THE SENSE OF GUILT ON CREASY AS A CHARACTER IN QUINNELL’S MAN ON FIRE

This thesis attempts to analyze A.J. Quinnell’s novel entitled Man on Fire. This novel tells about an ex-merchenary named Creasy who experiences sense of guilt which changes his character. This thesis concerns on analyzing Creasy character and his guilt. The aims of this thesis are to learn about the main character, Creasy and to reveal his personality and behaviour which is affected by his guilt. Therefore, this thesis can provide some explanations toward the guilt on Creasy, including the cause of his guilt, and how the guilt changes him. Through psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud, about the three models of psyche, id, ego, and superego, this thesis tries to reveal what caused Creasy’s guilt and how the guilt changes him. On the other side, new criticism theory, which is focusing on round character, helps the analysis to uncover the personality and behavior of Creasy.
Keywords: Guilt, Id, Ego, Superego, and Round Character.
