INTRODUCTION
This chapter is background of the research that describes the reason why the writer
intends to conduct this research. There is the background, statement of research problem,
objectives of the research, and significance of the research and. Definition of key term is
given so that the readers are expected to have the same interpretation in understanding of the
1.1 Background
Movie is a moving picture that is recorded with sound that is usually we watched on
television, cinema, or theater such as drama. Movie is not only for entertainment, but people
also can use movie as a medium of learning and information. Movie called live images
(motion pictures), which is a series of still images (still pictures) that glides quickly and
projected so that the impression of living and moving. Effendy (1986:239) “The movie is a
picture of a moving (Moving Picture)”. Movie is a medium that presents an audio message,
visual and motion. Therefore, the movie gives the impression that impressive for the
audience. Eneste (1991:18) states, “The movie is a combination of a wide variety of arts,
namely music, art, drama, literature coupled with photographic elements.” Therefore, the
In a movie, the author describes the ideas, concept, and values of life that can
become examples in everyday human life. that can be influenced by two elements, that is
intrinsic element and extrinsic elements. According to Semi (1988; 35) intrinsic aspects are
including character, conflict, setting, and figurative language, which build the literary work
itself. While extrinsic element is the way to analyze a literary works using related theories
and contents in order to get a better understanding between the material and theory that is
used to analyze the topic. So extrinsic element are elements that are obtained from outside
Basically, to distinct the whole story through the characterization. It means that to
know the content of the story, audience primarily have to do is know every characters in the
story. Character and characterization is one of intrinsic element. Type of characters is main
character and minor character. Nurgiyantoro (1994:176-177) says the main character is a
character who is prioritized in his storytelling in the literary work concerned. He is the
character who is mostly told, both as the perpetrator of the incident and the one who was
affected by the incident. Additional characters or minor character are characters who are not
told much but their presence also determines the course of the story with the main character.
So, the main character is someone have a detail information and also have a power
characterization, while a minor character is someone which helps make the main character's
The writer found out some previous studies which are related to this research. The
first is from Nurilah Ariani (2010) with her thesis Characters and Theme Analysis in J.M
Coetzee Novel Disgrace which focused on character and theme of the novel. The similarity
between the previous and the research is we both discuss about character. The difference is in
the selected object which is the previous choses the novel and the researcher chose the
movie. The second previous is almost related with this research who was written by Lusi Fitri
Asmanida (2018) which is entitle The Analysis of Maleficent’s Characterization as The Main
Character in Maleficent Movie by Robert Stromberg. The thesis discusses about Maleficent
characteristics and conflict which fall on her. The similarity between the previous and the
research is we both discuss about Maleficent movie and analyze the characterization. But
there are differences in discussion of the statement problem. The previous only focus on
Maleficent characterization and her conflict, but this research analyzes some of the characters
and characterization of the Maleficent movie and finds out the function of the characters for
developing story. This research also analyze sequel two of Maleficent movie. The tittle is
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie had a dark fantasy adventure. The movie has two
series. The first movie has a title Maleficent was release on May 28,2014 and the second has
a title Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was release on October 18,2019. Both of them produced
by Walt Disney Pictures, directed by Robert Stromberg and Joachim Ronning, and written or
screenplay by Linda Woolverton. The story has fairy tale story, like sleeping beauty, but with
the dark fantasy tone. Usually fairy tales have a kind fairy who will help a princess. But in
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the fairy is not only someone who helps a princess, but also
becomes the main character and has a different character from other fairies.
The character becomes an image that is made to attract the reader's attention. So the
characters and characterization have an important aspect of building and developing story in
a movie. From that, the writer is interest to analysis of characters and characterization from
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie. The writer chose Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie for
this research because this movie has unique characters and characterization from other fairy
tales, where the main character has two type character, that is protagonist and round
character. In this movie also raises several types of characters that are very interesting to be

1. Character: is a figure in the story. Including human being, animal, fairies, etc. Klarer
(2004: 135) says “character is a figure presented in literary text, including main character
or protagonist and minor character.” Character become one of the important things in a
story.
2. Characterization: is the author's way of presenting and showing the characters by direct
characters who help to define each other. In characterization, there are what are called flat
characters (characters that don't change from the beginning to the end of the story) and
round characters (characters that are more complex in the story and can change in the
middle or end of the story due to certain factors/reasons). There is main and minor
character, also protagonist (who have a good character) and antagonist (who have a bad
character).

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
This chapter discusses structuralism as the basic theory for applying literature approach.
The writer also added another theory, such as movie and drama, character and characterization
2.1 Structuralism
developed inside a context. Lois Tyson (2006: 220) says “Our discussion of structuralist
approaches to literature will focus on the narrative dimension of literary texts because
structuralist criticism deals mainly with narrative. In addition, most drama and a good deal of
poetry, though not classified as narrative, nevertheless have a narrative dimension in that they
tell a story of some sort”. In short, structuralism can be used in writing either in the form of
stories in dramas or even poetry. Even so, structuralism also cannot ignore other things from the
stands free from poet, audience, and its environment. It describes the literary work as a self-
sufficient object”. What Abrams implies by the self-contained object could be a framework
which comprises of indivisible interrelation components. A component decides the personality of
the others and contrarily. In another side, “the structure of a literary work can be regarded as an
arrangement, firmness, and depiction of all elements and materials which shaping a unity” (68).
Each component cannot stand alone without the other components. A component needs the other
components to create the entire story, such as the show and the audience, or the character and
characterization.
and society, which centers on separating considerations or components of structure and attempts
to see how they relate to the whole structure. Structuralists thing that the essential structures
which organize rules and units into critical frameworks are made by the human intellect itself
and not by sense of acknowledgment. Structuralism tries to decrease the complexity of human
experiences to certain essential structures which are widespread, a thought which has its roots
within the classicists like Aristotle who recognized basic structures as forming the introduce of
life. Tyson also said “We must keep in mind, however, that structuralism does not attempt to
interpret what individual texts mean or even whether or not a given text is good literature. Issues
of interpretation and literary quality are in the domain of surface phenomena, the domain of
parole. In short, structuralism isn’t interested in what a text means, but in how a text means what
it means” (220).
Burhan Nurgiyantoro (1995) state that structuralist approach points to explain as clearly
and precisely the functions and connections among many components of a literary work which
create the entire story. The imperative thing is to appear how the elements relate to each other.
concerned with the discernments and portrayal of structures. Structuralism claims that the nature
of each component in any given situation has no importance by itself, and in reality is decided by
all the other components included in that situation. In this manner, from the clarification over,
the writer can conclude that actually the idea of structuralism is the thought of framework. The
individual works, the literary sorts, and the complete of literature are too related to frameworks.
see the world as a formative link not as a formative thing. An element in a system of structure
will have a meaning after getting a link with the others.” In this way, essentially the analysis of
structuralism purposes to expand precisely the work and the relationship among the components
of literary works. Then seeing the literature as a whole is a part of structuralism critic in literary
works. From the structuralist point of view, literary works is consisted of intrinsic aspects which
made it as a whole unity. Intrinsic aspects are plot of story, character and characterization,
background or setting of story, and the theme of story. So then, analyzing some characters in the
story can make the analysis as the structuralism analysis. It is therefore, the analysis in this
The writer decides to take the structuralism approach for this analysis because of the
main idea of structuralism that emphasizes upon the relationship among the component of a
literary work. In this research, the writer tries to explain the characterization of the Maleficent:
Mistress of Evil movie and it’s function in developing story with structuralism theory, drama and
movie theory, character and characterization theory and other theory which can help this
research.
and Gioia (1976: 1061) “Unlike a short story or a novel, a play is a work of storytelling in which
actors represent the characters”. Drama or play is arranged for the reason of being performed in
front of audience. Dramas and movies both aim to be staged and presented to an audience by
being moved directly by actors and recorded for distribution. Kennedy and Gioia also says “In a
silent reading, the usual play consists mainly of dialogue, exchanges of speech, punctuated by
stage directions. In performance, though, stage directions vanish. We may even forget that the
play is literature, for its gestures, facial expressions, bodily stances, lighting, and special effects
are as much a part of it as the playwright’s written words. Even though words are not all there is
to a living play, they are its bones. And the whole play, the finished production, is the total of
whatever transpires on stage” (1062). So the drama has an important role with the player or
actor, the producer, the audience, and others. This is indeed done during performances, whether
in a drama or movie.
Although movie regularly read in this way, they are made basically to be displayed in
public performers, each of whom imagines to be one of the characters within the story the play is
telling. Drama means “action” or “deed” (from the Greek dran, “to do”). We use drama as a
synonym for plays, but the word has several meanings. Sometimes it refers to one play (“a
stirring drama”); or to the work of a playwright, or dramatist (“Ibsen’s drama”). In yet another
familiar sense, drama often means events that elicit high excitement: “A real-life drama.”
Kennedy and Gioia also said that most plays are written not to be read in books but to be
performed (1062-1063). It because drama and film presents real action so that the public or
audience has a more realistic view. Kosasih (2012: 132) explain about definition of drama:
“Bentuk karya sastra yang bertujuan menggambarkan kehidupan dengan menyampaikan
pertikaian dan emosi melalui lakuan dan dialog. Drama menjadi media dalam
menggambarkan imajinasi yang berdasar pada pengindraan yang telah didapat dari
dinamika realitas kehidupan manusia. Dialog pada naskah drama merupakan media
According to Joseph M. Boggs (2008), movie is form of expression, the motion picture
that is similar to the artistic media. Movie employs the compositional elements of visual art; like
painting and photography movie exploits the subtle of inter-play of light and shadow; like
sculpture movie manipulates three-dimensional space; like pantomime movie focuses on moving
images; like dance movie has rhythm; like poetry communicates through imagery, metaphor, and
symbol; like drama movie communicates visually and verbally; like the novel movie compresses
and expands time and space, travelling back and forth freely without their wide borders.
than literary itself, but the basic unsure of the movie is also literary work. This explanation is
“Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires an extra effort. And the fact
that we do not generally read films does not mean we should ignore the principle of
literary or dramatic analysis when we see a film. Literature and film do share and
communicate many elements I similar ways. Perceptive film analysis rests on the
principles used in literary analysis. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of
film we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story.”
Movie is an art in movement, since the creators describe each motion that happens based
on the perspective of the imagination they get based on the tangible perceptions they experience
from the social life around them. Movie is appearance (embodiment) of human life. Moulton in
Haryamawan (1986: 1), state that drama is life presented in action. movie is a reflection of the
elements of life that happen, both movement, behavior or human act. So, movie has viewpoints
of human life, characteristic and social reality that are references, so drama could be a complex
literary work. Thus regarded, a play becomes a form of storytelling, and the playwright’s
instructions to the actors and the director become a conventional mode of narrative that we
Movie and drama have same definition in some aspect. They are assigned to be displayed
in front of the public as well as the audience with elements of actors, dialogues, also recorded by
camera. Drama and movie also have a function to communicate, inform, and socialize. Miyarso
(2009: 1) said
“film (movie) atau sinema merupakan salah satu bentuk teknologi audio visual. Hampir
semua ide, gagasan,pesan atau kejadian apapun sudah dapat dibuat dan ditayangkan
dengan menggunakan terknologi audio visual gerak ini. Baik hal-hal nyata yang ada di
sekitar manusia (dokumentatif), hingga pada hal-hal fiktif yang berasal dari
imajinasinya”.
Based on the opinion of experts, it can be concluded that movie may be appearance of
imagination which is showed into a work, both in terms of verbal and development. In drama
aspects of human life, general and social realities become references to describe a work that is
played. Movie is a type of literary work which tells about a life of mankind through expression,
of its audio-visual nature with vivid images and sound, movie able to tell a lot of stories in a
short time. When watching a movie, the audience seems to be able to penetrate space and time
which can tell life stories and can even influence the audience. Movie has one goal, that is to
attract people's attention to the content of the problems it contains. In addition, movie can be
designed to serve the needs of a limited public or the wider public Movie is a sensational act
delineates human life that's experienced regularly. Then one of the characteristics of movie is a
depiction of dialogue performed by characters who represent each of their characteristics. Movie
requires the quality of communication, situation and action. Quality can be seen from how the
Movie is one of the easiest works to enjoy modern and popular literature. The character
plays the movie to tell a story and convey a particular meaning, moral value, and also motivation
of life. It could be a true story or a fiction story. Many kinds of the movie such as horror,
comedy, romance, fantasy, history, etc. The movie can influence our aspect of life because the
movie gives the audience an illustration of a story played or performed by some figures.
Nowadays, human has increasing technology by making something looks alive. Movie is a series
photography, sound recordings, fine arts, theater, literature, architecture, and music art. Movie is
cinema or moving images, is a series of pictures projected on a screen aims to create the illusion
(description) of motion of the living. The difference things from other literary works in movie, it
expresses not only through action and gesture in visual, through dialogue in verbal, but also
through concrete pictures and recorded sound (Boggs and Petrie, 2008:3).
Analyzing movie, like analyzing literature (fiction texts, etc.), is a form of rhetorical
analysis—critically analyzing and evaluating words, phrases, and images. Unlike literature,
movie have incorporate audiovisual elements. Ultimately, however, analysis of film is not too
different. Think of all the things that make up a scene in a movie: the actors, the lighting, the
angles, the colors, and the dialogs. Dialogue and narration appear alternately so that a film is not
monotonous. According to Pettrie & Boggs (2012), in the modern movie, a major part of our
attention directed to the sound in movie, it is naturally directed for understanding the dialogue,
because dialogue in most films gives us a great deal of important information (221). Dialogue is
information through these characters. Furthermore, literature and movie incorporate similar
elements. They both have plots, characters, dialogue, settings, symbolism, and, just as the
elements of literature can be analyzed for their intent and effect, these elements can be analyzed
the same way in movie. Re-watching movie and creating screen captures (still images) of certain
scenes can help with detailed analysis of colors, positioning of actors, placement of objects, etc.
Klarer 2004:53 states that “film is made by literary techniques, conversely, literary
practice, developed particular features under the impact of film”. Drama or film is a piece of
work consisting of literary aspect and aspect of performed. The major developments of literary
theory have therefore also been borrowed or adapted by film studies. In spite of their differing
forms and media, drama and film are often categorized under the healing performing arts
The kind conversation they have, the thing they do, their appearances and so on are the particular
ways in which the writer has chosen to characterize his or her character. According to
Nurgiyantoro (2000) a character is a person who is shown in a narrative or drama and the readers
can interpret how their attitude or morals and behavior are though the actions they take.
Character creation is the art of characterization what the writer does to bring a character to life to
give the audience with a sense of that character's personality to create that character unique.
Readers always identify every action of characters to know who is victim or suspect in a story
through interpretation about what characters do, what characters said, and which characters act.
Character have psychological aspect to build the story. Character and personality have a close
relationship. In any drama, personality plays a vital role in character's behavior and actions to
protect personal entity and psyche (Charters, 2011: 34). Character can be defined as somebody in
a literary work that has identity which is made up by their looks, dialogue, activity, name and
idea.
Characterization have a more extensive scope than character because not only describe
who include within the story but moreover include how the writer or author describe the
character in a story, as of the data about characterizations can give a clear picture to the readers
and audiences. In this way, it can be concluded that characterization is the method of conveying
data around of story through discussions between characters, activities, ideas, and descriptions of
these characters. In addition, characterization can moreover be seen through the appearance of
each character, gender, age, education level, occupation, and social status. Characterization in
literature is the method of creators used to develop character and make images of the characters
for the audience. According to Aquino (1976: 112) characterization is the method to analyze the
main character's development and personality which deals with the process of creating an image
of person in fiction complete with the person's trait, features and motivations. It broadly refers to
According to Kennedy and Gioia (106), characterization is the techniques a writer uses to
create, reveal, or develop the characters in a narrative. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle,
who laid the foundations for the critical study of drama, divided the elements of drama into plot,
character, thought, language, and spectacle (1920: 8). However, almost all dramas use all of
these elements to some extent, telling a story by means of the interactions of characters, who
express their thoughts through language within a particular visual setting. The balance of these
elements, however, varies from play to play. During some periods and in some traditions many
or most plays emphasize some element other than plot. Numerous plays emphasize a particular
character or a relationship between characters, as does Shakespeare’s Hamlet, such plays are
especially popular because audiences have always been interested in seeing their favorite actors
characters start out as highly developed, for example, if we know something about how a
character walks and talks, what she thinks, who she associates with, and what kind of secrets she
has, she is naturally more complex and developed. Other characters develop over the course of a
story, starting out one way and ending up different, becoming changed by what happens to them.
Or you might only see one side of the character for a while but at some point, another side is
characters are characterized by one or two traits, they can be summed up in a sentence; (b)
Round characters are complex and many sided, they might require an essay for full analysis; (c)
Static character is a character who remain the same from the beginning of a work to the end
while; (d) dynamic character exhibit some kind of change of attitude, of purpose, of behavior as
the story progresses. But in this research, the writer just took the two of them. Flat character and
round character.
Flat characters are generally simple, have a few dominant characteristics, and tend to be
unsurprising. Flat character is a character who does not change their character from beginning to
the end. Whether it's a good character or a bad character. they only have one or two characters in
the story so those characters won't change throughout the story. Nurgiantoro (1995: 181-182)
says that a flat character as known as a simple character “simple character in original form, the
character which only one simple personality, or one characteristic personality”. A flat character
has only one outstanding trait or feature, or at most a few distinguishing marks (Kennedy and
Gioia: 68).
Flat characters tend to stay the same throughout a story, but round characters often
change—learn or become enlightened, grow or deteriorate. (68). So, flat character usually has
just one or two characteristics and never changing till the end of story.
Round character usually plays a major role in a story. They are often called the hero or
heroine. Round character is usually a main character, and is developed over the course of the
story. These characters have been fully developed by the writer, physically, mentally, and
emotionally, and are detailed enough to seem real. Nurgiyantoro argues that a round character as
complex character, the character having and reveal in any possibilities in his or her life,
personality, and side of personal life”. Can be concluded that round character can change
following the plot that occur in the story and can surprising the audience in the end of story. For
audience, these are the characters you may put the most undertake into following and
understanding, and for writers, they are the most challenging to create. Round characters are
According to Kennedy and Gioia (68) “round characters, however, present us with more
facets—that is, their authors portray them in greater depth and in more generous detail. Such a
round character may appear to us only as he appears to the other characters in the story. If their
views of him differ, we will see him from more than one side. In other stories, we enter a
character’s mind and come to know him through his own thoughts, feelings, and perceptions”.
2.4.2.1 Protagonist
Protagonist character appear something suitable with our view’s desire. Protagonists are the main
characters in fiction. However, they are not always completely moral or likable. It's important for
protagonists to be relatable even if they are not likable. Readers and audience need to believe
“Aristotle observes that the protagonist, the hero or chief character of a tragedy, is a
person of “high estate,” apparently a king or queen or other member of a royal family. It is the
nature of tragedy that the protagonist must fall from power and from happiness; his high estate
gives him a place of dignity to fall from and perhaps makes his fall seem all the more a calamity
in that it involves an entire nation or people. Nor is the protagonist extraordinary merely in his
position in society (1147).” So the protagonist becomes the main character who has many
2.4.2.2 Antagonist
Antagonists usually are known as bad people in works of fiction. Antagonist character
becomes the opposite of the protagonist character. They attempt to avoid heroes from getting
what they want or need. Making an enemy evil isn't as interesting as making the character
conflicted. For that reasons there must be an antagonist who is 'disruptive', that is the function of
the antagonist character. to create an interesting plot as well as the development of the story. The
antagonist is the character or force against which the protagonist struggles (Pope, 2005:134).
Even so, conflicts do not only come from antagonistic characters, but can also come from other
things such as disaster, accident, environment and society, social rules, moral values, high power
Nurgiyantoro (1995: 176) state that character in story in divided into two kinds; there are
Characters give the important roles to make the story in a film more alive (Pope,
2005:86). They give the story a purpose, a reason for the audience to care what happens in the
film. Especially for the main characters, they have an important role in films. They have big
influence to represent the important thing that a film wants to deliver to the audience.
Nurgiyantoro (1995) state that character who told the most, both as the perpetrator or the person
affected by the even. According to the statement above, main character takes the biggest part of
the story and have more appearances than the other characters.
The main character has an important role in every action in the story. DiYanni (2001: 55)
mention a main character is an important figure at the center of the story’s action or theme. The
main character is called a protagonist whose conflict with an antagonist may spark the story's
conflict. A main character is a character that is emphasized to tell the story. The main character
According to DiYanni (2001: 55-56) that “supporting the main character are one or more
secondary or minor character whose function is partly to illuminate the main characters. Minor
characters are often static or unchanging: they remain the same from the beginning of a work to
the end. We should be careful not to automatically equate major characters with dynamic ones or
Major character and minor character are important in character. Usually, people assume
protagonist (major character) is the same with main character that in the beginning until the end
story. Antagonist (minor character) is a partner from protagonist that supports protagonist
character to make the plot interesting. Antagonist character is related when the story has a
conflict for protagonist character to achieve what the goals that protagonist character represents
Minor characters are unlikely to be used as a viewpoint character. In most fiction— even
the greatest—minor characters tend to be flat instead of round. Why? Rounding them would cost
time and space; and so enlarged, they might only distract us from the main characters (Kennedy
This sequel to the first Malificent film opens in the Moors. Three men approach a tree
where little mushroom fairies are hiding. The man grabs for them, and he manages to get a few.
They are stopped and attacked by a creature with large horns. Two of the men are killed by this
creature while one escapes with one of the little mushroom fairies. He returns it to the kingdom
The narrator states that it has been five years since Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) became
guardian to Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) after rescuing her from her father, King Stefan, but
the story about Maleficent has been twisted to continue painting her as a villain. In the present
day, Aurora is queen of the Moors, presiding over all magical creatures. The fairies Knotgrass
(Imelda Staunton), Thistlewit (Juno Temple), and Flittle (Lesley Manville) come by to tell
Aurora something, along with a little porcupine fairy called Pinto. She steals Aurora's crown and
leads her to chase after her, only for Aurora to fall in the river. As she walks out, she is met by
Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson). Aurora realizes what is going on, and Phillip proposes to her.
She accepts, to the delight of all the fairies. However, Diaval (Sam Riley) overhears this and flies
over to tell Maleficent. Before he can finish his sentence, a very unhappy Maleficent swoops
In Ulstead, Phillip rides with General Percival (David Gyasi) back to the kingdom. Like
most of the other people in Ulstead, Percival views Maleficent and the Moorfolk as murderous
monsters. Phillip goes to his parents, King John (Robert Lindsay) and Queen Ingrith (Michelle
Pfeiffer) to deliver the news that Aurora has accepted his proposal. They both congratulate him,
and they plan on having both Aurora and Maleficent present for a dinner. We then see Ingrith
travel to a lower level in the castle where she has several workers forging weapons. She meets a
servant of hers, Lickspittle (Warwick Davis), who is in the process of creating something
dangerous by using a particular flower. It is also shown that Ingrith is using the cursed spindle as
Maleficent flies down to meet with Aurora. She openly voices her approval over the
engagement, but Aurora just wants Maleficent and Phillip's family to get along. Maleficent
knows that she is not wanted in Ulstead, but for Aurora's sake, she promises to show up and
behave. Diaval helps her practice being polite, while Aurora gives her a veil to cover her horns
Maleficent travels with Aurora and Diaval into Ulstead to meet John and Ingrith. Things
first seem wrong when Ingrith deliberately places iron silverware out, knowing full well how
iron hurts fairies. Ingrith starts to pile on by bringing up Maleficent's curse and the disappearance
of the men in the moors, suggesting she may have had something to do with it. The final straw
comes when Ingrith says that Aurora will now have a real mother once she marries Phillip.
Maleficent rages out and spreads her wings to intimidate everyone. When she demands to Aurora
that they leave, John suddenly appears to fall ill before fainting. Ingrith makes everyone believe
that Maleficent has cursed John, but she denies it to Aurora. When Aurora won't join her,
Maleficent flies away. Ingrith has her henchwoman Gerda (Jenn Murray) fire iron at Maleficent,
causing her to fall into the ocean. Moments later, a creature resembling her swoops down and
rescues her.
John is laid in his bedroom. Aurora and Phillip suggest that Ingrith use "true love's kiss"
on him to wake him up. Since she obviously doesn't love him and is, in fact, the one who cursed
him, it doesn't work. Gerda then reports to Ingrith about the other creature that grabbed
Maleficent. Maleficent wakes up to find her wound tended to. She wanders and comes across a
gathering of other Dark Fairies (or "Feys"), including Conall (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the one who
saved her. Co-leader Borra (Ed Skrein) views the humans as the enemy, blaming them for the
disappearance of the fairies. They see Maleficent, and Borra goes over to mock her association
with a human. This makes her mad enough to demonstrate her power against Borra, which he
actually finds great as he thinks they can use her power against the humans. Conall then takes
Maleficent across the land, which is a hidden society of other fairies that possess unique powers.
Conall also shows Maleficent that she is descended from a fairy phoenix, but her ancestor used
her power for dark purposes and was crystallized. He warns Maleficent about using that kind of
power.
Pinto sneaks into the castle and finds the mushroom fairy, but she gets captured by
Lickspittle and placed along the other stolen fairies. Meanwhile, Aurora is staying in the castle,
with Ingrith pretending to be loving toward her, but it becomes clear she is controlling, as she
prefers Aurora wear her old wedding dress instead of the one that the three fairies made for her.
Lickspittle is then shown to have completed Ingrith's weapon. He shows her how it works - the
pieces of the flower are mixed with iron powder to turn it red and make it instantly lethal to
fairies. Lickspittle grabs a poor dandelion fairy and causes it to burst into dust with the slightest
touch of the powder. Ingrith gets ready to use it and has Gerda invite (or rather, demand) the
Moors and finds that Ingrith's soldiers have taken the flowers. They have also ambushed her and
fire iron bullets at her, but Conall dives in to save her, wounding himself. The other fairies fight
off the soldiers and return to lay Conall to rest. Borra proclaims to the other fairies that Ingrith
has initiated a war against them, and they will fight together as an army. Maleficent stays by
Conall's side as he dies, in which he transfers his essence to her while he becomes part of the
earth.
The Moorfolk begin to arrive in the kingdom for the ceremony. Aurora then senses
something from the spot on her finger where she had been pricked. She comes across Ingrith's
secret lair and finds the spindle, which allows her to see that Ingrith stabbed John with a cursed
end. She also discovers that Lickspittle is a pixie who was forced to work for Ingrith after she
took his wings. Ingrith finds Aurora and has her guards imprison her.
Ingrith has all the Moorfolk locked inside the chapel as Gerda begins to release the red
powder inside, which kills some of the tree folk. Outside, Maleficent and Borra lead the other
fairies to fight back, but they are hit with numerous powder bombs, instantly killing some of
them and forcing them to fall back. Aurora tells Phillip what his mother has done, and when he
learns the truth from Ingrith, who shows no remorse, Phillip defies her and jumps off the tower,
escaping on a balloon. Borra swoops down and almost kills Percival when he attempts to strike
another fairy, but Phillip intervenes. He tells Borra he doesn't want his mother's war, and he
refuses to have fairy blood on his hands. Maleficent witnesses this and realizes Phillip can be
trusted. She still goes after his mother and faces her on the tower. Meanwhile, after one more tree
creature sacrifices himself to save the three fairies, Flittle flies into the organ to sacrifice herself,
causing her essence to fill the organ with flowers that stop the powder from spreading. Knotgrass
and Thistlewit then fly in Gerda's face, causing her to fall off the balcony to her death.
Aurora runs up to stop Maleficent from killing Ingrith, saying she knows that she is not
as evil as they say she is. Ingrith then fires an arrow at Aurora, but Maleficent takes the hit and
disintegrates. As Aurora weeps, Ingrith tells her that she is the one who spread the stories about
Maleficent being evil, as she wanted to take control of the Moors by wiping out the creatures
there. Aurora's tears then cause Maleficent to regenerate into her powerful phoenix form. She
causes the nearby tower to collapse, and Ingrith makes one last cowardly move by throwing
Aurora off the tower. Maleficent goes to save her, and they tumble across the ground. As Ingrith
tries to escape, she is found by Borra and the other fairies. Outside, Maleficent asks Phillip if he
truly loves Aurora, and he says he truly does. Maleficent gives her blessing, and Lickspittle
comes to give her the cursed knife that Ingrith used. Maleficent breaks the curse, causing the
spindle to disappear and for John to wake up. Ingrith is then dropped out of the castle through
vines before Maleficent turns her into a goat for her punishment. Phillip is happy to see his father
again, and they both decide they'll wait to let Ingrith turn human again.
Aurora and Phillip are officially married, with Maleficent walking her down the aisle,
and the humans and fairies are integrated into both kingdoms. Knotgrass and Thistlewit argue
over what color Aurora's dress should be until a nearby flower turns it blue, implying that Flittle
might still be alive. Maleficent goes to rejoin the other fairies as she bids the new couple
farewell, but cheekily promises to be back for their baby's christening. The film ends with

Jauhari (2010: 34) “metode deskriptif secara harfiah adalah metode yang

research without change the object. Gay (1976) claims that “descriptive method is the
research which is enveloping of way to answer the question in a research”. This research
also used a qualitative method. Nyoman (2004: 47) state that “qualitative method in the

this person called actor or actress. Whereas the characterization can be called human

characters, the action that they did, and also from their thought and feelings. That mean

According to Kennedy and Gioia, there are some types of characters. They are
flat, round, major, minor, protagonist, and antagonist (78). The writer will take a sample
of this research. Main character in this movie is Maleficent, same as the title of the
movie. The minor character is characters who supported the major character. The writer
selected several minor characters such as: Queen Ingrith (antagonist), Aurora, Diaval,
Prince Phillip, and Gerda (flat characters). Borra and Percival (round characters). They
all have an important role to build and develop the characterization of main character.

DISSCUSSION
This chapter discussed the collecting data from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie and
4.1 The Developing Characterization of Main Maleficent in the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
Movie.
According to Luxembourg (1991: 141) said that “everything which is doing by the
characters in the story has purpose to give direction to the reader to get the essence of story.”
From that statement, it means that every characters have important role to build and developing
story. Besides that, Sudjiman (1990: 58) said “characterization is a way to create the image of
character, then portray of characterization can be seen by the action of characters, the statement
of characters, the thought of character, the physical of character and what the characters says and
what character thought about him or herself.” It means, character and characterization is
Main character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie is Maleficent, like the tittle of the
(00.04.38-00.05.35) Once upon a time... or perhaps twice upon a time, for you may
For some reason, the mistress of evil and protector of the Moors...
was still hated after all this time. True, she had cursed the princess,
Aurora... but that was before she found light in the heart of a human
child... and raised the girl as her own. After all, it was Maleficent's
love which broke that very same curse. But that detail was somehow
mysteriously forgotten. For as the tale was told over and again
Based on Nurgiyantoro (1995: 1760177) “a main character appears in the most of story,
either as subject or object. In other words, the main character is the most widely told characters.
The volume of occurrence of the main characters is more than the other characters. So the main
character usually plays an important role in event told. In this movie, Maleficent is appears in the
most of story. From the beginning of the story, narrator has explained about Maleficent and
mentioned some of Maleficent's characterization, such as the sentences "mistress of evil and
Main character is the protagonist, too. Many people misunderstand that the protagonist
must be kind in order to be liked by the audience. But in this movie, Maleficent is liked by the
audience, but she also a witch who is feared by all humans in the story. In Maleficent: Mistress
of Evil, Maleficent was initially considered an 'evil' due to rumors circulating. Therefore, the
writer decided, apart from being the protagonist, Maleficent also has a dynamic character that
can change according to the required storyline. Kennedy and Gioia, (1147) quoted:
“Aristotle observes that the protagonist, the hero or chief character of a tragedy, is a
person of “high estate,” apparently a king or queen or other member of a royal family. In thus
being as keenly interested as contemporary dramatist in the private lives of the powerful, Greek
dramatists need not be accused of snobbery. It is the nature of tragedy that the protagonist must
fall from power and from happiness; his high estate gives him a place of dignity to fall from and
perhaps makes his fall seem all the more a calamity in that it involves an entire nation or people.
In Maleficent: Mistress of Evil the main character is assisted by many other characters in
developing the storyline of the movie. That means, Maleficent is assisted by many characters in
each of its own character developments which can affect the storyline.

Time Dialog
(00.17.55-00.18.32) Aurora: I'm just asking you to trust me. Please give him a
chance. Let us prove you wrong. Philip is
thoughtful... he's very kind...
Maleficent: Kind of what?
Aurora: The king and queen are celebrating tonight... and
they have invited both of us to the castle.
Maleficent: You want me to meet his parents?
Aurora: It's just a dinner.
Maleficent: They don't want me in Ulstead. Why on earth would I
go?
Aurora: Because his mother wishes to meet mine. Please.
refuse what aurora wanted. Therefore, the aurora plays an important role in the development of
Maleficent's character.
(00.23.36)
Maleficent guarding Aurora and Diaval with her wings in the middle of the bridge.
After that scene, Maleficent, Aurora, and Diaval come to Ulstead Kingdom for invited
the dinner. But all everything starts to go mess when Queen Ingrith, the antagonist in this movie,
fuels Maleficent and makes Maleficent wrathful. This causes the relationship between Maleficent
and Aurora broke up because Aurora believes that Maleficent has cursed King John. Maleficent
tries to fly go to the kingdom of the Moors but she shot by an iron ball by Gerda. She was injured
and fell into the sea. But she was saved by another fairy who look like her. That is Conall,
In this story, Maleficent becomes a very influential character in the storyline. In addition
to his strong character, he also just found out about his origins. You could say that this film tells
a lot about Maleficent who is looking for her own identity. He is swayed by several characters,
such as Aurora and Conall. Conall explains that Maleficent is the strongest fairy because of the
last descendant of The Phoenix. Maleficent tries to analyze herself in the den of the fairies while
waiting for her illness to recover. In that scene, Conall again asks for help to fight for peace. but
Time Dialog
(00.46.04-00.49.34) Conall: Let me show you who we are. (Whooshing) We're Dark
Fey. Same as you. We're all that remain. Unseen here,
far away from mankind. Look! As more human
kingdoms emerged, we went into hiding... from every
corner of the earth... doing what we had to, to survive.
But many were lost. Only a few generations ago... our
kind roamed every part of the world. The Tundra. The
Forest. The Jungle. The Desert. Now, our only refuge is
here... in this cave. Our nest of origin. Those children
should be soaring over the trees and rivers. Instead,
they are raised in exile.
Maleficent I could protect them
:
Conall: How? By waging war against the humans?
Maleficent I've been at war with them my whole life.
:
Conall: Not all of them. There was one you raised as your own.
Maybe we don't have to hide from the humans. Maybe
we can exist without fear... and war. Find a way
together.
Maleficent That will never happen.
:
(00.22.30- 00.23.07) Conall: The Phoenix. It is said the Dark Fey began with her...

descendants. Her blood is your own. You are her. In
your hands, you hold the power of life and death...
destruction and rebirth. But nature's greatest power is
the power of true transformation. You transformed
when you raised Aurora. When you found love... in the
middle of your pain. I'm asking you to take all of your
fury... all of your pain... and not use it. Help us broker
peace with the humans. Because peace... could be the
Dark Fey's final transformation. The Moors are our
last true nature on
earth. And yet you named a human as queen. A
daughter you cared for.
Maleficent I have no daughter. She has chosen her side.
:
In the half of movie, Conall was died because of saving Maleficent. That affected
Maleficent and she decided to grant Conall's request who wanted to fight to find peace for the
fairies. Maleficent goes to war and comes face to face with Queen Ingrith, the antagonist.
Maleficent was almost extinct due to Tomb Bloom's arrows and iron filings by Queen Ingrith,
but Aurora's tears brought Maleficent back and even turned into the Phoenix.
(01.39.09)
So, Maleficent's character development is caused by minor characters who are also
involved in each storyline. Apart from being caused by the situation and condition of the main
character that must change and develop from beginning to end, Maleficent's character is also
assisted by many other characters. Besides that, the search for identity and origin of Maleficent
becomes something interesting in this movie. Maleficent's transformation into The Phoenix
become the climax of the Maleficent’s character and also ended the conflict between humans and
fairies.
In this research, the writer will discuss about several character from the movie and type
of characterization that which can be a function in the development of the story. Pope (2005:133)
suggests that there are two categories of character; (a) major character is an important figure at
the center of the story's action or theme. The major character is sometimes called a protagonist
whose conflict with an antagonist may spark the story's conflict; (b) minor character is a
character that support the major character, the function of it is to illuminate the major character.
Main character has been analyzed in the explanation above, then the writer will explain about
several characters which are minor characters from the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie and
According to Kennedy and Gioia (1976: 68) say “In most fiction—even the greatest—
minor characters tend to be flat instead of round. Why? Rounding them would cost time and
space; and so enlarged, they might only distract us from the main characters”. From that
statement, it can be concluded that minor characters are flat charater and round characters that
the writer has discussed above. On the flat characters there are Aurora, Diaval, Prince Phillip,
King John and Gerda. While the round characters have Borra and Percival. Beside that there an
antagonist character, name is Queen Ingrith. Antagonist characters are also included in the minor
characters. These characters have important roles in the development of the story.
a. Queen Ingrith
Queen Ingrith is the antagonist in the movie. She is queen from Ulstead Kingdom, the
mother of Prince Phillip and wife of King John. Queen Ingrith's character is a manipulative
character who spreads malicious rumors about the evil witch and a princess she cursed. It is the
story of Maleficent and Aurora in the first movie with titled ‘Maleficent’. At dinner, she
deliberately incited Maleficent to anger and create chaos in King John's kingdom.
Time Dialog
(00.27.53-00.33.38) Prince Phillip: (Clears throat) Such a warm spell of weather,
isn't it?
Aurora It certainly is.
King John: Shoo! Well, we have a small gift for Philip and
Aurora... to celebrate their glorious future
together. Hmm?
Queen Ingrith: Oh, I simply can't wait to have a little one running
through the castle again.
Maleficent: This castle?
Queen Ingrith: Yes, of course. This will be their home
King John: .I hear Aurora has a castle of her own.
Aurora: Yes, sir, I do.
Queen Ingrith: Yes... I'm curious. How did Aurora become Queen
of the Moors?
Maleficent: I made her queen.
Prince Phillip: Her castle is quite stunning. You must see it.
Queen Ingrith: Yes, but in fact, she has another castle. Does she
not?
Prince Phillip: Mother...
Queen Ingrith: One in the Moors, and one left behind by her
father. King Stefan, was it not?
Aurora: That castle was never my home. It was given to
the people.
Queen Ingrith: So, you're also a true princess. Even though
Stefan died. Was killed? Remind me, did he die or
was he killed
Maleficent: Both
King John: Yes, you're right, it is very warm recently
Queen Ingrith: Because I remember the story of a baby. A baby
cursed to sleep... and never wake up.
King John: Really? Who would do such a terrible thing to an
innocent child?
Maleficent: Well, there are many who prey on the innocent.
I'm sure your kind would agree
King John: What do you mean, my kind?
Queen ingrith: She means humans.....
Maleficent: There are fairies missing from the Moors
Prince Phillip: What I'm missing is some wine.
Maleficent: Stolen by human poachers
King John: That's the first I've heard of it
Maleficent: Someone gave the order
Queen Ingrith: It sounds as if you're accusing the king.
Prince Phillip: No, she never said that.
King John: Wait... Sorry, who would steal a fairy?
Percival: Your Majesty, I must report that two peasants
were found dead... just outside the Moors. They'd
been missing for several days
King John: I see.
Maleficent: Yes, we all see
Queen Ingrith: The borders are open, but humans are not
welcome. Isn't that right?
Aurora: What exactly are you implying, Your Majesty?
Queen Ingrith: Innocent men are being slaughtered on the
Moors... and she's talking about fairies.
Maleficent: (Screeching) Contain your animal. Or I will.
Queen Ingrith: If I didn't know better, I'd say you were making a
threat.
Maleficent: Well, do you?
Queen Ingrith: Do I what?
Maleficent: Know better?
King John. Enough.
Aurora: (Whispers) Put her down. Please, put her down.
(Cat yowls)
King John: We're here to celebrate
Queen Ingrith: Forgive me. he's right. Let's not forget why we're
here. The start of a new life for Aurora. Cheers
Aurora and Cheers.
Philip:
Queen Ingrith: You have done an admirable job, Maleficent...
going against your own nature to raise this child.
But now... Aurora will finally get... the love of a
real family. A real mother. Because the one thing
I regret... is never having a daughter of my own.
But tonight changes that. Tonight, I consider
Aurora my own.
Queen Ingrith (All screaming) Guards! We have opened our
home to a witch!
Aurora: Stop!
Maleficent: There is no union. There will be no wedding.
Queen Ingrith: We must protect the king!
King John: Maleficent, please, stop now
Queen Ingrith: John, I'm so frightened.
King John: Ah! What has she done to me?
Prince Phillip: Father!
Queen Ingrith: John.
Maleficent: We go home.
Queen Ingrith: John! It's a curse. It's a curse! Maleficent has
cursed the king!
Aurora: What have you done?
Maleficent: I've done nothing. Aurora, we go home now.
Aurora! Aurora!
Aurora: Wake him! Wake him, please.
After that scene Queen Ingrith pretending to be sadness by King John's curse and
blaming Maleficent for everything that happened. She also pretending to kiss King John on the
advice of Prince Phillip because they know the maleficent curse can be refuted by a 'true love
kiss'. but what really happened was, Queen Ingrith whispered cruel words to King John.
Time Dialog
(00.35.16-00.36.40) Queen Ingrith: Please, leave His Majesty his dignity. We all saw
what Maleficent did to him.
Aurora: ( Quietly) I'm so sorry
Queen Ingrith: A curse upon our king is a curse upon this kingdom.
All he wanted was peace.
Aurora This is all my fault.
Queen Ingrth: You have nothing to apologize for, my dear.
Maleficent is a threat to everyone. Especially you.
We'll do our best to protect you.
Prince Phillip: There must be a way to reverse this. Mother, could
you try kissing him? True love and all that.
Queen Ingrith: I doubt that would work.
Prince Phillip: It could save him.
Queen Ingrith: A kiss is just a kiss.
Prince Phillip: Please, Mother
Queen Ingrith: Very well. (Whispering) You wanted peace... now
rest in peace forever. I told you. This is no fairy tale.
After that scene, Queen Ingrith orders Gerda to kill Maleficent and begins prepare for
war during Prince Phillip and Aurora's wedding. From the beginning he did not approve of
Prince Phillip and Aurora's marriage because it would bring peace while Queen Ingrith's revenge
against the fairy people had not been carried out. So she planned to stick a needle into King John
who had been cursed so he couldn't wake up. Queen Ingrith doesn't like Maleficent and the
fairies because of their bitter experiences in the past. this caused him to be hostile to all the
fairies.
Time Dialog
(01.13.17-01.15.12) Queen Ingrith As you do, Aurora. A human who has betrayed her kind.
Aurora: You put the curse on the king.
Queen Ingrith: Oh, dear. You may be queen... but you are very young.
Ruling humans is a bit more complicated... than
running around barefoot with flowers in your hair.
When I was young... my family's kingdom bordered the
Moors. And one particularly harsh winter... our crops
died... and the people began to suffer. And as we looked
over our walls... we could see the fairies thriving. My
brother and I believed we should take what we needed...
while my father, the king, sought their kindness.
Choosing peace over our people, he sent my brother to
do his bidding. He never came back. Those savages...
creatures who could barely grunt, let alone engage in
talks, killed him. I don't believe that. Our people
became fearful. They overthrew my father. The land fell
into chaos. I was cast out. Forced by fate into marriage
with King John of Ulstead. Another weak king speaking
of tolerance and civility. And now, my own son...
corrupted with visions of harmony. But peace will not
be our downfall. (Gasps and mutters) Now lock her up.
A war is coming.
Antagonist in this movie plays an important role in disrupting the path taken by the
protagonist or main character. Queen Ingrith becomes the real 'evil' in this story. She is greedy
and wants to rule over all the kingdoms. Indeed, that is the role of the antagonist, to disrupt the
path of the main role so that it does not always run smoothly. It can be analyzed from the
(01.35.17)
Time Dialog
(01.35.00-01.36.10) Queen Ingrith: Do you know what makes a great leader, Aurora?
The ability to instill fear in your subjects... and then
use that fear... against your enemies. (Breathes
deeply) So... I spread the story of the evil witch... and
the princess she cursed. It didn't matter who woke
Sleeping Beauty. They were all terrified. And the
story became legend. (Yelling) I know you think I'm a
monster. But what I did to the king, to Maleficent, to
my son... I did for Ulstead. You are a traitor to your
kind, and you will pay for it. Maleficent is dead! We
will never again live in fear! (Aurora screaming)
Ulstead is free at last!
In the end, as in fairy tales, the antagonist will surely lose. Queen Ingrith was defeated by
Maleficent and was given what she deserved. Queen Ingrith was turned into a goat after being
bullied by the other fairies. Queen Ingrith's role here serves as a troublemaker for Maleficent's
character. This character serves as a trigger to conflict for Maleficent, the main character, and is
one of the characters that brings up the best version of the main character.
b. Aurora
Aurora is Maleficent's adopted child who was raised from her child. Aurora is the queen
of the Moors Kingdom and she’s the one and only human in there. She is the one who carries out
the duties of the Moors Kingdom such as listening to the complaints of his people as well as
being the liaison between the Moors Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms.
(00.07.18)
Time Dialog
(00.06.51-00.07.26) Aurora Next item of business, the missing fairies. I've sent more
: sprites to search the Tomb Bloom field. They'll report back
to me at nightfall. We will keep searching until we find them.
Lief: (Muttering)
Aurora Please don't raise your roots at me, Lief. Crushing humans
: with branches is not going to help.
Diaval: (Cawing)
Aurora Diaval, you're supposed to be on my side.
:
Lief: (Grunts)
Aurora (Aurora sighs) Well, I'm Queen of the Moors, and I am a
: human. (Mutters) We must all learn a little kindness.
From the dialog above, Aurora is firm and kind. She wanted to spread kindness even
though she was in order. Aurora wants unite the two kingdoms, the Moors Kingdom and the
Ulstead Kingdom, the kingdom next to the Moors that also the kingdom owned by Prince Phillip,
(00.09.48)
Time Dialog
(00.09.37-00.10.04) Aurora: I wanted to ask you something. Do you think there
could be a union between Ulstead and the Moors?
Prince Phillip: A union?
Aurora: To connect both lands. To bring harmony and peace.
I've been imagining a bridge.
Prince Phillip: Oh. A bridge? Yes, a bridge. A union's a wonderful
idea... if both sides are willing.
Aurora: ( Sighs ) Well, I'm working on that part.
In the middle of the story of this movie, Aurora and Maleficent broke up and Aurora
lived in the kingdom of Ulstead to prepare for her wedding with Prince Phillip. but then he
sensed something odd and found out about what was going on in the kingdom. Aurora is also the
one who reveals the truth about the curse experienced by King John to Prince Phillip.
In the end of story, Aurora and Prince Phillip finally married and were able to unite the
two kingdoms because the antagonist (Queen Ingrith) had lost her battle against Maleficent.
Aurora has a flat character because from the beginning to the end of story she sticks to her
direction who wants to unite the two kingdoms and spread peace. Her character does not change
and only has three characters, that is kindness, emphatic and brave. Aurora is one who plays an
important role in the development of the story in this movie because she becomes a very
important person for Maleficent and that’s makes many effects on Maleficent’s character. She is
the only person who can melt Maleficent. Therefore, the function of Aurora’s character is very
Time Dialog
(01.41.31-01.42.20) Prince Phillip: It ends. There will be no more fighting. Ulstead will
never attack the Moors again. And from this day on...
we move forward... and find our way... in peace.
Together.
Aurora: Today, there will be a wedding. Not just a union of
two people... but a union of two kingdoms. And all
are invited... all are safe... and all are welcome.
(All Murmuring)
c. Diaval
Diaval is Maleficent servant. He was the form of a black crow. Diaval is extremely loyal
to Maleficent. He officiates for finding information for Maleficent and guarding Aurora. He
became Maleficent's right hand since the first sequel of the Maleficent movie. Sometimes he
Time Dialog
(00.12.10-00.12.56) Diaval: Mistress, I have a little bit of news.
Maleficent Well, on with it.

Diaval: It's nothing of any real consequence... and it's
certainly no reason to overreact. It's just that...
Prince Philip has, um...
Maleficent Disappeared?
:
Diaval: No. No. Phillip has …
Maleficent Yellow fever? No, wait! Leprosy!

d. Prince Phillip
Prince Phillip is Aurora’s fiancé. His character is brave, kindness, and does not hesitate to

Time Dialog
(01.26.24-01.27.14) Prince Phillips: Mother! You have to stop this.
Queen Ingrith We are at the war.
Prince Phillip: This isn’t war. It’s a massacre.
Queen Ingrith: Philip, you don't understand. These creatures stand
between us... and everything we need to survive
Prince Phillip: You're wrong. We can stand together
Quenn Ingrith: Well, you're a fool to believe that. You don't know
what it takes to fight for our kind.
Prince Phillip: You lied to me.
Queen Ingrith: I am protecting the kingdom... and your throne
Prince Phillip: What about Father? Were you protecting him, too?
Queen Ingrith: The prince is not feeling well. See him to his
chambers. Now.
After dialog above, Prince Phillip try to confess Percival and made him realize that this
was not the war that King Stefan, his father wanted. Prince Phillip really respects and loves his
father because they both have the same desire, which is to unite the Ulstead kingdom and the
Moors kingdom.
(01.32.06)
Time Dialog
(01.31.55-01.32.30) Prince Phillips: Stand down! (the sword on Bora’s neck) This is not
my fight. My mother wanted a war, and you're giving
it to her. I won't allow her hatred to ruin my kingdom
or yours. (Breathes deeply) There will be no Fey
blood on my hands. (sword dropped to the ground)
Prince Phillip plays an important role in changing Percival’s character, which will be
explained later in the round character. That's why the writer included the Prince Phillip in this
research, because the function of characterization in the development of the story can be spelled
out like this. When one of the character changes because of another character, it can also change
e. King John
King John is a King from Ulstead Kingdom and also Prince Phillip’s father. He has flat
character. King John has the same desire as Prince Phillip and Aurora which is to unite the two
kingdoms and also loves peace. From the beginning of the story he has been very supportive of
Prince Phillip and Aurora's marriage because he dreamed of a union and was very proud of
Prince Phillip for granting the wish. King John has a kind character. He hates war and upholds
peace. At the end of the story even though he saw his wife, Queen Ingrith, turned into a goat by
Maleficent, he did not moan and knew what his wife did was wrong. So he was proud of Prince
Phillip who had united the two kingdoms, Ulstead and Moors.
(00.19.14)
Time Dialog
(00.14.47-00.15.00) Prince Phillip: Father. Mother.
King John: Well? What did she say?

united at last.
Prince Phillip: Yes.
f. Gerda
Gerda is Queen Ingrith's servant who was very loyal to her. She is in charge of gathering
information and delivering news in this movie. She became Queen Ingrith's right hand who tried
to kill Maleficent by shooting an iron ball at Maleficent. She also ordered to play a piano that has
been set to emit an extraction of iron powder and tomb bloom flower powder (a flower that only
grows from the tomb of fairies) that can destroy the fairies.
(00.34.09)
Time Dialog
(00.39.52-00.40.26) Queen Ingrith: Tell me she's dead.
Gerda: The iron pierced her flesh. She fell into the river and
went over the falls.
Queen Ingrith: Then where is her head?
Gerda: There was something else. Another creature. It
pulled her from the depths of the sea.
Queen Ingrith: What did it look like?
Gerda: Her. It carried her up into the sky.
Queen Ingrith Hmm. A wounded animal lashes out and now she's
not alone. We must be ready for war.
(01.17.24) (01.18.10) (01.28.03)
This scene when Gerda play the piano. When she pressing the floral-patterned piano
keys, the iron powder that has been extracted with tomb bloom will come out of the holes on the
piano. This can make the fairies return to their natural habitat, like Lief who returned to being a
tree and Flittle who deliberately sacrificed herself into the hole so that she would turn back into a
flower and close all the holes for the tomb bloom powder to come out. Gerda died because she
fell from a height. Gerda belongs to flat character because she is loyal to Queen Ingrith, just as
Diaval to Maleficent. Her character influences the storyline in the movie because she almost
g. Borra
Borra is a dark fey warrior. He became one of the fairies who provoked other fairies to
war with humans. Actually, Borra was acting like that because he wanted to protect the fairies
(00.43.32)
Time Dialog
(00.42.23-00.44.21) Borra: If Conall hadn't found her, she would be dead. They
tried to kill her with this. (Iron hissing) Do you hear
it? Do you hear it? Huh? It's a message from the
humans. I hear it loud and clear. Time for us to die.
Conall: Humans have used iron against us for centuries.
Borra: And we are almost extinct because of it.
Conall: Killing peasants on the Moors will only lead to more
conflict, Borra.
Borra: They've pulled the iron from the earth... made their
swords and shields, drove us underground. But this...
This will finish us.
Conall: Our people are safe here for now.
Borra: But for how long? The humans will find us. They will
not stop. I call for war. (All grunting in agreement) I
call for war! Right now! ( All grunt in agreement )
Conall: There are too many humans. ( Clatters ) Too many
kingdoms.
Borra: Conall, they will keep finding new ways to destroy
us.
Conall: Borra: We can't win. We can't win! Not this way.
Borra: No. You're wrong, Conall. We have something they
didn't plan on. We have her. (Look at Maleficent)
She holds powers none of us possess
(01.15.39-01.16.05) Borra: Conall wanted peace... and they filled him with iron.
Now, we will have our war. Our fight begins now!
(All grunt in agreement )
Dark Fey: We will rise together! ( All grunt in agreement )
Dark Fey: We fight together.
Borra: And we will show them no mercy! ( All grunting)
In the dialogues above, Borra wants a war between Dark Fey and humans and was
realized because Conall, one of the dark feys, died as a result of saving Maleficent from an iron
ball attack. This is what make Maleficent trigger to war with human, especially Queen Ingrith.
But after the war was over, Borra and the other dark fey warriors decided to return to home and
accept humans.
(01.46.54)
Borra has a round character who at first of the story he really doesn't like humans because
he thinks humans want to exterminate fairies. He was the one who provoked the dark fey
warriors to fight against the humans. But at the end of the story, because the fairies and humans
make a peace and the was over, Borra decides to side with humans during Prince Phillip and
Aurora's wedding. He also feeling proud of Maleficent who is willing to go to war with him.
h. Percival
Percival is general in the Ulstead Kingdom. He is Prince Phillip’s friend and is in charge
of guarding the kingdom. At the beginning of the movie, he really doesn't like Maleficent and the
fairies because rumors are circulating that the fairies are dangerous and must be exterminated.
Rumors are revolved that Maleficent is a human killer because he has found several humans died
in the Moors Kingdom who were killed by fairies. Actually, this is not wrong because the human
died because killed by Borra, not Maleficent. It made the rumors of fairies being assassins even
stronger and made some humans scare the fairies. Percival is one of them.
(00.13.28)
Time Dialog
(00.13.05-00.13.52) Percival: So, tell me, sire... am I to be a best man, or did you
choose a creature from the Moors?
Prince Phillip: General, if that's your way of asking me if she said
yes, then I,
Percival: uh... I know she said yes, sire. What human wouldn't
want to leave that place?
Prince Phillip: What do you have against Moor folk, Percival?
Percival: "Moor folk"? Is that what we're calling them now?
Winged beasts, murderous trees.
Prince Phillip: Guard your tongue, General. You know nothing
about them.
Percival: I know that Maleficent is a killer of men... destroyer
of armies. Or so the story goes.
Prince Phillip: She's not like that.
Percival: It's my job to protect this kingdom. And I will do so,
old friend... without hesitation. (Walk on) Open the
gates!
(01.27.49)
In this scene, Prince Phillip try to trying to convince Percival that his mother,
Queen Ingrith, had cursed King John and started a war between humans and fairies.
Time Dialog
(01.27.47-01.27.54) Prince Phillip: My mother cursed the king so she could destroy the
Moor folk. Your men are paying heavily for it.
After that scene, Percival is still trying to kill Borra with an iron ball. Percival almost got
killed by it. But Prince Phillip saves him and disenchant Percival that this war between humans
At the end of the movie, Percival is seen bowing his head to Maleficent as a form of
respect for Maleficent. So, Percival has a round character because at the beginning of the story in
this movie he hates Maleficent and the fairies. But after knowing the truth of his story, he
changed his perspective and started to accept Maleficent and respect him as well. In realizing
Percival's role, Prince Phillip's role is needed to develop the characters and stories in this movie.
Although not all movies have a happy ending, in fairy tales like this there must be a
happy ending, where evil is defeated by kindness and sincerity. This is because fairy tales always
end like that. Moreover, the story of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie is re-arrangement from
the fairy tale that is Sleeping Beauty, a children's fairy tale, with a different perspective.
CHAPTER V
This chapter provides the conclusion from presented analysis in the previous chapter. It
5.1 Conclusion

characterization in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie, the writer analyzes the characterization in
that movie uses Kennedy and Gioia: Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry and Drama to
support drama and movie theory and Lois Tyson: Critical Theory Today for supporting

The writer analyze character such as Maleficent for main character and protagonist in the
movie. Although Maleficent in this film does not become the protagonist in the sense of good
character as in general, but Maleficent can still be liked by the audience because of his amazing
role that can manage the plot and development of the story well. The writer also found that
maleficent chose a round character because his role could change according to the needs of the
story. Then there is Queen Ingrith who play as antagonist in this movie. She becomes villain who
spreading rumors that Maleficent and the fairies are creatures that must be exterminated. The
role of the antagonist is intended to prevent the protagonist from achieving his goals.
The writer also adds some characters such as Aurora, Diaval, Prince Phillip, King John,
and Gerda for flat character. They play an important role in the development of the story because
their function is significance to develop other characters that have an effect on the story in the
movie. Aurora has a lot of involvement in Maleficent's character. There are Borra and Percival
who have round character because they character change in the end of the movie. Their character
changes are caused by other characters who can also develop the story.
