Abstract

This study aims to examine the development of Nora Seed's self-efficacy in the novel The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. The novel tells the journey of a 35-year-old woman named Nora Seed, who is in a world between life and death. This study focuses on demonstrating the increased self-efficacy of Nora Seed. Therefore, this study concentrates on two main research questions; (1) how is Nora Seed's behavior before her self-efficacy development portrayed in the novel, and (2) how is Nora Seed's behaviors after her self-efficacy development portrayed in the novel. This study uses a qualitative method. The use of description as the primary means to clarify the explanation of the analysis is also used in this study. Data was collected by reading the novel first, at least until the researcher got a mature understanding of the story, which in turn would start selecting and sorting the data to strengthen the analysis process later. The concept of self-efficacy is also applied in the analysis of this research, especially to the behaviors of Nora Seed before and after her self-efficacy development. New criticism that involves characters and characterizations is also applied as a theory to analyze the data. The researcher found descriptions of the behaviors of Nora Seed before and after her self-efficacy develop through narratives or details in The Midnight Library. The conclusion of this study reveals two significant changes in Nora Seed's behavior caused by the development of her self-efficacy. The researcher also found four primary sources of self-efficacy that influence the development of Nora Seed in the novel The Midnight Library. However, only three of the four sources felt that they were more encouraging for Nora Seed to make changes and developments. Two out of three sources lead to a significant effect on Nora's self-efficacy development. Nora Seed experienced a significant increase in self-efficacy after experiencing various experiences in the library at night. At first, Nora tends to approach a problem with desperation. However, over time, especially after experiencing the various experiences of life in the library late at night, Nora's way of making decisions and attitudes gradually changed.
