dc.description.abstract | Robinson Crusoe is a novel written by Daniel Defoe telling about a story
of Robinson Crusoe’s life experiences in the three places such as in York, at sea
and in the islands. This article discusses about these places, particularly the last
place, and the events experienced by Crusoe that can influence his personality
change. Therefore, the qualitative research is done to know whether the setting
and the events undergone by him, as the main character, can change his
personality or not, by applying Murray’s theory of personality describing how
personality is formed. This theory employs three sets of determinants: group
membership, situational and constitutional. It is also applied the psychological
approach to analyze the main character’s personality and to find out the setting
and the events influencing his personality change.. The result of the research
proves that there has been close relation between setting and personality in which
setting and the events experienced by Crusoe during his life adventure in the
three places can influence the change of his personality. | en_US |
