takes a little more time
thatway. That's what the lab reports said."
"So they just automatically kill anyone who makes their way into that room
without the pass code?" I say
"One more question," I say. "Say I do want to flirt with death. Where
do I get explosives to break through the doors?"
Reggie has the explosives," she says. "He can teach you how to use them, but
he's no good inaction, so for God's sake, don't bring him along unless you
feel like babysitting."
"Noted," I say.
"Tell him it will require twice as much firepower to get through those doors
than any others. They're extremely sturdy." (Allegiant,39)
After knowing that, Beatrice tells her friends about it. So, the next problem she
Zumaroh
the first step. So, all her friends follow her instruction. It can be seen at the quotation
below,
THE SMELL OF bleach tingles in my nose. I stand next to a mop in a
storage room in thebasement; I stand in the wake of what I just told
everyone, which is that whoever breaks into the Weapons Lab will be
going on a suicide mission. The death serum is unstoppable.
"The question is," Matthew says, "is this something we're willing to sacrifice
a life for."
"It's not just about revenge," I say. "It's not about what they did to the
Abnegation. It's about stopping them before they do something equally
bad to the people in all the experiments—about taking away their power to
control thousands of lives."
"It is worth it," Cara says. "One death, to save thousands of people from a
terrible fate?And cut the compound's power off at the knees, so to speak? Is it
even a question?"(Allegiant,41)
The discussion is still going on, Beatrice’s eyes shift from her friends,
Matthew and Cara, standing behind the table, to Tobias, to Christina, her arm slung
over a broom handle, and land on Caleb. After that Caleb feels, He must be the
volunteer to sacrifice. It can be seen as the following quotation,
"Everyone's staring at me," Caleb says. "Don't think I don't know it. I'm the
one who chose the wrong side, who worked with Jeanine Matthews; I'm
Zumaroh
But I see him steeling himself against this fate, and I know that I have to
bestrong enough, and good enough, if he is going to sacrifice himself for us
all.
I nod. "Yes," I choke out. "But that's not a good reason to do this."
"I have plenty of reasons," Caleb says. "I'll do it. Of course I
will."(Allegiant,41)
The finding of their discussion is choosing who the volunteer to sacrifice is. He is
Caleb. Beatrice’s brother. He offers himself because he wants Beatrice’s forgiveness.
After this Caleb prepare his self to do the sacrifice. He also practices using weapon.
Because needs more expertise to save himself until successto smash memory serum
virus in the Weapons Lab and to stop the Bureau from resetting the experiments. It
can be seen at the quotation bellow,
Matthew and Caleb stay behind to fit Caleb for the clean suit—the suit
that will keep him alive in the Weapons Lab long enough to set off the
memory serum virus (Allegiant, 41)
In practicing the using guns, Caleb is still stiff because previously he had
never used the weapon. Beatrice as the pioneer of this mission, she chooses Caleb
as the actor of the action. Beatrice knows the condition of the actor and she want
to change Caleb to be good attacker. He starts tries to use gun, skill to hold out in
frayed condition. Beatrice also gives him battle training. It can be seen at the
Zumaroh
I step back to watch Caleb try it. He has the right way of standing, the right
way of holding the gun, but he is rigid there, a statue with a gun in hand.
He sucks in a breath and holds it as he fires. This time the kickback doesn't
startle him as much, and the bullet nicks the top of the target.
"Good," I say again. "I think what you mostly need is to get comfortable
with it. You're very tense"
"Can you blame me?" he says. His voice trembles, but just at the end of each
word. He has the look of someone who is trapping terror inside. I watched
two classes of initiates with that expression, but none of them was ever facing
what Caleb is facing now.
I shake my head and say quietly, "Of course not. But you have to realize
that if you can't let that tension go tonight, you might not make it to the
Weapons Lab, and what good would that do anyone?"(Allegiant,42)
ThepreparationsofBeatrice’steamarealmostperfectly. CalebandMathewincreasingly
are conscientious because they did not want any mistake. Thus, Caleb did not
want his sacrifice to vain. He determined to succeed, so that he lingers at the
laboratory to ensure true steps and the activation code, this is the key of it. It can
be seen as the following quotation,
I know why Caleb wanted to come here: to make sure that he was giving
his life for a good reason. I don't blame him. There are no second chances
Zumaroh
"Tell me the activation code again," Matthew says. The activation code
will enable the memory serum weapon, and another button will deploy it
instantly. Matthew has made Caleb repeat them both every few minutes since
we got here.
I have no trouble memorizing sequences of numbers!" Caleb says.
"I don't doubt that. But we don't know what state of mind you'll be in
when the death serum begins to take its course, and these codes need to be
deeply ingrained."
Caleb flinches at the words "death serum." I stare at my shoes.
"080712," Caleb says. "And then I press the green button."
Right now Cara is spending some time with the people in the control room
so she can spike their beverages with peace serum and shut off the lights in
the compound while they're too drunk to notice, just like Nita and Tobias
did a few weeks ago. When she does that, we'll run for the Weapons Lab,
unseen by the cameras in the dark. (Allegiant, 45)
Evidently, the circumstance is beyond a doubt. Unexpectedly, bureau enabled
emergency lockdown procedure. It is to improve to security before launching
memory serum to all of experiments city. It happened so fast, so resetting cancellation
must do now. In this situation Beatrice as soon as possible takes decision to do their
Zumaroh
A voice speaks through the intercom in the corner. "Attention all
compound residents. Commence emergency lockdown procedure,
effective until five o'clock a.m. I repeat, commence emergency lockdown
procedure, effective until five o'clock a.m."
Caleb and I exchange an alarmed look. Matthew shoves the door open.
"Shit," he says. And then, louder: "Shit!"
"Emergency lockdown?" I say. "Is that the same as an attack drill?"
"Basically. It means we have to gonow,while there's still chaos in the
hallways and before they increase security," Matthew says.
"Why would they do this?" Caleb says.
"Could be they just want to increase security before releasing the viruses,"
Matthew says. "Or it could be that they figured out we're going to try
something —only, if they knew that, they probably would have come to
arrest us."(Allegiant, 45)
The situation is increasingly precarious. She with her brother, Caleb
directly does their purpose. They go to weapon lab. Unexpected and unplanned, all
occurred outside of the plan. Luckily, Beatrice accustoms to facing danger, so she
is always alert and agile in all conditions. It can be seen as the following quotation,
We move quickly, but not too quickly. The more security guards I see, the
Zumaroh
and explosives inside it, bounces against his lower back as we walk. People
are moving in all different directions, but soon, we will reach a hallway
that no one has any reason to walk down. (Allegiant, 47)
"I think something must have happened to Cara," Matthew says. "The lights
were supposed to be off by now."
I nod. I feel the gun digging into my back, disguised by my baggy shirt. I
had hoped that I wouldn't have to use it, but it seems that I will, and even
then it might not be enough to get us to the WeaponsLab.
I touch Caleb's arm, and Matthew's, stopping all three of us in the middle of
the hallway.
"I have an idea," I say. "We split up. Caleb and I will run to the lab, and
Matthew,cause somekind of diversion."
"A diversion?"
"You have a gun, don't you?" I say. "Fire into the air."He hesitates.
"Doit," I say through gritted teeth. (Allegiant,47)
Beatrice invites Caleb fled down the corridor, after Mathew distract
security guards. Beatrice was able to escape. The surge of victory was near.
Beatrice is already close to a weapons lab serum storage memory.
While, when Beatrice and Caleb are closer, the security guard finds them.
