Abstract :
This term paper is expected to find out about the guilty feeling of Nora Seed, the character in The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. The discussion in this term paper is applying two approaches, which are intrinsic approach and extrinsic approach. The intrinsic approach consists of the characterization, setting, and plot, while the extrinsic approach consists of guilty feeling as part of psychological approach. By using point of view the third-person limited omniscient, the characterization can be seen. This research explains about the guilty feeling through Nora?s characterization, as well as its relation to the setting and plot. Based on the analysis, the results of the study are as follows. It can be concluded that the guilty feelings through Nora?s characterization are related to neurotic behavior, subjective guilt and the wished to do something differently. She regrets and feels guilty for disappointing other people and it fits her characterization of selfless person as she prioritizes someone else than herself and feels guilty for being unable to help other people. Nora also wants to be happy, but the feeling of guilt by neurotic behavior clouded her judgment of being happy as the feeling of being unable to cope with life?s problems results in feelings of guilt and unhappiness. The journey in the midnight library shows how Nora tried to live another life to do something that people around her want her to do, to ease her regrets and guilty of not doing that in her root life. It is related to the subjective guilt as Nora feeling lonely and isolated from being far away from people she cared about, Joe and Izzy.
