Library's collection Library's IT development CancelThe study discusses Jane Austen?s novel, Mansfield Park. It is about the
problems faced by the main female character, Fanny Price and her efforts to
overcome them related to her love relationship. In analyzing the novel, I use
literary theories, that is characterization and conflict and psychological concept
that is self-concept. Characterization is useful to analyze Fanny Price?s problems
and her efforts to overcome her problems as the main female character in the
novel. While theory of conflict is useful to analyze inner and outer conflicts that
she faces. Fanny?s efforts appear because she wants to reach happiness and
indirectly this will help her poor family from miserable life to raise the social
status. The psychological concept of self-concept is used to analyze Fanny Price?s
negative self-concept that causes her inability to express her love and how she
builds her positive self-concept, to express her love. She does some efforts to
overcome the problems. In addition, she also experiences conflicts. She
experiences inner conflict when she has to choose between Henry and Edmund,
while her outer conflict is when she is forced to accept Henry?s love by her
families and makes her confused. Her true love Edmund, whose she thinks as the
right man for her, finally proposes her. Then, she lives happily in her marriage.
