In this thesis, the writer focused her study on the main character in The Sound of Music, Maria. The writer used Rimmon-Kenan?s (2002) theory on the character and characterizations to help analyze Maria. The writer discussed Maria through the characterization shown by her action, her speech, and her appearances. The study reveals that Maria as a young postulant has different characteristics from Maria as a nanny. Therefore it can be concluded that Maria in the movie is a dynamic character.} }
