character traits from being an immature woman to become a mature one
in her thesis. Thus, in order to analyze the change of Alice's character
traits, the thesis writer uses the theory of characterization and
psychological theory on maturity. As an immature woman, Alice
cannot accept the reality of her life and her family's condition. She
does not admit that she is a poor woman. She cannot accept the reality
both of her social economic condition and her low social status.
Besides, Alice Adams cannot overcome her disappointment and cannot
control her emotion well when she feels that her friends humiliate and
insult her. However, the bankruptcy of her father's business and her
failure to get Arthur's affection, make her think about her own future
and become a mature woman. She begins to accept the reality and
thinks realistically about her future by taking a stenography course in
Frincke Business College.
