Library's collection Library's IT development CancelThe contents of The Good Woman of Setzuan?s drama essentially discuss
about a life of a woman who has an altruistic behavior with all her problems.
Through this study, the writer is curious to know why Shen Te as the main female
character has an altruistic behavior, how an altruistic behavior is revealed through
Shen Te and what the results of having that characteristic to her. Thus, this study
is conducted to uncover the issue of this drama. The purpose of this study is to
find out the causes and several effects of her altruistic behavior towards herself.
Therefore, to assists and enrich this study, the writer utilizes psychological
approach concerning altruistic behavior which emphasizes the background of
someone who has an altruistic behavior and theory of dissociative identity
disorder concerning split personality. Later, in my findings I conclude that there
are several causes that make Shen Te have an altruistic behavior which is being
helped by gods, being helped by unknown people and having a bad past by being
disappointed by her boyfriend. Also, in my findings I conclude that the effects of
her altruistic behavior that influence her life which are her feeling anxiety and her
dissociative identity disorder.
