CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
     A character is a participant, actor, or character in a story, usually a person but perhaps their personal identity comes from a work of fiction. Characters could be classified into two groups, they are the main or main characters and small characters. The main character is a character who are a prioritize in the story made. The main character played an important role in a film story or novel. Minor figures or we are often called supporters of drama, novels and even films, they have no important role. Characters are the people who present in a narrative film or drama that are interpreted by the reader as being endowed with moral qualities and dispositions expressed in what they say and what they do in action.
From the statement above it could be concluded that character are the way of life on human being. In this research, the researcher only used character element. In this study, the researcher only focused on the characteristics the main character of the novel the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) or Lewis Carroll, was the author of Through the Looking Glass. He born on Jan. 27, 1832, Lewis Carroll passed a happy childhood in the rectories of his father, the Reverend Charles Dodgson. For his nine sisters and two brothers he frequently made up games and wrote stories and poems, some of which fore shadow the delights of Alice.
In the novel, the character shows that she dominantly expresses the struggle of the main character, not only to survive in that a dangerous adventure, but also to learn and became a woman with new feelings about her own subjectivity.

The subjectivity of women who in that are case could teach that we could be pursue something interesting, break into places where we are not present, try new thing, keep an eye on every phenomenon, tell stories, argue with authority figures, ask too many questions, and walk away from home without worrying about how to return. Although Alice finds herself to live up to others expectations, Alice grows up to be a brave woman and becomes a strong willed hero to choose her own path. Alice could be a role model for woman, playing the character as a brave woman.

1.3 Formulation of Problem

1. What are the characteristics of Alice in the novel The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll?

CHAPTER II RESEARCH METHOD
2.1 Type of the Research
The writer used qualitative research method for this research. Qualitative methodologies are concerned with how the researcher can explore and analysing whatever they believes can be known, and are based upon prior epistemological assumptions. It was library source relating to the topic analysis of the main characters
 Alice's. In collecting the data, the writer used the technique of contents analysis.
The writer determined the elements of the story relating to the main character. In analysing the data, the writer did some steps. First, the writer read the novel the Looking Glass repeatedly. Second, the writer analysing the main characters. Third, the writer read some references which are relevant with the research. And finally, the writer searched some sources from the internet.

 CHAPTER III RESULT
3.1 The characteristics contained the main character in each problem portrayed in the novel The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
In this research, the researcher only focuses on the main character who is the central character in the novel Through the Looking Glass. In this research analysis the main character or personality of Alice. Alice has a reasonable, well trained and polite character. from the start the brow is a middle class Victorian woman. Alice is the perfect foil or counter to all the unsocial and ill-behaved eccentrics she encounters in Wonderland. Alice's constant resources and strength are her courage, her dignity, her
 candor his prudence, and art of conversation all let him down but when the chips run out, Alice reveals something to the Queen of Hearts that Alice has all the virtues of Victoria. Including the ancient capacity for rationalization but it is Alice's common sense that makes these bickering wonderland creatures seem perverted despite what they perceive to be their adult identities Alice doesn't fit into conventional stereotypes.
Alice is neither an angel nor a brat, she is simply a woman of extraordinary curiosity, but that is balanced by restraint. Alice is also balanced in other respects. For example, when controlling her growth and shrinkage, she only tasted cakes labeled "eat me" and there was never a hint that she would try to use her size gains to control his destiny and establish the rules of dictatorial behavior for Wonderland.
Caterpillar finds joy in teasing Alice with her chatty, formal verb play and the brusque Duchess turns into a corrupt, ridiculous set of rules but behind the joy they could see, Alice felt hatred as well as anger. Alice isn't too simplistic to take away the gruesome aspect of Wonderland's character. On the other hand, when Alice imagined her personality in a dream, Alice saw herself as simple, sweet, innocent and confused.
A strong moral conscience is at work in all of Alice's responses to the wonderland, but she on the other hand shows the insensitivity of a child in discussing her cat Dinah with a frightened mouse in a puddle of tears. In general, Alice's modesty owes much to Victoria's repressively domesticated feminine passivity. Little by little Alice's naturalness, sense of responsibility and other good qualities will emerge on her journey through the wonderland, especially in experimental scenes. Alice has a character with her virtue, curiosity, courage, kindness, intelligence, politeness, dignity,
 and a sense of justice, she even has a motherly nature. but his constant and universal human characteristic is.a simple miracle that all children (and living children in most adults) can easily recognize.
