Library's collection Library's IT development CancelElmer Rice?s play Dream Girl reveals the condition of woman who
experiences failure in love. The main character in this play, Georgina, is described
as a woman who has problems in her love life. Georgina falls in love with her
brother-in-law. Thus, her failure influences her life that turn to her inner conflict.
Therefore, in this study, I want to analyze the effects of her failure in love and
fantasy becomes her way to escape from the reality. By employing
characterization and conflict as the literary tools, I may recognize Georgina?s
personalities and her inner conflicts. Also, by using other theory such as the
concept of fantasy, I would relate them to Georgina?s fantasy as her way to
escape. From the analysis, I find out that Georgina?s failure in love gives effects
to her life, they are: she lacks appreciating in life, becoming negative thinking
about life, having emotional problem, fear of loving, making her distrust of love
to the men, and having no concentration in her career. . Then, she tries to escape
by using fantasy. She often elaborates daydream which is in contradiction with the
reality. By using fantasy, she gets temporary satisfaction in seeking solution. It
means that she uses her fantasy as her way to escape from the reality. Instead, she
is involved in her own fantasy.
