Abstract :
Full of comedy, drama and tragedy makes Waking Ned interesting. It is about a success fraud and there is no punishment for those who do it. Wendy Holden wants to show that money can change everything – someone’s behaviors, their lives – Even, money can turn someone from a life and healthy man into a dead man, like what happen to Ned Devine. Money truly gives big effect in this life. There are some moral problems happen in Waking Ned, such as the endorsement of a big lie, greedy, fraud, etc. The purpose of this study is to analyze what the moral problems faced by Jackie O’Shea, Annie O’Shea, Michael O’Sullivan and Lizzy Quinn. Those moral problems are analyzed based on the theory of moral relativism by Friedrich Nietzsche. Because the characters in Waking Ned seem to act against their own consciences, the writer deconstructed the moral problems. The result of the analysis shows that the phenomenon of lottery game attracts the characters to act hypocritically.
