CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Love is more than a feeling. It is also a
motivational force that compels us to do an action. The experience of
love is unique for every person, and one might use that feeling to
measure the success of a relationship. Love is fuelled by a mixture of
sexual attraction and gratification, the security of the developing
attachment, and excitement due to exploration of human being. The sexual
attraction wanes, lead to the conflict and withdrawal. Lovers can find
themselves securely attached and caring deeply about each other or
experiencing some forms of distress, boredom, loneliness or
hostility and yearning for a more satisfying relationship.
"I love you" with a feeling is
essential. The ability to express those words in a nonsexual context
to men, women and children is a good indicator of emotional
health. To be able to love men, women and children is part of being
healthy adults. Love is a passionate
spiritual-emotional-sexual attachment between a man and a woman that
reflects a high regard for the value of each other’s person. It is a
way not only to feel the extraordinary joy but also to experience
self-discovery.
Love might be the conceptualized as an
attachment-formation process. Hazan and Shaver (1987:9) state “love
is the attachment system in human undergoes modification during
the course of adolescence, so that its original objects, the
parents are relinquished, and the individual is able to integrate new
objects, new attachment figures.” The attachment system is just one
among a number of interrelated behavioral system which include
exploration, care giving, sexual mating and affiliation.
No one knows what the real meaning of
love is. Everyone has his/her own meaning depending on his/her point of
view. Love brings spirit for everyone. Besides positive motivation, love
also can give negative motivation. Sometimes someone who falls in love
will act illogically. He/she will do anything to make his/her partner
happy, even though it is beyond imagination. Happiness, sadness,
worries, and jealousy are parts of love. Love is all you need, and you
will not know, across the crowded world or even on a first
date, that the person is absolutely the one.
Love can be used as the object of
psychological analysis. “Psychology is a science that studies living
being’s behavior and mental processes” (Herrnstein as quoted by Crider,
1983:4). This is in line with what Jung states as quoted by
Koesnosoebroto (1988) that it is absolute that psychology can
be applied in analyzing literary work, since human’s psyche has
potential power of all knowledge and arts. Thereby, literature and
psychology are really inseparable. Psychology explains the underlying
reason for character’s behavior elaborates between conflict and
psychological condition and evaluates their behavior and motive in doing
something.
There are some fields of basic
psychology, one of them is motivation. Motivation is an area of
psychology that has gotten a great deal of attention.
Kenney (1996:36-37) states that “general motivation covers such basic human drives as love, hunger, greed and so on.”
Love becomes the most interesting story
for all people. So many literary works tell about love. The story about
love is described in songs, poems, short stories, dramas, novels, films
and even paintings. One of the most dramatic love stories is Nathaniel
Hawthorne’s short story entitled “Rappacini’s Daughter”. The story tells
about a dramatic love and its motivation to the main character’s life.
The writer thinks that the story will be interesting to be analyzed.
