A Study of humanity through the conflicts of the main character as seen in Graham Greene's our man in Havana

The thesis is a study of humanity of the main character in Graham
Greene's Our Man in Havana. The thesis writer is curious to know how the main
character's conflicts reveal his humanity. Furthermore, the thesis writer wants to
know whether his humanity is only for those he loves or to his enemies. In the
analysis, the thesis writer uses library research and analytical method through
literary approach; the literary theories used are theory of characterization and
conflicts. The analysis shows that at the beginning, Jim Wormold has his
humanity before he is recruited as a spy until he becomes a spy. His work as a
spy could not change his humanity toward strangers and his enemies besides
people whom he loves. When he has conflicts, both external and internal
conflicts, he is able to solve them even successfully reveals his humanity.
From the discussion, the thesis writer concludes that the main character, Jim
Wormold, is firm enough to bear all the conflicts in his life after he becomes a
spy. He even can win over the bad circumstances and his humanity remains
unshaken. This condition shows that througli the character of Jim Wormold, the
humanity is revealed.
