CHAPTER II
ANALYSIS I
Character is a vital and necessary one. Without character there would be no plot and , hence , no story. For most readers of fiction the primary attraction lies in the characters, in the endlessly fascinating collection of men and women whose experience and adventures in life form the basis of the plots of the novels and stories in which they appear.
Part of the fascination with the characters of fiction is that we come to know them so well , perhaps at times to well. In real life we come to know people for the most part only on the basis of externals on the basis of what they say and what they do the essential complexity of their inner lives can only be inferred , if at all , after years of close acquaintance. Fiction , on the other hand , often provides us with direct and immediate access to that inner life to the intellectual , emotional , and moral complexities of human personality that lie beneath and surface.
The character of mary panton is good , pretty , good smile , frighten , but selfish and need the love.
ANALYSIS II
Psychology is come from word “ psyche” it means soul and logos is science or the scientific study of the behaviour of human beings or the scientific study of the human psyche.
Psychology approach is way to analyze one or some character in novel with theory as a size. Absolutely psychology approach is real not refuse . because analyze without psychology approach it is just reading comprehension or practical reading. This reading method is common to do in class. Reader can be understand about the story but is not more just reading on beginning not furthermore.
Reader understand about the cast , setting , and also everything problems is caster get or story. But just explanation text of novel . reader can make synopsis , but when the synopsis read by other , that novel not more just summary of story based on text. It can be show the external of outside text.
Analysis doing , is a next step to read critically , not more doing unstep or irrasional. Although fiction text but is the analysis basic standing. Fiction still is picture of huge experience of human inside is happen psychology , sociologys , and other situation. Is a analysis duty to showing experience of reader to different way of analysis is rational with see to approach. Its true what Wellek said when tells this case , case of literature study :
“He must translate his experience of literature into intellectual terms , assimilate , it to a coherence scheme which must be rational if it is to be a knowledge. It may be true that the subject matter of his study is irrational or at least contains strongly unrational elements , but he will be not therefore in any other position than the historian of painting or the musicologist or , for that matter , the sociologist or the anatomist. (1949:3) . “
Psychology approach consist of two Extrinsic and intrinsic , extrinsic is the outside factor is causes character become like that and the intrinsic is the inside factor , may be the causes is the psyhcis. But this situation suitable with social theory.

This dialog remind if mary is an apple to edgar , he always loves mary in his whole life.
“Oh , Edgar , what nonsense you talk . “
“ Never “, cried Mary , not quite truthfully .”
“Perhaps Mattie and I were too young to marry .”
“ And how many women have you said that to ?”
“ I suppose it doesn’t . but we’ll leave it at that shall we ?”
“ people have been telling me I was beautiful since I was sixteen and it’s ceased to excite me very much. It’s an asset and I should be a fool not to know its value . it has it’s disadavantage as well.”
