Tokoh Naoko dalam Novel Norwegian Wood Karya Haruki Murakami : "Analisis Pertumbuhan dan Perkembangan Emosional"

Abstract

The research focuses on the emotional dynamics and trauma experienced by Naoko after the death of her best friend, Kizuki. The main issues raised are the influence of trauma on Naoko's emotional changes, and the role of interactions with the characters Watanabe and Reiko in her recovery. This research uses Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory and psychological trauma theory to analyze Naoko's emotional development and the impact of her interpersonal relationships. The research method used is a qualitative approach with text analysis techniques through data in the form of dialogue quotes, behavioral descriptions, and Naoko's interactions with other characters. The content analysis technique was applied to explore Naoko's emotional changes with a focus on trauma and social relationships. The results showed that Naoko's trauma caused serious emotional instability, but the support from Watanabe and Reiko helped Naoko find peace even though her recovery was not perfect. In conclusion, Naoko's trauma not only had a negative impact, but also promoted Naoko's emotional growth through strong and positive social support, especially from Watanabe and Reiko, who always provided care and understanding, thus helping Naoko find new strength and hope within herself.
