Abstract :
This study aims to analyze the comparison of characterization, plot, and setting of life and death
instincts in the novel and film All the Bright Places. An intrinsic approach is used to analyze data
such as: characterization, plot, and setting. While the extrinsic approach is used to apply the concept
of life and death instincts displayed in the novel and film All the Bright Places. This research used a
qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive method. In this study, the data sources are the
novel All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven and the film All the Bright Places directed by Brett
Haley. The results of this study show that there are differences between the novel and the film All
the Bright Places, such as: 1) In the novel, the first setting is the high school bell tower, while the
film shows the setting on the bridge; 2) In the novel, it is told that Finch has repeatedly attempted
suicide because of his death instinct, while the film does not really show the side of his death instinct,
but rather displays his life instinct; 3) In the novel, Violet's role greatly changes Finch's life. In
contrast, in the film, Finch is more influential in Violet's life.
