Abstract

This study aims to analyze the character development of Louis Creed in Stephen King's novel Pet Sematary. Three problems will be analyzed in this study: (1) Louis Creed's character at the beginning of the novel; (2) the character development of Louis Creed; and (3) factors that influence the character development of Louis Creed. The writer uses the objective theory of M.H. Abrams and Geoffrey Galt Harpham because this study deals with character. The writer also uses the personality development theory of Elizabeth Hurlock to analyze the character development that occurs to the main character and the factors that influence character development. The research method used is descriptive analysis, in which the primary source of this study is the novel. This study found that Louis Creed experienced character development. At the story's beginning, Louis Creed is described as a brave person, positive thinking, honest, romantic towards his family, patient, calm, altruistic and caring for others. Along the way, Louis Creed experiences character development for the worse. He becomes someone who has paranoid, easily suspicious of others, a liar, jealous, emotional, overthinking, and selfish. The factors that influence the development of Louis Creed's character come from external factors, namely family factors. Other factors that influence the development of Louis Creed's character are the development of significant people in his life and developments in the environment. Its development is due to the stories of neighbors, the Church's death, and Gage Creed's death.
