Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the conflicts experienced by the main character in the film "Do Revenge" using Kenney's conflict theory and Freytag's plot theory. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative, which allows the researcher to examine and describe the emerging conflicts in depth. Data were collected through in-depth observation of the film and analyzed based on the predetermined theoretical framework. The research findings reveal a total of 56 conflicts experienced by the main character, categorized into two main types: internal conflicts and external conflicts. The total internal conflicts identified are 32 internal conflicts, reflecting the inner struggles and personal dilemmas of the main character. These internal conflicts involve emotions, feelings, and inner battles faced by the main character when confronting various challenging situations and decisions. Meanwhile, 24 conflicts fall into the category of external conflicts, which include clashes between the main character and other characters or the surrounding environment. These external conflicts involve interactions and confrontations with antagonists as well as external challenges that hinder the main character's goals. This study also aims to understand how these conflicts build the plot in the film "Do Revenge." Using Freytag's plot theory, this research identifies the stages of plot development driven by the conflicts experienced by the main character. The findings demonstrate that both internal and external conflicts play a significant role in shaping the narrative structure and character development. These conflicts not only add tension and drama to the story but also help guide the plot towards its climax and resolution. Thus, this study provides a deeper insight into how conflicts are utilized as essential narrative elements in building the plot and developing characters in the film "Do Revenge." It also highlights how the film's writers and directors use conflicts to reinforce the message they aim to convey to the audience.
