characterization, theory of love, and theory of motivation. The approach of the
research is psychological approach which is used to analyze the Belle’s
behavior .
There are two findings that can be concluded from this research. The first
finding shows that Belle is a brave, smart, and creative woman. The second
finding is the meaning of Belle’s love to Beast. It is divided into surface meaning
and deeper meaning. The surface meaning of Belle’s love to Beast is a romantic
love. Romantic love is a love which only consists of intimacy and passion
component. The deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast is a spiritual love.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Study
Love is a little thing which has a big role in this life. Almost all aspects in
this world have relation with love. Love is also used as the standard in the level of
happiness. The more people get loved, the happier they will be. However, having
love especially true love is not easy. Sometimes, people have to struggle and
suffer in order to find their love. Some people define that love is blind and love
makes people do stupid and dangerous things as well as magnanimous and bold
things. Beauty and the Beast is one of the examples of love actions. The power of
love makes this story awesome and interesting. The way Belle as the most
beautiful girl in the village falls in love with Beast is the mystery which make the
audience interested with this love story.
Love is closely related to a relationship. It is related because love is
usually presented through a relationship. Having good relation is a goal in the
term of communication. It means that if someone wants to have a good relation or
relationship, they have to pay attention to the way they act to get attention and
feeling from other people. People can indicate the meaning of a language not only
from the diction of the language but also the intonations, expressions, and gestures
from the speaker itself. The term about the deeper meaning of someone’s feeling
and thought in communication to make better relation is related to the study of
literary.

Literature is a way to know about human feeling, creativity and
imaginative process (Wellek, 1971). Human senses and thoughts have a huge
effect in order to build a human feeling. According to Henkle (1997), “Literature
is to learn about other people, and the great advantage of literature is that we can
enter the lives of people” (p. 6). Human’s life is full of conflicts and some are
being so complicated. It would be interesting to learn about personality pattern,
self-concept and someone’s reaction in facing his or her problems. Literature has
three major generic divisions. The first is Poetry, the second is Prose, and the last
one is Play or Drama. Beauty and the Beast is included into play since it is a
script of movie play.
This research focuses on the meaning of Belle’s love to Beast as seen in
the script of Beauty and the Beast movie. The researcher choses this topic because
the part when the Beauty falls in love with Beast is the most interesting and
important part in this story. Beast is a cold-hearted human creature who has an
ugly face and look like a chimera (a mixture of several animals). He has the head
structure and horn of a buffalo, the arm and body of a bear, the eyebrows of a
gorilla, the jaws, teeth, and mane of lion, the tusks of a wild boar, and the legs and
tail of a wolf. While, Belle as the Beauty is an intelligent and undeniably beautiful
young woman whose traits are looked down upon in her small French village.
Therefore, the meaning of love done by Belle to Beast become something that is
quite interesting to be analyzed.
Beauty and the Beast is a unique love story. This story is unique because
unlike most other love stories which grow because of physical appearance, but in
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
3
the story, physical appearance does not work much. It also reinforced by the main
character in this story. Beast has two different significant side that represent
human behaviors in real life. He has an evil and cold-hearted side, but he also has
a nice and warm-hearted side. Belle also has good character and personality
which can inspire people or the reader to follow the way she acts. Hopefully,
Beast and Beauty can be an exponent for the readers in order to reflect how to
build a relationship. Thus, there are some moral values and lessons about life and
love from this movie script which make this research more meaningful for the
readers.
B. Research Questions
There are two research questions that become the main points in this
research. They are formulated as follows:
1. How is Belle described in the movie script of Beauty and the Beast?
2. What is the meaning of Belle’s love to the Beast?
C. Significance of the Study
The researcher expects that this research will be useful for the readers and
the researcher itself. For the readers, especially for the students in English
Language Education Study Program, they can deepen their understanding and
broaden their knowledge about life through a literary work. This research also
provides new vocabulary terms about literary works which is useful for their life.
For the researcher, this research is very useful to fulfill the requirements to obtain
the Sarjana Pendidikan degree in English Language Education. This research is
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
4
also meaningful to the researcher itself, because through this research, the
researcher can fulfill her curiosity by solving and answering the problem
formulation in this research. The researcher also expects that this research is going
to be useful for the future researchers who are interested and work in the similar
fields as a reference.
D. Definition of Terms
In order to help the readers understand this research and avoid
misperceptions, the researcher provides some terms which are used in this
research.
1. Love
According to Maslow (1943), love is a healthy affectionate relationship
between people that include the mutual trust. Love is also an emotion, but there
are more than simple feelings involved. People can experience love when they
find their fondness on something or someone else. Jim Al-Khalili as a theoretical
physicist and science writer wrote that love is a powerful neurological condition
like hunger or thirst, only more permanent (2012). Jim also stated that love is
blind or unconditional. That statement is in the sense that people have no control
over it, but then, that is not so surprising since love is basically chemistry.
2. Character
In literary, a character has an important role, especially in a novel or
movie. To make a story lively, a character in a story must be like actual human
beings. Character is a way of thinking and behaving that characterizes each
individual to live and work, within both the family, community, nation and state.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

According to Abram (1999), the meaning of character is “The persons represented
a dramatic or narrative work, who are interpreted by the readers as possessing
moral, intellectual, and emotional qualities by inferences from what person say
and their distinctive ways of saying it–the dialogue- and from what they do-the
action” (p. 46).
3. Meaning
The meaning of something is what it expresses or represents. In other
words, meaning is a value or content which presence in something. According to
Frederick (1964), “meaning is divided into two parts which are literal meaning
and deeper meaning” (p. 75). The literal meaning can be found clearly in the
movie script. The author wrote in the script and could be clearly understood by
reading the movie script. While, the deeper meaning is a meaning which has value
for every reader. The deeper meaning can be found implicitly by the researcher.
The researcher has to interpret the meaning by herself.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the researcher provides three main parts, namely review of
related studies, review of related theories, and theoretical framework. Review of
related studies is to review other related studies previously done on the same work
or topic. Review of related theories is the part to review the theories employed in
this research. Theoretical framework presents the specific theories to help the
researcher answers the research questions and find the correlation of related
theories.
A. Review of Related Study
In doing this research, the researcher needs to seek and explore related
studies previously done on the same topic as the references. There are some
studies which used Beauty and the Beast as the primary data. The researcher
reviewed two others studies from Stevens (2013) and Cassandra (2012).
The first research is a literature research done by Stevens (2013) from the
University of Southern Mississippi. Stevens analyzes the significant variations
from Madame De Beaumont’s La Belle Et La Bête in Disney’s Beauty and the
Beast. The story of Beauty and the Beast and La Belle Et La Bête are being the
primary data. This research locates and analyzes the alterations of characters from
Madame De Beaumont’s La Belle Et La Bête in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. In
order to conduct this research, Stevens compares and analyzes the five major
6
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
7
characters from the story, there are Father/Maurice, Beast, Beauty/Belle, Gaston,
and enchanted objects.
Firstly, Stevens compares only between two versions, Disney’s and
Beaumont’s. Afterwards, he also compared it with the Cocteau’s version as a
cinematic adaptation of Beaumont’s tale which does not compromise the strength
of development of its heroine and retains a bestial Beast. Based on Stevens
analysis, there are some differences between those three versions. Striking
differences are seen between Beaumont’s and Disney’s versions. It can be
explained by the statement from Stevens that “Cocteau’s film makes alterations to
Beaumont’s tale that Disney then expands on its film. Perhaps Disney borrows
many of the elements in Cocteau’s film as a way of paying homage to such a
milestone in cinematic achievement” (p. 34). Stevens also finds that Disney’s
shows less moral lesson that the two others version. Disney’s movies generally
attempt to combine entertainment and teaching of a moral lesson. It is reinforced
by the fact that Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is made in musical drama to make
the movie more entertaining. The researcher also agrees with the statement from
Stevens which says that this research is the only scholarly examination of the
significant alternation that Disney’s has made to Beaumont’s version and
Disney’s film. Nonetheless, not all studies are focused mainly on the character of
Belle, sometimes other characters like Beast, Gaston, or Maurice are interesting to
be discuss. The researcher also agrees with the statement from Stevens who states
that “Belle’s interest in books is not used to make her a more intelligent woman,
but, is instead a plot device manipulated by the scheming objects who want her to
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
8
fall in love with Beast” (p. 19). Furthermore, the researcher believes that it is a
way to make Belle can actualize herself, which leads her to fall in love with Beast.
The second related research comes from Cassandra (2012). Cassandra
conducts a pragmatic study which uses Beauty and the Beast movie script as the
primary data source. The research discusses the politeness uttered by the
characters in Beauty and the Beast movie script by using the politeness strategies
and pragmatic scales in their utterances. The research aims to prove that politeness
principle is applied in the utterances of Beauty and the Beast movie script. In the
finding, there are four classifications made based on the politeness strategies used
in the utterances of the characters in Beauty and the Beast movie script. There are
positive politeness, negative politeness, bald on-record, and off-record. Through
Cassandra’s research, how high and how low the politeness in every utterance can
affect the interaction between the addresser and addressee. In analyzing the
politeness in the characters of Beauty and the Beast movie script, Cassandra also
analyzes the politeness utterance which is done by Beast to Belle. In the result,
Beast’s utterance belongs to positive politeness. It means that their interaction
shows that they have good relation. From that statement, the researcher finds out
that the politeness which is done by Beast are also being one of the factors which
make Belle falls in love with him.
However, those two researches from Stevens and Cassandra are different
from the research that is conducted by the researcher. All the three researches
have the same primary data, that is the story of Beauty and the Beast, but they
have different focuses. The first research from Stevens analyzes the differences
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
9
between Madame De Beaumont’s La Belle Et La Bête and Disney’s Beauty and the
Beast. Then, the second research focuses on the politeness strategies which is
done by the characters in Beauty and the Beast movie script. While, in this
research, the researcher analyzes the meaning love from Belle to Beast.
B. Review of Related Theories
This section discusses five major theories that is used as a guideline in this
research. The five theories are theory of character and characterization, theory of
love, theory of motivation, and psychological approach.
1. Theory of Character
In literary work, characters have an important role, especially in a novel or
drama. To present the story lively, character in a drama must be like actual human
beings in order to make a good story. According to Rohrberger and Wood
(1971),“Characters are like human beings in real life. They have their own
personality and appearance, which make them different from one to another” (p.
20).
In addition, Abrams (1999) states that the definition of characters itself is
“the persons represented in a dramatic or narrative work, who are interpreted by
the reader as being endowed with particular moral, intellectual, and emotional
qualities by inferences from the persons say and their distinctive ways of saying it
-the dialogue- and from what they do- the action” (p. 33). The conversations and
the actions from each character in a story help the readers to understand and find
the hidden meanings of their actions.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
10
According to Henkle (1977), character is divided into two types, the major
character and the secondary character. Henkle states that “the major character is
the ones that are observed most often in the story and frequently appear in the
novel. The secondary character is the one that have only a limited function and
performance in the novel” (p. 92). The action from major character is a
determinant in the story line, and the secondary characters give effects to the
story.
2. Theory of Characterization
Characterization is a process when an author creates a character in a story.
Characterization has a very important role in literary work, especially in narrative
and dramatic work. For a deeper understanding to the ways of characterization,
Murphy (1972) in Understanding Unseen’s divides it into nine ways. They are
personal description, character as seen by another, speech, past life,
conversational of others, reactions, direct comment, thoughts, and mannerism (pp.
161-173). Here are short explanations of the nine ways of characterization:
a. Personal Description
Personal description is close to the physical appearance of characters to
introduce the character to the readers, such as the build, skin-color, hair, eyes, and
height with various adjectives that make the description more vivid.
b. Character as Seen by Another
The description of the person’s character based on the words and phrases
from another character’s view.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
11
c. Speech
The words or sentences which come from the person can determine the
person’s personality.
d. Past Life
The person’s past life sometime presented in the story to determine the
personality of the person. The person’s past life might influence her personality in
the present day.
e. Conversation of Others
The person’s character can be seen in the conversation of other characters
who say about the person.
f. Reactions
The person’s character can be seen in the way he/she solves the problem.
Her/his reactions are shown on some situation and events in the story.
g. Direct Comments
The author tells the reader directly what the character is like by giving
direct comments to the character.
h. Thoughts
The person’s thoughts might be different with the action that she/he really
does. Usually, the author gives the reader direct information of the person’s
thoughts.
i. Mannerism
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
12
Habits and behaviors done by the person show his/her real character to the
readers.
3. Theory of Love
Love is one of the famous things in the world. Maybe everyone knows
about love, but not everyone understands. There are some definitions from the
experts about what love is. Love is a feeling interest to others which guide a
person to make a decision in a relationship. Based on A Triangular Theory of
Love from Sternberg (1986), “love can be understood in terms of three
components that together can be viewed as forming the vertices of a triangle these
three components are intimacy, passion, and decision or commitment” (p. 119).
Each component manifests a different aspect of love. Here are the explanations
about the three components of love.
a. Intimacy
Intimacy refers to the feeling of closeness, connectedness, and blondeness
in loving relationships, as well as admiring and wanting to take care of the loved
one, and it can bring up warm feelings.
b. Passion
It refers to the drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, sexual
consummation, and related phenomena in a loving relationship.
c. Decision/commitment
It refers, in the short term, to the decision that one loves someone else, and
in the long term, the commitment to maintain that love. These two aspects of the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
13
decision/commitment component do not necessary go together, in that one can
decide to love someone without being committed to the love in the long term.
All of the components of love triangle have a relation. These components
are important parts of loving relationships. Their importance may differ from one
relationship to another. Indeed, different kinds of love can be generated by
limiting cases of different combinations of the components. The love triangle
consists the three components of love transforms into eight types of love.
Sternberg (1986) divides it into eight parts namely nonlove, liking, infatuated
love, empty love, romantic love, companionate love, fatuous love, and
consummate love. Here are the explanations:
a. Nonlove
Nonlove is a type of love which has no three components of love. It
characterizes the large majority of our personal relationships.
b. Liking
Liking is a type of love which only has the intimacy component. In this
type, there are no passion and commitment for a long period of time. This type of
love comes up in friendships. One feels boundedness toward the other, without
feeling or commitment.
c. Infatuate Love
Infatuate love is type of love which only has the passion component. In
this type, love can easily disappear because there are no commitment and
intimacy. Infatuated love is also called “love at first sight”.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
14
d. Empty Love
Empty love is a type of love which only has the commitment component.
In this type, there are no intimacy and passion. The commitment is only a strong
reason to maintain relationship.
e. Romantic Love
Romantic love is the type of love which has the intimacy and passion
components. Romantic lovers are bonded emotionally and physically. It can be
found in classic works of literature, such as Romeo and Juliet.
f. Companionate Love
Companionate love is the type of love which has the intimacy and
commitment components. It can be found in some marriages. They still have the
intimacy and commitment but the passion has gone out of the relationship.
g. Fatuous Love
Fatuous love is a type of love which has the passion and commitment
components. It can be associated with couple who meets on day X and marries the
next month.
h. Consummate Love
Consummate love is the type of love which has all of the components,
intimacy, passion, and commitment. It represents the ideal relationship toward
which many people strive but apparently few achieve. The example of
consummate love is parent’s love for their children.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

4. Theory of Motivation
There are some theories of motivation, but in this research, the researcher
uses the theories of motivation from Maslow (1943). The theory of motivation
from Maslow is called Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory which is based on the
human needs. Maslow classifies all human needs into a hierarchical manner from
the lower to the higher order. People are motivated to achieve certain needs and
that some needs take precedence over others. Physical survival is the most basic
need for people which motivate people behavior. Maslow identifies five levels in
his need hierarchy as shown in the picture below:
Figure 2.1 Maslow’s Need Hierarcy Theory
Maslow divides Need Hierarcy into five levels. From the lower to the
higher are physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs,
estem needs, and the higher level is self-actualization. The level of the need
hierarcy is arranged based on the level of difficulty to reach it. Here are the
explanations of five levels of need hirarcy.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
16
a. Physiological – It is the most basic needs for a person to survive. The need of
food, water, shelter, sleep and sex include into this level.
b. Safety – Safety or security needs include the desire for feeling safe, freedom
from fear and staying healthy.
c. Love/belongingness – This level refers to the social needs, relationship such as
friendships, romantic attachments, and families which lead the person to get
acceptance and involvement in social.
d. Esteem – The desires of having reputation and respect from others which lead
the person feeling confident. Maslow indicated that the need for respect or
reputation is the most important for children and adolescents
e. Self-actualisation – The desire to achieve everything or become everything one
is capable of becoming.
5. Psychological Approach
According to Kennedy and Gioia (2005), psychological approach is an
analysis which focuses on the of character’s motivation or behavior in the work.
Rohrberger and Wood (1971) state that “psychological approach assimilates
efforts to situate and demonstrate certain recurrent patterns. This approach is
widely recognized that the literary work form is a reference beyond itself, and it is
fundamentally symbolic” (p. 13). This approach also accommodates a better and
deeper understanding in analyzing the character’s behavior, struggle and
personality.
The aim of psychological approach folds in three natures. Foremost, the
objective of understanding behavior, that is by defining factors that combine the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
17
development and expression of behavior. Secondly, the psychologist striving to
develop procedure for the accurate prediction of behavior. Thirdly, psychology
aims at developing techniques that will permit the control of behavior. In this
research, the psychological approach will be applied to analyze the meaning of
Belle’s love to Beast as seen in the movie script of Beauty and the Beast.
C. Theoretical Framework
Theoretical framework is the guidance to analyze the script used in this
research. In this aspect, the researcher explains the used theories to answer the
formulated problems of this research. The theories are the theory of character and
characterization, the theory of love, theory of motivation, and psychological
approach.
First, the researcher uses the theory of character and characterization. The
theory of character and characterization is used by the researcher to describe
Belle’s character as the first research problem in this research. Second, the
researcher uses the theory of motivation, psychological approach, and the theory
of love to answer the second research problem. The researcher uses those theories
to find the surface and deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast as seen in the script
of Beauty and the Beast movie by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter consists of two parts. They are the object of the study and
approach of the study. The first part describes the movie and the focus of the
study which is related to the primary data of the research. The second part
discusses the use of critical approach in analyzing the movie script.
A. Object of the Study
The object of the study is a movie script of Beauty and the Beast written
by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. This screenplay has already been
adapted to the movie which was released in the United Stated on March 17, 2017.
This movie is a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film that was directed by
Bill Condon. This movie is based on Disney’s 1991 animated film of the same
title, which was an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s
eighteenth-century fairy tale.
Beauty and the Beast is a musical romantic fantasy movie about the
struggle of finding a love. This story has two main characters, there are Beast and
Belle. Beast actually is a kind handsome prince before he turns into a greedy,
selfish, and cold-hearted prince. Meanwhile, Belle is a beautiful lady from a
village who dreams a better life. Because of the prince’s bad attitudes, he is cursed
to be a beast by an enchantress. The curse can only be broken if Beast finds
someone who loves him back before the last petal of rose fall. Unfortunately, it is
almost impossible to find love for Beast with his appearance and his bad attitude.
Beast suffers and struggles for many years until Belle shows up and changes
18
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
19
everything. Time by time, by passing through various events, finally Belle can
change Beast’s attitudes to be better and she can break the curse.
B. Approach of the Study
Since the topic of this research is the meaning of someone’s love to the
other, the approach which is used in this research is psychological approach. The
psychological approach is applied because it focuses on the psychological side of
human life. It is also used to identify the main character’s personality, thought, and
behavior pattern. The researcher uses the theory of character and characterization,
theory of motivation, and theory of love in analyzing the meaning of Belle’s love.
By using psychological approach, the researcher tries to analyze the
meaning of Belle’s love to Beast as seen in the movie script of Beauty and the
Beast. This approach aims to answer the formulated problems in this research.
There are five theories which are used by the researcher in order to
conduct this research. The theories of character and characterization are used to
analyze the character of Belle. Meanwhile, the theory of love, motivation, and
psychological approach are used to analyze the meaning of Belle’s love to the
Beast as seen in the movie script of Beauty and the Beast.

ANALYSIS
This chapter aims to answer the problem formulation of this research. This
chapter is divided into two parts to generate a clear and deep analysis. The first
part is about how Belle is described in the movie script. The second part
elaborates Belle’s love to Beast.
A. Belle’s Characters
Every story must have main characters. The characters have the greatest
effect on the plot or be the most affected thing by what happens in the story. The
main characters in Beauty and the Beast movie script by Stephen Chbosky and
Evan Spiliotopoulos are Belle and Beast. Whereas, the secondary characters that
emerge in a certain setting or only become supporting characters in this story are
Maurice (Belle’s father), Gaston (an arrogant village man), Lefou (Gaston’s best
friend), Lumiere (the castle servant), Cogsworth (the castle butler), Mrs.Potts (the
castle cook), Chip (Mrs.Potts’ son), Plumette (the maid), Garderobe (the castle’s
kindhearted lady), Cadenza (the castle organist and composer), and Agathe (the
enchantress). In order to have deeper understanding related to the character
description and physical description of Belle, the theories of character and
characterisation are applied in this research.
Based on the theory from Henkle (1977), Belle and Beast can be
categorized as the main or major characters because they are the ones who
become the center in the story. This story tells about a love story between Belle
20
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
21
and Beast. Meanwhile, the rest of characters in the story are the secondary
because those characters only have limited performance in the story.
In this part, the researcher describes Belle’s character in the Beauty and the
Beast movie script. In order to have a better understanding about Belle’s
character, the researcher applies theory of characterization from Murphy (1972).
Based on Murphy (1972) there are nine ways used to analyze the character. Those
methods are personal description, character as seen as by another, speech, past
life, a conversation between other characters, reaction, direct comment, thought,
and mannerism. However, not all of nine ways of characterization are used in this
research. There are only five ways used in analyzing Belle’s character, which are
personal description, character as seen as by another, conversation between other
characters, reaction and speech.
1. Brave
Belle is a brave and fearless woman. This statement is proved by the
actions and dialogues spoken by Belle. These evidences below elaborated the
examples of Belle’s bravery.
Belle is brave because she wants to do something which is dangerous and
risky. She is brave to become herself under circumstances which do not match
with her personality. One other action which shows Belle’s bravery is when she
bravely races through the enchanted woods and keeps continues running until the
path brings her to the castle.
Belle dismounts Philippe. Finding a thick branch, she wields it like a club,
then bravely crosses to the castle and enters (p. 23).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
22
Being alone in the middle of nowhere and entering a strange place which
seems creepy is such a brave thing. The castle looks so old and haunted, but she
does not think even just once to go back to the village. Without hesitation, she
enters the castle and tries to find her father. Furthermore, when she meets Beast
for the first time, she does not show that she is afraid. Instead, Belle tries to
challenge Beast by “swinging her club to strike” (p. 24).
Another evidence which shows Belle’s brave character is analyzed from
the conversation between Belle and Beast. In their first meeting, Belle bravely
yells at Beast and argues with Beast. She also dares to ask Beast to come into the
light. This is such a brave action to argue and yell at someone who looks
unfriendly and cold-hearted.
BELLE :Who’s there? Who are
you? THE BEAST : Who are you?
BELLE : I’ve come for my father.
THE BEAST :Your father is a thief.
BELLE : Liar!
THE BEAST: He stole a rose.
BELLE: I asked for the rose. Punish me, not him!
….
BELLE: a life sentence for a rose?
…
BELLE: come into the light (p. 24).
The bravest thing she does is when she replaces her father’s place. Being
trapped in the prison cell alone without clarity of time is such a terrible thing, but
she is willing do this. She makes a trick to deceive her father and Beast in order to
replace her father. She convinces her father that she is not afraid and promises that
she will escape from there. By doing this action, it means that she wants to take a
risk with all the bad things which might happen to her.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
23
BELLE: I’m not afraid. (whispers). And I will escape, I promise.
MAURICE: What?!
With that, she pivots and swings her father through the door just as the
beast slams it shut. Maurice trips to the ground, giving the beast a second
to turn to Belle. They lock eyes (p. 26).
From the explanation above, it is clear that Murphy’s (1972) theory is
applied. The character can be analyzed by the reaction and the speech. Belle is
brave because of her reactions when she enters the castle and swinging her club to
strike. Moreover, the way Belle speaks bravely to Beast confirms that she is a
brave woman.
2. Smart
Belle is described as a woman who has intelligence. This statement can be
proved by the personal description from the narrator, the fact that she can read and
teach someone to read, and the moment when she remembers a quote from a
book. The first evidence comes from the personal description from the narrator
which says that “Belle, a pure beauty blessed with intelligent” (p. 4). This
description means that Belle is a beautiful woman and gets the gift of intelligence
which leads her to become a smart woman.
The second evidence comes from her actions of reading a book and
teaching other girls to read. Her reading skill can be proved in the moment when
she comes to Pere Robert to borrow a book, but she has already read them all.
Pere Robert says “you may reread any of the old ones that you like” (p. 7). This
moment clearly shows that Belle can read and like to read because she has already
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
24
read all books there. Another evidence which shows Belle as a smart woman can
be seen in the moment when she teaches another girl to read.
She holds a book open, teaching the girl to read.
WASHER GIRL: (struggling) The blue bird flies...
BELLE: ...over the dark wood.
NASTY HEADMASTER: What on earth are you doing? He is joined by
the fishmonger
NASTY HEADMASTER: Teaching another girl to read? Isn’t one
enough? (p. 14)
At that time, school is only for boys (p. 6). So, as the only girl in the
village who can read, it shows that she has above-average ability. Therefore, the
villagers who watch Belle reading and teaching another girl to read become angry
and give her punishment.
Belle’s ability in remembering a quote from a book also proves that she is a
smart woman. When she takes care of Beast, she mumbles a quote from
Shakespeare’ book. At first, Beast presumes that she is reading a book, but when
Beast opens his eyes, he surprises because Belle does not read a book, she
remembers a quote which everyone does not know. It proves that Belle can
memorize well. So, we can classify her as a smart woman.
BELLE : Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the
eyes but with the mind. And therefore –
He opens his eyes to see that Belle isn’t reading, she’s reciting from
memory. He joins in (p. 76).
All of those evidences prove that Belle is a smart woman. Based of theory
of characterization from Murphy (1972), there are three ways used by the
researcher in order to prove the statement of Belle as a smart woman. Those three
ways are personal description from the narrator, Belle’s reaction when she teaches
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
25
other girl to read, and the last is Belle’s mannerism when she remembers the
quotes from a book.
3. Creative
Belle has creative mind. Her creativity can be proved from her reaction
when facing a problem. The first evidence is the moment when she designs the
washing machine. The second is when she tricks Maurice and Beast to replace
Maurice’s position. Then, the third is when she makes a makeshift rope to escape
the castle. Below is the first evidence.
Surrounded by design sketches, Belle’s workbench features a small model
of her „washing machine’ prototype. Belle places the miniature barrel in
position... fastens a rope to a leather strap... shaves chips off a block of
soap... collects the soap chips in a small sack... and rushes out (p. 13).
Belle uses her creativity to think and design the sketch of washing
machine. At first, she uses miniature to try her sketch. After testing the prototype,
she goes to laundry and manages to make a true washing machine by herself.
The next evidence can be seen in the moment when she tricks Maurice and
Beast to replace Maurice’s position. She feels guilty of what happens to Maurice.
Maurice would not be trapped in the prison if he did not pick a rose for her.
Therefore, she does a trick because Maurice will never agree to trade position
with her. She bargains with Beast to allow her to enter the prison cell to kiss her
father. Then, after she is already in the prison cell, Belle has some conversations
with Maurice before she pivots and swings him through the door in order to safe
Maurice by replacing his place.
BELLE: Alright, Papa. I will leave. (to the beast) I need a minute alone
with him.
-The beast doesn’t respond-
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
26
BELLE: Are you so cold-hearted that you won’t allow a daughter to kiss
her father goodbye? (off his proud grunt) Forever can spare a minute!
…..
THE BEAST: When this door closes, it will not open again.
INT. PRISON CELL - CASTLE – CONTINUOUS
-Belle rushes in and embraces her father-
BELLE: I’m not afraid. (whispers) And I will escape, I promise. MAURICE:
What?!
-With that, she pivots and swings her father through the door just as the
beast slams it shut. Maurice trips to the ground, giving the beast a second
to turn to Belle. They lock eyes (p. 23-24).
The third evidence is when Belle tries to escape from the castle. When she
is alone in her room, she makes a plan. With her creativity, she makes a makeshift
rope of fabric to escape from the castle through the window. It is proved that her
creativity works when she uses things around her as a tool of her plan.
INT. BELLE’S CASTLE BEDROOM – CONTINUOUS
Actually, Belle has been actively planning her escape. Her makeshift rope
of fabric hangs 50 feet out of the window (p. 38).
Belle’s creativity is already proven from those three evidences. She is
indicated as a creative woman because of the reaction that she does. She can make
creative plans in order to solve her problem. She handles situation and things
around her to solve her problems which indicates that she is a creative woman.
Based on the analysis, the researcher finds that Belle is a brave, smart, and
creative woman. Those characteristics can be analyzed from Murphy’s ways,
namely personal description, character as seen as by another, conversation
between other characters, reaction, and speech. Those three characters of Belle
leads her falls in love with Beast. Belle would never meet and spend her time with
Beast without her bravery and creativity. Furthermore, her intelligent is also being
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
27
one of factors that makes Belle enjoy her time with Beast. They both have similar
passion and level of thinking.
B. The Meaning of Belle’s Love to Beast
This part is to answer the second problem formulation, which is about the
meaning of Belle’s love to Beast. In order to know the meaning of Belle’s love to
Beast, the researcher divides this part into surface meaning and deeper meaning.
In the surface meaning, the researcher uses the theory of love from Sternberg
(1986) to analyze Belle’s act and reaction from the words which are printed in the
movie script, while in the deeper meaning, the researcher analyzes the deeper
meaning after interpreting some dialogues based on Maslow’s theory of needs.
A. The Surface Meaning
In this part, the researcher wants to analyze the surface meaning of Belle’s
love to the Beast using the theory of love from Stenberg (1986). Stenberg
classifies love into three basic components, namely intimacy, passion, and
commitment. Someone is indicated to be in love if they have at least one of the
components of love. Those three components are used as the guide in finding the
surface meaning of Belle’s love to Beast. However, the researcher only finds two
components of love in Belle’s love to Beast. The two basic components are
intimacy and passion.
Belle meets Beast for the first time in the castle when Belle wants to save
her father, Maurice. Belle’s love has not seen yet in their first meeting. It can be
proved from the part when Belle and Beast are having a conflict and yelling at
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
28
each other. At that time, Belle thinks that Beast is a cold-hearted person, while
Beast thinks that Belle is a foolish girl. It is also proved when Belle does not
accept the dinner invitation from Beast, and plans to escape the castle instead.
a. The presence of intimacy
Based on Sternberg (1986), intimacy is a component of love which leads
to closeness feeling to someone and warmth in a relationship. This component
derives from emotional investment in the relationship. In Beauty and the Beast
movie script, the researcher finds some evidences which show the presence of
intimacy in the Belle’s love to Beast.
One of the dialogue which shows Belle’s intimacy to Beast is when Belle
reads a poem while walking beside Beast in the stone footbridge (p. 62). The
intimacy can be seen when Belle and Beast embrace the poem together. Belle
reads the poem, while Beast feels the poetry soulfully. “Belle smiles, pleased that
for a moment at least he becomes a fan of poetry” (p. 62). At that moment, Belle
finds out that they both become a fan of poetry. Having similar of fondness leads
Belle feel connectedness to Beast. It is proven when they stare at each other and
find the meaning of poet’s words simultaneously.
Belle meets the beast’s eyes. Both suddenly aware of hidden meanings in
the poet's words (p. 63)
The presence of intimacy is also shown in the part when Belle and Beast
have dinner together. Belle seems having connection to Beast from the dialogue
when Beast asks permission to sit near Belle and she allows him. The way Belle
allows Beast to sit near her indicates that Belle feels close to Beast. She will not
allow Beast to sit near her if she still assumes Beast is a stranger. Furthermore,
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
29
Belle gives attentions to Beast by noticing the way he eats his meal and trying to
imitate it.
Belle reads at her end of the long dining table. She looks up and sees the
beast looking at her. “May I?” She nods, goes back to her book. As he
walks the length of the table.
……….
The beast sits. He grabs his bowl and slurps down the soup, then catches
himself as he sees Belle watching him (p. 63)
Another action which shows intimacy comes when Belle tells the
villagers that Beast is not a monster. She says Beast is gentle and kind and would
never hurt anyone (p. 80). This action means she has already known what kind of
person Beast is, because she has been spending most of her times with Beast. It
indicates that Belle enjoys being there with Beast and feels closeness to him. The
feeling of closeness is also proved from the Belle’s expression when she is doing
activities with Beast, she is smiling, laughing, and never complaining although her
status is a prisoner who has no freedom.
b. The presence of passion
One of the components of love is passion. Sternberg (1986) states passion
is a component of love which leads to romance and related action in a loving
relationship. In analyzing the meaning of Belle’s love to Beast, the researcher
finds some evidences which show the presence of passion.
Passion is related to an action in a loving relationship. It means that
physical interaction between two persons can also represent a passion between
them. In this story, the presence of passion from Belle to Beast can be seen when
Belle teaches Beast to pet the horse.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
30
… Belle takes his hand and places it on Philippe …
…
BELLE: There’s something sweet and almost kind, …
She looks back -- sees the beast petting Philippe.
BELLE: And now he’s dear and so unsure I wonder why I didn’t see it
there before (p. 63).
This part can be categorized as a romantic action from how Belle treats
Beast. She lets him to pet the horse and helps him by taking Beast’s hand then put it
on Phillippe. She also gives her attention by looking back to Beast to see what he
has done. Moreover, all of the compliments which are done by Belle to Beast give
a sense of romantic.
As the music rises, Belle bows. The beast bows in return. She offers him
her hands -- and nervously, he takes them. They begin to dance, gliding
across the ballroom (p. 74).
The action above shows the presence of passion when Belle dances with
Beast. Belle takes Beast’ hand and they dance together. They both enjoy the
moment and swept away. In this moment, nothing in the world exists except each
other (p. 74). In the other words, it shows a romance when two lovers feel that the
world belongs to both of them. The moment is also strengthened by the expression
from the household staff who watch Belle and Beast’s togetherness in mounting
hope and excitement.
The most powerful action which shows Belle’s passion is in the action
when Belle admits her feeling to Beast. At the time, Beast is getting hurt and
dying in the Belle’s arms. Belle is panic and sad of being left by Beast which
drives her to confess what she feels. The passion can be seen in Belle not only by
her action of saying „I love you’ to Beast, but also by her action of kissing Beast’s
forehead.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
31
BELLE: (to the beast) Please, don’t leave me. Come back. TIGHT
ON BELLE -- her lips touch the beast’s forehead in a kiss. BELLE :
I love you (p. 96).
The presence of passion has indeed been proven in Belle’s love to Beast.
However, the sense of passion increases as Beast turns into a prince charming. In
this case, physical appearance works much in growing the passions of Belle’s
love. Belle looks amazed by the original form Beast. Her awe makes her close to
him and leads them to do their first kiss.
In silent disbelief, Belle runs her fingers through his hair. She looks into
the Prince’s blue eyes. It is him. Tears of grief turn to tears of joy as they
lean in for their first kiss (p. 97).
Based on the theory of love by Sternberg (1986), Belle’s love growing
from nonlove into romantic love. Nonlove is a type of love which has no passion,
intimacy, and decision. This type of love can be found in the first meeting of Belle
and Beast. Afterward, their togetherness leads Belle to feel closeness to Beast and
experience a romantic occasion.
The meaning of Belle’s love to Beast is a romantic love. Romantic love is a
type of love which has only two components of love there are intimacy and
passion. The component of love which does not exist in the Belle’s love to Beast
is a commitment. The researcher does not find any evidences which show that
Belle’s love to Beast has a commitment. The story ends before any speech that
shows the commitment to maintain Belle’s love to Beast.

32
B. The Deeper Meaning
The deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast can be seen implicitly in the
movie script. To analyze the deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast, the
researcher uses psychological approach which focuses on the analysis of the
character’s motivation, behavior, struggle, and personality in the work. The
researcher also uses the theory of motivation from Maslow (1943) as a guide in
doing this research. This movie script tells about unexpectable love which comes
from the most beautiful girl in the town to Beast, who is ugly and awful. They
both initially hate each other which then turns into love.
Belle lives in the small town with small minded people. She thinks that she
wants life more than that, she wants a better life and goes from that town. Belle
does not fit in the the provincial life which makes the villagers thinks she is odd.
For example, Belle likes to read a book while the villagers think that spending
time reading a book is uncommon thing, notably Belle is a girl while school in
there is only for boys. Even when the most handsome man in the town wants to
marry her, she refuses it because Gaston as the perfect guy in the town is just the
same with the rest of villagers.
Belle watches Gaston leave. She opens the door.
BELLE: Can you imagine? Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless...
She turns away from the home she thinks she will never escape.
BELLE: Madame Gaston, can’t you just see it Madame Gaston, his little
wife. No sir, not me, I guarantee it. I want much more than this Provincial
life (p. 16).
That moment shows that Belle is not a simple girl. She wants more than
what she gets in that town. She refuses Gaston because Gaston is like all the other
villagers. Gaston may be different with the guys in the town because he is so
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
33
handsome and respected but he is selfish, arrogant, brainless and his behavior
does not reflect that he is a good guy.
Belle’s life changes after she meets Beast and stays in the castle. Belle’s
desire to have better life belongs to self-actualization needs. She wants a better
life which more than an ordinary life in her village. This desire can be satisfied
when she lives in the castle with Beast. She gets all of needs through living in the
castle with Beast.
a. Physiological needs
Based on the theory of motivation from Maslow (1943), human’s needs are
divided into five levels. The human needs from the lower to the higher are
physiological, safety, love or belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. The
researcher analyzed Belle’s need from the lower to the higher. The first basic need
is physiological needs. Belle can satisfy her physiological needs by getting some
basic things in the castle like food, water, and place to take a rest.
INT. BELLE’S BEDROOM - CASTLE – EVENING
the most beautiful, magical room she’s ever seen. The entire ceiling is a
painting of white clouds in a blue sky. There is a large dresser and a
comfortable bed. Opulence.
BELLE: It’s... beautiful.
LUMIÈRE: Of course. Master wanted you to have the finest room in the
castle (p. 28).
Belle gets luxury room in the castle. Belle looks amazed with her room, it
is the most beautiful room she has ever seen. Not only give Belle an amazing and
comfortable room, but the household staff also offer her a special dinner by giving
her rousing welcome and delicious foods for every meal they give to her.
b. Safety needs
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
34
Based on the theory of human motivation from Maslow (1943), Physical
survival is the most basic need for people which can motivate people behavior. It
means that the changes of behavior and mindset of someone can be influenced by
people’s needs. This statement can be proved from the movie script in the moment
when Beast saves Belle’s life from the wolf. At that time Belle once thinks that
she wants to leave Beast in the forest, but fortunately, she changes her mind and
helps Beast. She wants to save him because Beast has already saved her life
before. Beast’s willingness to help Belle and sacrifice himself for Belle, manage to
change Belle’s perception of Beast. If Beast tries to save her, it means that her life
will be safe with Beast and their togetherness would not threaten her life. Belle’s
need to feel safe is play a big part in her mind alteration. She chooses to save Beast
because she wants to return the kindness she received from Beast who sacrificed
himself in order to save her life. She brings him back to the castle and take care of
him because he gets hurt from the fight. That moment also makes Belle believe
that spending time with Beast makes her feel safe.
Belle’s safety need is already fulfilled here. She gets her safety and
security from Beast and also from the household staff. The household staff show
their concern to Belle by give her advices of what is good for her. Maslow (1987)
states “Both the physiological and the safety needs are fairly well gratified, there
will emerge the love and affection and belongingness needs” (p. 43). Belle is
getting more convinced that Beast will not hurt her when Beast won’t make her
sad and sets Belle free to meet her father. That decision is such a big decision
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
35
because it will make Beast and all the household staff lose their chance to break
the curse.
c. Belongingness and love needs
Their closeness is increasingly visible after Beast invites Belle to do
adventure with the magic book from the enchantress. Beast offers Belle to go to
wherever she wants with that magic book. Belle chooses to go back at the moment
when Maurice left his wife who was infected by the plague because they wanted
to save their child from the plague. From that moment, Beast realizes that he was
wrong then apologizes to Belle for accusing her father as a thief.
Through this chapter, their intimacy increases into the new level. Belle
enjoys living in the castle and finds her lovely friends which indicate that she has
already get her belongingness and love needs. Beast treats Belle well. He
understands Belle, and he never thinks that Belle is an odd or a funny girl. They
are talking, joking, and laughing together which make Belle feels happy and alive.
d. Esteem needs
Another moment that Belle cannot get in her past life is when she is
offered by Beast to dance with him. She gets beautiful moment that she cannot get
in the common life. She is dressed a beautiful gown with beautiful make up and
ornaments. While Beast looks resplendent, they both dance in the absolutely
resplendent ballroom which has been cleaned and scrubbed to its former glory.
Everyone in the castle feels the excitements of that moment.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
36
As the music rises, Belle bows. The beast bows in return. She offers him
her hands -- and nervously, he takes them. They begin to dance, gliding
across the ballroom –
CAMERA sweeps up to see CARVED INSTRUMENTAL FIGURES --
VIOLIN, VIOLAS, HARP -- which have come to life and are playing
accompaniment with CADENZA -- sparkling with polish.
ANGLE ON BEAUTY AND THE BEAST -- in this moment, nothing in
the world exists except each other. Despite his bulk, the beast is careful,
gentle, graceful. The lights in the ballroom grow dim as he lifts her,
spinning. Belle is swept away.
ANGLE ON THE HOUSEHOLD STAFF -- watching in mounting hope
and excitement. On top of Cadenza, Lumière puts an arm around
Cogsworth, pulling him closer (p. 74).
In the castle, Belle is treated like a princess. She is respected by the
household staff in the castle. They give Belle a beautiful welcoming dinner, offer
her an amazing room and make a friend with Belle without thinking that Belle is
odd. This moment shows that Belle has already reached her esteem need. Esteem
need based on Maslow (1943) is a need of human being to get respect from others
and feel confident of their reputation. In her past life, she is treated badly by her
surroundings. Belle is labeled odd by most of the villagers. They mock Belle and
think that Belle is a funny girl. Fortunately, Belle gets her dignity when she lives
in the castle. She gets respect from the household staff and also Beast.
e. Self-actualization
In the castle, Belle finds happiness and free for herself. One moment
which makes her amazed so much is when Beast shows his library. She likes
reading books, which mean, library becomes one of what she fonds the most.
When she was in the village, the town’s library only has a couple dozen books in
total, but, in the Beast’s library, she finds “The biggest grandest private library in
all of France” (p. 77). The chamber is vast and lined floor to ceiling with book.

All the more, Beast gives permission to Belle for reading all the books by saying
“well if you like it so much, then it yours” (p. 61). She is also surprised knowing
that Beast likes to read and has much better knowledge than her. They both have
similar fondness of books that make them spend much of their time together.
Belle’s proximity interaction to Beast starts when she wants to return
Beast’s kindness of saving her life. While taking care of Beast, Belle’s
physiological needs are fulfilled here. Time by time, she finds the feeling of safety
and comfort. Safety and comfort grow because she knows that Beast is kind and
they have done some activities which make her feeling alive and having a
friend. Comfort and safety grow to a desire to live together. None of Beast and
household staff think she is odd or peculiar, even they treat Belle like a
princess. Furthermore, she finds something she has been looking for all along on
Beast, a better life. She finds someone who has similar joy and fondness which
make Belle can actualize herself.
The highest level of need hierarchy by Maslow is self-actualization. Self-
actualization is the human desire to become what they want to be. Experience the
feeling of bliss and satisfaction. Beast is the most influential person in reaching
Belle’s actualization. Spending time with Beast, makes Belle being the fullest
form of herself. She can do what she wants to do without any insults, instead
Beast supports and helps her to do what she wants, such as exploring library to get
books (p. 83).
Lives with Beast, makes Belle gets happiness. The presence of Beast in her
life has already changed Belle’s life until she reaches the fullest form of herself.

This situation leads Belle falls in love with Beast. She finds awareness, love, and
bliss proved by the fact she gets all the five human needs from Maslow.
Through all of those things which experienced by Belle, it is concluded
that the meaning of Belle’s love to Beast is a spiritual love. According to Byram
(1999), spiritual lover is the persons who accept others with all his/her limitations.
They do not only focus on the acceptance of human dilemmas, but also the
harmonious of relationship. Belle’s love shows that love does not always come
from the physical appearance. Belle finds her happiness and fulfils her needs with
Beast regardless of the physical, status, and story aspects of Beast. Her love to
Beast is pure. She does not think about who he is at all, but she likes to be with
him. The goal of relation is not to get to know a person but the goal of relationship
is to experience awareness, bliss, and love together.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS, IMPLICATIONS, AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter consists of three sections. Those are conclusions, implication,
and suggestions. The first section is concerned with the conclusion of the analysis.
The second is the implication of this research for education and the last section is
suggestions for the future research and teacher especially for English teacher.
A. Conclusions
From the analysis that has been done, there are two main points that can be
concluded. It is concluded based on the two research problems in this research.
The first problem is how Belle is described in the movie script of Beauty and the
Beast, and the second problem is the meaning of Belle’s love to Beast. From the
analysis that has been done by the researcher, it is concluded that Belle is
described as a brave, smart, and creative woman. While, there are two findings
for the second research question. The first is the surface meaning and the second
is the deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast. The surface meaning of Belle’s
love is a romantic love which can be proved by the presence of intimacy and
passion. However, the deeper meaning of Belle’s love to Beast is a spiritual love.
Belle loves Beast by the presence of Beast, she does not pay attention to Beast’s
appearance, status, or story. She enjoys their togetherness which leads her to find
her happiness and reach all of her needs.

B. Implication
Love story from Beast and Belle is an interesting thing for the researcher.
Through the story of Belle and Beast’s love, the researcher learns several things
about love. Love is something that is hard to understand, like what Belle does in
this story, she falls in love with Beast, who is ugly and awful. It teaches the
researcher that love is not always based on the physical appearance, but the sense
of comfort and security which come from partner can also bring up a love.
Literature is important for whoever learn about language, especially for the
future teachers who will teach English language as the major field. The movie and
movie script from this research can be used as one of the material to teach drama.
The movie script can be used as the script to play drama or as material to improve
student’s reading comprehensive and vocabulary.
C. Suggestions
The suggestion consists of two parts. The first part is suggestions for the
future researchers. In this research, the researcher only focuses on the meaning of
love from Belle to Beast. There are some parts in the movie script which have not
been discussed. One of the topics which has not been discussed is the meaning of
love from Beast to Belle. Hence, for the future researchers who want to analyze
this movie script, the researcher suggests them to analyze about the meaning of
love from Beast to Belle.
The second part is suggestion for the readers. This research discusses
about a man and a girl who searching their love. They have different status and
significant fate. The man was a prince who is cursed being a Beast, while the girl
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
41
is a commonalty who has a beautiful appearance. At first Belle hates Beast so
much, but then after they live together, Belle starts to have a feeling with Beast.
Therefore, The researcher suggest to the readers to find different perspective of
love. Love does not only come from the physical appearance, love does not
determine by the same fate or status, but love can grow from the actions and
habits. Because love is not about having relation which is in line with our
expectations, but love is about having relation which gives each other a sense of
happiness and comfort.
