| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of conflict and the factors causing
conflict experienced by the main character in Finn, a novel by Honey Dee. The
research problems in this study include two main questions: what forms of conflict
are found in the novel Finn, and what factors cause these conflicts to occur. This
study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis methods, with conflict
theory as the analytical framework. Data collection was carried out through
literature study by reading and recording relevant data from the novel in relation
to the research focus. The results show that Finn portrays complex social conflicts
through its characters, particularly the conflicts experienced by Finn as a child
with autism. The most dominant form of conflict is material-based conflict,
including role conflict, value conflict, and policy conflict, often triggered by
differences in perspective between Liz and Finn’s family. Destructive, open, and
hidden conflicts further intensify the tension in the story. The main factors causing
conflict include individual differences, cultural differences, differences in interests,
and changes in societal values. Overall, the conflicts not only serve as the driving
force of the plot but also reflect social realities, revealing stigma, discrimination,
and injustice toward children with special needs. | en_US |
