Abstract

The study aims to investigate the attitude and character development in the novel “Ayesha at Last,” which portrays the character development experienced by one of the main characters, Khalid. There are two research problems to be discussed and analyzed in this study: (1) How is Khalid’s characterization before knowing Ayesha depicted in the novel? (2) How is Khalid’s characterization after knowing Ayesha depicted in the novel? This study uses a qualitative approach to analyze and elaborate on the portrayal of Khalid’s characterization and attitudes. Through the novel’s narration, a descriptive study in the textual analysis was applied to analyze the characterization and attitudes of one of the main characters, Khalid. The data were collected by first applying the “close reading” method, then collecting in the data table. Data was then analyzed by identifying and categorizing the attitudes of the character Khalid described in the narration by applying suitable categories in the appropriate text. Furthermore, the analysis is further detailed by identifying the characters’ influential perspectives and actions that influenced Khalid’s attitudes in the novel. Finally, the development of character experienced by Khalid was identified by looking at the change in description of Khalid’s characterization. This study reveals that Khalid’s characterization through his attitude is depicted in two categories: his indecisiveness and inadaptability and being challenged by the character Ayesha’s perspective, which began to influence Khalid. All those influential factors contributed to Khalid’s character development. By meeting and conversing with Ayesha, Khalid gradually became a better version of himself, marking his character development through his attitude. Moreover, Khalid’s character development is marked by decisiveness and adaptability.
