2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The understanding of literary elements can be very helpful in analyzing literary work, for example, novel, drama and poetry. Literary elements can be classified into two categories. They are intrinsic and extrinsic elements.

Semi (1998:31) says, “the intrinsic element of a literary work includes elements which establish a literary work inside. The elements are theme, plot,

setting character and characterization and figure of speech.” Extrinsic element

refers to social condition in a society and psychological condition. In this paper the writer employs one of literary works especially novel to be analyzed. And she will employ several extrinsic elements to analyze the novel, namely mystic.

2.1 CHARACTERS

Character is a human being in the fiction who plays action in the novel. The character does the action like making conversations or doing activities. By understanding there would have been required as a manifestation of the human figure and his life to be told.

Karl (1967:238) defines that a character is interest in the very personal reason that we want to see how other people live, how they make decision and react to responsibility, how they pursue their goal.

Roberts (1983:54) says, “Character in a literary work is a representation of a human. Specifically, the quality was in him and that determine how humans act in a variety of conditions or attempt to deal with the surrounding environment”.

doubtful, very brave or scared, noisy or quiet, can be trusted or liked to lie, conscientious or careless, unreasonable or irritable, biased or unfair, or fraudulent blunt, "winner" or "loser" and so on.

The British novelist and critic E.M Forster, in his critical work Aspects of the Novel, calls the two major types “round” and “flat”.

The basic trait of round character is that it recognize, change with, or adjust to circumstances. The round character is usually the main figure in a stories profits from experience and undergoes a change or alteration, which may be shown in (1) an action and actions, (2) the realization of new strength and therefore the affirmation of previous decision, (3) the acceptance of a new condition, or (4) the discovery of unrecognized truth. ( Roberts,1995: 133).

Flat characters are minor (e.g. relative, acquaintance, functionaries), although not all minor character are necessarily flat. (Edgar,1995:134).

The Character (5) and (6) has informal meaning, while number (7) has formal meaning. Maxwell (2001) says, “Character is more than just words, but a choice that brings success. It is not a boon, but built little by little, with our thoughts, words, actions, habits, courage endeavor, and even formed from the difficulties of life”.

In National Conference on Character Building, Jakarta (2005), “Character has been defined as the inner disposition conductive to right conduct. It is a person’s collection of attitudes and habits which enable and facilitate moral action.

It is the foundation for all activity in the world; every task and every achievement bears the imprint of one character. Moreover, as we shall see, one result of attaining good character is that individuals are able to love others well and become more productive citizens. Good character is thus the foundation for all human endeavors.

2.2 CHARACTEROZATION

Every story has characterization which describes all about person or people character. There are many kinds of character and these all are different with each other. Collins Dictionary defines that characterization is the way how an author or an actor describes or shows what a character is like. Characterization also describes about the act of creating and developing a character.

Characterization consists of two types: Direct and Indirect Characterization. Direct characterization tells the reader what the personality of the character is. While, Indirect characterization shows the things that reveal what the personality is of the characters look like, does, and says as well as.
