CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher would like to present the introduction of this
research. There are four sections included in this chapter. They are the background of
the study, objective of the study, problem formulation, and definition of terms. In the
background of the study the researcher explains the reason why the Inside Out film
screenplay becomes the object of the research. The next section is problem
formulation where the researcher will discuss the questions which will be the focus of
the research. Then, there is objective of the study. In objective of the study, the
researcher discusses the aims of the study. The last is definition of terms where the
researcher discusses the meanings of the keywords.
A. Background of the Study
Literature is one of creative works in human’s life. Literature is the portray of
reality and human’s life experiences. In An Introduction to The Study of Literature
book, Hudson (1958) states that “ Literature is a vital record of what men have seen
in life, what they have experienced of it, what they thought and felt about life through
the medium of language”. Rees (1973), in English Literature: An Introduction for
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
2
Foreign Readers, provides another conclusion that literature is a permanent
expression in words of some thought or feeling in ideas about life and the world.
Thus, the readers are able to enhance the knowledge of understanding human’s point
of view in many ways by studying literature.
Other experts develop point of views of literature. Moody (1968) states that
literature springs from our inborn love of telling story, arranging words in pleasing
patterns, expressing in words some special aspects of our human experience. From
several statements above, it can be concluded that literature is human way of
expressing feelings where there is explicit emotions or tones, as well as poem which
is able to be seen from written or spoken form (p.2). Guerin (2011) broadens the
concept of literature from several points as perpetually being used in literary works.
Those points of literary works are setting, plot, character, structure, style, and
atmosphere (pp.6-16).
In this study, the researcher put concern on analyzing a film which has basics of
fictional structures, such as; characters, conflicts, and resolutions. A film always
includes at least one character to fulfill a plotlines so that the story gets more complex
and larger. It can be said that character in the film has big influence on how the film
flows. According to Phillips (2009), a character helps the viewers to understand the
character of the film itself and also to make the viewers involve themselves in the
story (p. 24). The characters have their characterization which can be seen explicitly
or even unseen. This conditions make the researcher analyze literary works from the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
3
conflicts between characters in the film. This study specifically scrutinizes the
characters from a film through their words, facial expressions, and gestures.
However, in order to make a good and understandable film, the player/actor
needs a screenplay to synchronize every single piece of the plot and also synchronize
one character to another. This powerful film from Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar
Animation Studios, Inside Out, is an unusual film. The directors, Pete Docter and
Ronnie del Carmen, collaborate with the well known Paul Ekman as an expert on
Psychology of Universal Emotions. The film which was released on June, 19th 2015,
has brought a scientific world into an animation. Inside Out tells a story about the
struggles of an eleven-year-old Rilley, who has to move to a different city, away from
her friends, away from her hockey league, and has a hard time pretending to be happy
for her parents. This film deals with her two dominant emotions, namely (her) Joy
and Sadness.
In this study, the researcher chooses the interpersonal conflict between Joy and
Sadness as the topic. Since the researcher’s major is in language teaching, later on
when having teenage students, the researcher and also the readers of this study will
have more knowledge in dealing with the students’ mood swing. Nowadays, a lot of
adults think that teenagers are always rebellious. This conditions make teenagers
feeling insecure on telling their interpersonal struggle with their surroundings.
Understanding teenage students struggle on their interpersonal conflict with others
give benefits for teachers and parents to help the students on solving their problems.

The other reason is that this topic has never been discuss by any other studies.
There are several blogs and articles which talking about Inside Out (2015) but it only
refer to the characteristic of Joy and Sadness. Those articles never mention about the
meaning behind Joy and Sadness interpersonal conflict and what it caused toward
their personalities. Analyzing this topic will make the researcher and also the readers
understand how interpersonal conflict will bring great effect on someone’s
personality, especially in teenagers’ period.
B. Objective of the study
The aim of this study is to find the meaning of the interpersonal conflict
experienced by Rilley through her emotions, called Joy and Sadness, as seen in the
screenplay of Pete Docter’s Inside Out (2015).
C. Problem Formulation
The problems of this study can be formulated as follows:
1. How are Joy and Sadness described in Pete Docter’s film, Inside Out?
2. What is the meaning of their interpersonal conflict?
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

D. Definition of Term
1. Interpersonal
Interpersonal is a skill where people is able to communicate with one
another. According to Sullivan, cited in Interpersonal Communication Relating
to Others (2009), interpersonal communication is a distinctive, transactional form
of human communication involving mutual influence, usually for the purpose of
managing relationship (p. 3). Beebes and Redmond (2009) elaborates
interpersonal into a connection which established when someone interact with
another person. This theory is one of the important theory which will be
elaborated into three other theories; the theory of interpersonal relationship,
theory of interpersonal communication, and the theory of conflict.
2. Conflict
Fadipe (2000) sees conflict as a form of disagreement in an establishment
between two individuals or groups who have cause to interact formally or
informally. Similarly, Miller and King (2005), see it as basically a disagreement
between two or more individuals or groups over compatible goals. Beebes and
Redmond (2009) explains that conflict occurs because of the differences of
personality which leads to have a different goals, needs, and experiences (p.216).
This conflict theory from Beebes and Redmond will be used to analyze the
conflict occurs between the two main character. Later on, this theory will be
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
6
elaborate into two ways on how a person sees conflict. The first is to see conflict
through its sources and the resolves of the conflict.
3. Personality
Personality originated from the Latin persona, means a theatrical mask worn
by actor. According to Feist (2009), personality is a pattern of relatively
permanent traits and unique characteristics that give both consistency and
individuality to a person’s behaviour (p. 4). in this study, the theory of
personality by Freud (1927) will be used in order to understand the background
on how conflict occurs between two or more parties. This theory will understand
the background through the person point of view which differs from others’ point
of view.
4. Film Screenplay
Making film needs the processes on transforming written and graphic
sources into film. It takes three forms, one of those is a film screenplay. Phillips
(2009) states that a film screenplay is the very first version of the script.
Screenplay is made before the filming begins. It describes or supplies the setting,
action, vocals including dialogue, and structure (p. 204).

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The chapter consists of three parts; review of related literature, theoretical
framework, and context of the film screenplay. The review of related theory consist
of the theories which function is to support or answering the problem formulations.
The theoretical framework consist of the importance and contribution of the theory on
supporting and solving the problems of the study. The last is context of the film
screenplay, which consists of the background of the primary data.
A. Review of Related Theories
1. Theory of Character and Characterization
a. Character
Abrams (1999), states that characters are the people who represented in
a dramatic or narrative work, who are interpreted by the reader as being
endowed with particular moral, intellectual, and emotional qualities by
inferences from what the persons say and their distinctive ways of saying it -
the dialogue - and from what they do - the action (p. 23).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Forster (1927), differentiates characters into two parts: flat character
and round character. The flat character is presented without much
individualizing detail, and therefore can be fairly adequately described in a
single phrase or sentence. Barnet, Burto, and Cain (2010) add that a flat
character is a static character, who at the end of the story the character is
pretty much what he or she was at the start. Meanwhile, a round character is
complex in temperament and motivation and is represented with subtle
particularity; such a character therefore is as difficult to describe with any
adequacy as a person in real life, and like real persons, is capable of
surprising the reader. In short, round character is dynamic, changing
considerably as the story progresses.
According to Phillips (2009), a character on a film is imaginary
personages in fictional story. A character based on a real person or
combination of traits from several people. Character’s action and language -
and sometimes thoughts, dreams, and fantasies - are the main ways viewers
come to understand the character and to involves the viewers in the story.
b. Characterization
As Rohberger and Woods (1971) state that characterization is a
particular personalities and physical attributes distinguish each character
from other characters. They further explain that characterization is divided
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
9
into two sections. The first section is direct mean which can bee seen from
the character physical appearance. The second section, dramatic means,
shown by the situation where the character is involved, how the character
behaves, and how the character speaks.
Murphy (1972) then adds that there are nine ways to understand
characterization: (1) A characterization can be seen by its personal
description where the author of the novel gives picture of someone form it’s
way of appearing and what the character is wearing. In short, the author
describes a character by its appearances and clothes. (2) A characterization
of a character can be described trough the eyes and opinions of another.
Instead of describing a character directly the author gives a reflected image.
(3) Characterization also can be seen from it’s speech. In this part, the author
usually gives the image from the way the character speaks. Whenever a
character speaks, whenever the character is in conversation with another,
whenever the character puts forward an opinion, the character gives the
reader some clues to his character. (4) Past life also become one of the way
for an author to make a characterization. From past life the author can give
the reader a clue to events that have helped to shape a characterization of a
character. (5) A conversation of other characters and the things that other
characters describe about others characterization also included as one of the
way to understand character’s characterization. When other characters talk
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
10
about a character, the things that the other characters say often give the
reader clue to a character’s characterization. (6) Reaction is a clue to a
characterization by letting the reader understand how the character reacts to
various situations and events. sometimes helps the character to reveal its
characterization from how it react towards something that happen. (7) The
easiest way to make characterization of a character is by the author simply
mention the characterization directly in their novel. (8) Characterization also
comes from the way they think. (9) The last way is mannerism, where the
reader can analyze the character from its habit or mode of behavior (pp. 161-
173).
2. Psychological Approach
Literature is not something that can be analyzed by counting the data or
using an interview - it’s not possible because sometimes the researcher of a
particular literature had passed away. The researcher finds that there are several
approaches that can be used to analyze literary work. One of them is called
Critical Approach from Rohberger and Woods (1971). Critical approach has
several branches of its own. Rohberger and Woods elaborate critical approach
into five other approaches. Those are formalist approach, biographical approach,
sociocultural-historical approach, mythopoeic approach, and psychological
approach (p. 3-15).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
11
This problem of this study is focusing on the interpersonal conflicts between
Joy and Sadness and the meaning of their interpersonal conflicts delivered from
the film screenplay. The conflicts triggered by their inside needs that can not be
fulfilled easily because the existence of others. The screenplay gives clue that
each character has their own needs with different ways on fulfilling their needs.
For that reason, psychological approach is being used to analyze the matters
between Joy and Sadness through psychological point of view. According to
Rohberger and Woods (1971), psychological approach is involving the effort of
the character to locate and demonstrate certain recurrent patterns. Moreover,
psychological approach can also help the readers understand about the thoughts
of the character and its behavior (p. 13). Guerin (2011) adds that psychology
approach is a psychology interpretation which afford many profound clues
toward solving a work’s thematic and symbolic mysteries (p. 201).
3. Personality Theory (Sigmund Freud)
When talking about character, personality will be discussed as it will be seen
in character’s behavior. Freud (1927) states in his book The Id and The Ego that
in every movement of a person, including what they think and what they do are
possible to happen consciously or unconsciously. The division of the physical
into what is conscious and what is unconscious is the fundamental premiss of
psycho-analysis; and it alone makes it possible for psycho-analysis to understand
the pathological processes in mental life (p. 2).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
12
Guerin (2011) then explains further about the Freudian Theory of
Personality. Freud separates mental process to three psychic zones: the id, the
ego, and the superego. The diagram (Fig. 2.3) helps to clarify the relationship
between ego, id, and superego, as well as their collective relationship to the
conscious and the unconscious and that only small portions of the ego and the
superego are conscious (pp. 204-205).
Fig. 2.1.2: Theory of Personality Diagram
The id it self is the reservoir of libido, the primary source of all psychic
theory. It functions to fulfill the primordial life principle, which Freud considers
to be the “pleasure principle”. Without consciousness of rational order, the id is
characterized by a tremendous and amorphous vitality. The id, in short, the
source of all our aggressions and desires. It is lawless, asocial, and amoral. Its
function is to gratify our instincts for pleasure without regard for social
conventions, legal ethics, or moral restraint. Unchecked, it would lead us to any
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
13
length - the destruction and even self-destruction - to satisfy its impulses for
pleasure.
The ego is the rational governing agent of the psyche. Though the ego lacks
the strong vitality of the id, it regulates the instinctual drives of the id so that they
may be released in nondestructive behavioral patterns. Though a large portion of
the ego is unconscious, the ego nevertheless comprises what we ordinarily think
of as the conscious mind. The ego stands for reasons and good sense. It also
governed by the “reality principle”. Consequently, the ego serves as intermediary
between the world within and the world without.
The superego is largely unconscious. It is the moral censoring agency, the
respiratory of conscience and pride. It is the representative of all moral
restrictions the advocate of the impulse toward perfection. In short, as Freud
stated, it is as much as people have been able to apprehend psychologically of
what people call the higher things in human life. The superego serves to repress
or inhibit the drives of the id, to block off and thrust back into the unconscious
those impulses toward pleasure that society regards as unacceptable. Freud
attributes the development of the superego to the parental influence that
manifests itself in terms of punishment for what society considers to be bad
behavior and reward for what society considers good behavior. An overactive
superego creates an unconscious sense of guilt. The superego is dominated by
the “morality principle”.

4. Theory of Conflict
As cited in Collaborative Approaches to Resolving Conflict as writen by
Isenhart (2000), there are severals definitions of conflict according to experts;
they are Edelman and Crain, Coser, Hocker and Wilmot (p.3).
According to Edelman and Crain (1993) conflict occurs when two people
cannot agree on the actions that one person takes or that he or she does not take
(p. 18).
Coser (1967) explains that conflict involves a struggle over values and
claims to scarce status, power and resources in which the aim of opponents is to
neutralize, injure, or eliminate rivals (p. 8).
Hocker and Wilmot (1991) explain further that conflict is an expressed
struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible
goals, scarce resources and interference from the other party in achieving their
goals (p. 23).
According to William Wilmot and Joyce Hocker (1995), interpersonal
conflict is an expressed struggle. Which means that someone expresses their
displeasure with a remark or by a nonverbal behavior such as glare, a steely
facial expression, or an emotion-laden tone of voice.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
15
An expressed struggle at least occurs between two interdependent people. In
fact, people are interdependent on each other, what one person says or does
affects the others. People are more likely to have conflict with others whom they
spend time with because one person is connected to the other in some way. The
conflict that weighs most heavily on a person is those with people with whom we
interact most frequently. Conflict takes at least two people to have interpersonal
conflict.
The conflict may occur because two parties recognize they have
incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference. Conflict often happens
because two people want the same thing, but both can’t have it, or because what
one person wants is the opposite of what the other wants. The other reason is
when resources (time, money, or something else) are scarce. Also happens when
there are conflicting or incompatible goals, not enough of something to go
around, or someone is blocking what you belive is rightfully theirs, conflict
happens.
Isenhart (2000) states that conflict is a struggle for power, the way decisions
are made, the way we talk with each other, or unresolved problems from past
interactions (p. 2). Isenhart then adds in his book that there are several ways on
how conflicts occur and several ways that people approach conflict. There are
seven sources of conflict, this theories give clear knowledge on how conflict
mostly occurs (pp. 14-15), those are;
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
16
1. Data
People have differences of opinion about the best sources, reliability,
and interpretation of data. Disputes about contractual, environmental, or
physical loss even reimbursement for damages often require objective
interpretation by neutral third parties to resolve the disagreement.
2. Interest
Every single person has their own of interests. The most common
sources of disagreement happens when people have their own specific
interest that different. This disagreement happen in where people bargain to
get their own needs - their own interests - such as; organizational policies,
work agreements, an divorce settlement.
3. Procedures
People may engage in a discussion if they agree with a way to solve
problems, make a decision, or resolve conflict. People put their interest on
the election result because they believe that election procedures are fair.
People trust on a certain thing or condition where it managed systematically.
4. Values
The hardest conflict to resolve involve differences of opinion about the
importance or priority of interests, opinions, or choices of directions.
Problems begins with a value about the way things should be. People see
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
17
value of certain things or conditions differently, these differences of point of
view mostly arouse conflicts.
5. Relationships
People cooperates with with others if they trust other people, feel
respected by others, do believe that other person is honest. A relationship
collaborates when there is a high level of comfort.
6. Roles
Roles often create conflict because of expectations for the role or power
imbalances created by the role. Every role where people takes positions can
be the reason why the conflicts occur. People from a different roles, have
different knowledge, and also different point of view on understanding
certain things or conditions.
7. Communication
Conflict is due to the results from how something is said. People’s
emotion become triggered by words that other person takes it personally or
interprets it as threatening. Conflict also occur when other people have
certain information that they believe is relevant that not being shared.
There are factors that influence the choice of style include in the importance
of the issue to the party, contextual or cultural norms for how the conflict should
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
18
be approached. There are also several common ways of people approach
conflicts that Isenhart found. Those common ways are (pp. 26-27) ;
1. Avoiding
Avoidance occur when a person denies that there is conflict, changes
topics, and avoids discussion, and is noncommittal. This is the most effective
style in situations in which the complexity of the situation prevents solutions.
2. Accommodation
This condition happens when a person sacrifices its interests and
concerns while enabling others to achieve their interests. This style is
effective in situations in which there is not much chance of achieving one’s
own interests.
3. Compromising
This condition means that concessions by all parties, each party settles
for partial satisfaction interests. This kind of style becomes effective when
there will be no hard feelings for settling for less than expected.
4. Competitive
This style is characterized by aggressive, self-focused, forcing, verbally
assertive, and uncooperative behaviors that strive to satisfy one party’s
interests at the expense of the interests of others. This style is effective when
the situation which decision must be made quickly.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
19
5. Collaborative
Collaborative is characterized by active listening and issue-focused,
emphatic communication that seeks to satisfy the interests and concern of all
parties. This style os effective when both parties reasonably balanced and
also valued the long-term relationship. It also perfect for both parties when
there is sufficient time and energy to create an integrative solution that will
satisfy both parties.
Ricaud-Droisy and Zaouche-Gaudron (2003) add that after realization of the
conflict, both parties will be able to elaborate resolution strategies of their
conflict. People in conflict want something. Many conflict occur because both
people can’t (or perceive that they can’t) achieve their own goals. Understanding
what the individuals in conflict want is an important step toward finding a way to
manage the conflict on achieving both goals, wants, or needs (p.158)
5. Theory of Motivation
In order to relate the idea of motivation itself with literary work, Petri (1981)
aims that Motivation is the concept the author use to describe the forces acting
on or within an organism to initiate and direct behavior. Concept of motivation
also used to explain the differences in the intensity of behavior. The author use
the concept of motivation to indicate the direction of the behavior (pp. 3-4)

Then, Maslow as cited in Petri (1981) states that people’s desire in this
world is never satisfied. People are still struggling to get other things after
achieving a goal (p. 302). This part will mention about motivation which
underlying the interpersonal conflicts between Joy and Sadness through Inside
Out screenplay. Maslow (1943) mentions that there are five motives and needs
inside the hierarchy of needs.
Fig. 2.1.2: Maslow’s The Hierarchy of Needs diagram
The lowest part or the first need is physical needs, then safety needs, the
third is belongingness and love needs, then esteem needs, and the last is self-
actualization needs. Food, water, warmth, and rest are things or conditions to
fulfill the psychological needs. Then in safety needs is a condition where a
person can be free from physical threat and emotional harm. Then belongingness
and love needs is being fulfilled with interaction with others and also
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
21
belongingness in the society. After belongingness being fulfilled, people tend to
fulfill the next stage, esteem needs. Esteem needs can be categorized into two
parts, internal needs and external needs. Internal needs itself being fulfilled with
self-esteem such as accomplishment and self-respect. External needs are social
status and recognition. Then, the highest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
is self-actualization needs.
Feist (2009) explains that Maslow develops the hierarchy of need during
1970’s into seven-stage models. Between esteem needs and self-actualization,
there are two other stage. Those stages are cognitive needs and aesthetic needs.
Cognitive needs are needs of knowledge and understanding, curiosity,
exploration, need for meaning and predictability. It tends to know more theorize,
to test hypotheses, or to find out how something works just for satisfaction. Then,
aesthetic needs are needs of appreciation, search for beauty and balance (p. 284).
Jung John (1978) adds that motivation is a motive that is regarded as causes
of behavior. Jung elaborates that motivation sometimes has the same way of
operates in generating response like emotion. In general, motivation is more
likely to be the cause or reason that underlie a given behavior. In short, compare
to emotions, motivation is rather rational (p. 4).

6. Interpersonal Communication
Beebes and Redmond (2009) state that interpersonal communication is a
distinctive, transactional form of human communication involving mutual
influence, usually for the purpose of managing relationships (p. 3). Furthermore;
interpersonal communication has degrees of intimacy when interacting with
others, eventhough interpersonal communication itself is a closer interaction of a
person with others. First, interpersonal communication transaction between one
person and another influence themselves. All partners which join a
communication are affected by a transactions. For example, a person will not
really affected by a brief smile that you received from a traveling companion, but
a person will get highly affected when his/her lover telling he/she that the lover
leaving them. Second degree is that interpersonal communication helps
individuals manage their relationships. This condition happens when two
individuals are in relationship, what one person says or does influences to the
other person.
Interpersonal communication is a really important communication which
occurs every single time and it has it is reasons. Beebes and Redmond (2009),
further explain that interpersonal communication can improve relationships with
family, friends and lovers, colleagues, and physical and emotional health (p. 5).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
23
Interpersonal communication has several principles which explained by
Beebes and Redmond. This principles explain further about the nature of
interpersonal communication itself (p. 21). Those principles are ; (1)
Interpersonal communication connect use to others, (2) Interpersonal
communication is irreversible, (3) Interpersonal communication is complicated,
(4) Interpersonal communication is governed by rules, (5) Interpersonal
communication involves both content and relationship dimensions.
7. Theory of Interpersonal Relationship
Interpersonal relationship happens because the interpersonal communication
that occurs become more dependent with one another. According to Steven
Beebe, Susan Beebe and Mark Redmond (2009) relationship itself is a
connection which established when someone communicate with another person
(p. 252). Beebes and Redmond stated that interpersonal relationship is a
perception shared by two people of an ongoing interdependent connection that
results in the development of relational expectations and varies in interpersonal
intimacy. Beebes and Redmond explain further about the elements of
interpersonal relationship. There are four elements of interpersonal relationship
(pp. 252-253), those are;
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
24
a. Shared Perception
Both individuals must share a perception that they have an ongoing
relationship. Generally, the greater the similarity in perceptions of the
relationship, the stronger the relationship.
b. Ongoing Interdependent Connection
An ongoing interdependent connection, means that the interpersonal
relationship is a system and a process. Interdependence occurs because each
partner relies on the other to meet the needs. As a system, an interpersonal
relationship is transactional; that is both partners affect each other
simultaneously. As a result, a change in one partner has a direct impact on
the relationship and on the other partner. As a process, a relationship is
dynamic, constantly changing, and evolving.
c. Relational Expectations
Any time a person interact with someone, they will bring a set of
performed expectation based on your socialization and experiences; but as
someone develop an international relationship, a person and their partner
establish expectations specific to that relationship. These expectations are
part of the relationship process and are continually developing and changing.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
25
d. Interpersonal Intimacy
Interpersonal intimacy is the degree to which relational partners
mutually confirm and accept each other’s sense of self. The closer the
relationship, the more someone depend on a partner to accept and confirm
their own sense of self; and the other hand their partner does the same.
8. Theory of Meaning
Meaning has two different parts, surface meaning and deeper meaning.
Holman and Harmon (1972) elaborate that surface or denotation meaning is the
exact meaning of a word, independent of its emotional coloration or association,
without embellishment (p.108). Then, deeper or connotation meaning is the
emotional implications that words may carry. Deeper meaning may be private
and personal. It shows the result of individual experiences (p.133).
B. Theoretical Framework
The researcher implements several theories to support the two formulated
problems mentioned in Chapter I. To solve the formulated problems, the researcher
has to find several theories to conduct the study. Even though each problem has main
strong theories, other theory which not strongly mentioned also included to make the
basic mind of the problems. The other theories also support the to answer the problem
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
26
formulation which will make the statement stronger. Those theories are theory of
character and characterization, psychology approach, personality theory, theory of
conflict, theory of motivation, theory of relationship, and the last important theory is.
To answer the first problem formulation, the researcher uses theory of character and
charactrization from Barnet (2010) and Murphy (1972). these theories are used to
analyzed what kind of personality the characters have, so that the researcher will find
the motives behind their reactions of events. Then to solve the second problem
formulations the researcher uses interpersonal relationship theory also from Beebes
and Redmond (2009). This theory will help the researcher to reveal the reaction
behind their conflicts - the meaning why the conflicts occur.
C. Context of the Film Screenplay
In this part, the researcher gives information about the author of the novel. Inside
Out (2015) is an animation film by Pete Docter. The director who was born in 9th
October 1968 is a famous director which films also become big hits, Monster
Inc.(2001) and Up (2009). He is such a famous director with bizarre and imaginative
mind (The New York Times; 2015). Inside Out is in the top rank of PIXAR inspiring
film. This film began developing in 2009 after Ellie’s, Pete’s eleven-year-old
daughter, changing personality through her emotions was being noticed by Pete. This
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
27
film wins a “film of the Year” from AFI AWARDS, USA (2016) and also “Best
Writing, Original Screenplay” from ACADEMY AWARDS, USA (2016).
Throughout the film screenplay, the setting of the film is in Rilley’s head, called
“Personality Island”. The journey starts when Joy suddenly appeard and followed by
Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. These five are monitoring Rilley’s life and
producing her responses to every situations. This condition pictures how preteen girl
reacts to everything around. The five emotions are being validated by the help of Paul
Ekman, a well-known psychologist of emotions, and Dacher Kelther, a professor of
psychology. Indise Out, according to Pete Docter and his team, has functions to find
an answer of how emotional life on an eleven-year-old girl will be.
After all, Inside Out film by Pete Docter, is a film that describes how emotions
drive a preteen girl. In the film Docter gives clear personage of those emotions as Joy,
Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger, who grapple for control of the mind of preteen
girl during the tumult of a move from Minnesota to San Franscisco. Docter
personages each character with its own characterizations. The emotions also have
their own struggle to resolve problems.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter consists of three parts. The first part is the Object of the Study. In
this part, the researcher provides the summary of the film. The next part is the
Approach of the Study. In this part, the researcher elaborates the approach to solved
the research problems. The last part is the Method of the Study. It explains more
about the way or steps of accomplishing the objective of this research.
A. Object of the Study
The object of the study is a film screenplay of “Inside Out” by Pete Docter. The
film produced in 2009 then released in 2015 under the production company of
PIXAR Animations Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. This film is 1 hour and 34
minutes in length and the screenplay itself consists of 130 pages. The screenplay
depicts the characters and its dialogues, setting, and the detail explanations of certain
point, such as the details of the setting and the characters’ movements. The script also
gives signs on the dialogues to indicate how the characters speak their dialogues, such
as (CONT’D), (V.O.), and (S.O.).
Inside Out film itself is a 3D animation film of Pete Docter and the story itself
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
29
comes from Pete Docter personal experiences. Pete Docter has eleven-year-old
daughter, Ellie, who is a lot like the character of young Ellie, Up (2009). The active
and hyperactive Ellie has made Pete Docter wander what was going on inside his
daughter’s head. The wandering makes Docter start the story of Inside Out film in
2009. In the end of Pete Docter’s idea, this film becomes a real portrayal of how
emotions work inside a person’s head, how people perceive the world, how they
express themselves, and how they evoke their responses to others.
In making the story, Pete Docter spoke to Paul Ekman - an expert on human
emotions - and Dacher Keltner - the founder of an institution called The Greater
Good Science Center. Docter and these two people agree on using five basic
emotions. The two of the five emotions becomes the focus who gives a big impact on
Rilley’s life. Joy defines Rilley’s personality and Sadness is the real star in the film
who guides the responses of Rilley towards the changes she is going through.
B. Approach of the Study
In this study, the researcher uses psychological approach. This approach’s
function’s is to analyze a person psychologically. By using this approach, the
researcher understands the reasons behind the interpersonal conflict happening
between Joy and Sadness . The researcher can also find several ways of Joy solving
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
30
problems which are caused by Sadness and the importance of Sadness.
McLeod (2007) states that an approach that involves certain assumptions about
human behavior: the way they function, which aspects of them are worthy of study
and what research methods are appropriate for undertaking this study. There may be
several different theories within an approach, but they all share these common
assumptions.
In this research, the researcher focuses the most on the use of behaviorist theory
initiated by Skinner (1974). He says that people (and animals) are controlled by their
environment. Behaviorism is concerned with how environmental factors (called
stimuli) affect observable behavior (called the response).
C. Method of the Study
In conducting this study, the researcher uses document analysis to analyze the
film through the screenplay and also library research on solving the problem
formulation. From the document analysis, the researcher uses the film screenplay
which will be useful for the researcher. It is because the condition which happens in
the film screenplay is captured and put as evidence.
There are general steps used by the researcher to do the research. First, was
watching the film as the primary data. By watching this film, the researcher was able
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
31
to understand the story deeper. After understanding the film, the researcher found
some important and strong points to be analyzed. Then the researcher broadened the
point in other particular point.
After that the researcher tries to answer the problem formulation on how Joy and
Sadness are described in the film through their interpersonal conflict. The next step is
to find the meaning behind the interpersonal conflict. Then the researcher tries to
relate the finding with the theories. The researcher also states several opinion about
the answers to the research problems After doing all those research, the researcher
comes up with to conclusion.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS
This chapter deals with the answers to the questions of this study. The first one
discusses the description of Joy and Sadness. The second question aims to analyze the
meaning behind the characters’ interpersonal conflict.
A. The Description of Characters
1. The Description of Joy
Joy is actually an emotion of preteen girl, Rilley, however, in Inside Out
film she becomes the central character. She becomes the central character
because she involved in all of the events in the story. Joy is a round character,
who has different side at the end of film. Joy has several direct characteristics
which can be seen from her physical appearance.
Since her physical appearances have meanings, then the researcher will
elaborate deeper about Joy’s appearances. Those appearances give brief
explanation that Joy is an energetic character. Starting from her skin with vibrant
light color which follows her like a spotlight. It means that she is a center of
Rilley’s life which is more important than any other characters of emotion. Just
like spotlight, the story - or can be said as Rilley’s life - is focusing on Joy. It
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
33
happens because without Joy Rilley can not be happy since Joy is the only
one who can make Rilley happy. In the screenplay, Sadness says if Joy was not
in Headquarters, Rilley would not be happy and they need to make Joy back to
the Headquarters (p.45). Bing Bong also realizes that without Joy, Rilley can not
be happy, so Bing Bong asks Joy and Sadness to follow him to go back to the
Headquarters (p.66).
Then her messy hair explains that she has no time to comb her hair because
whenever she wakes up, the things that she wants to do is to jump into
everything which is interesting for her. This condition can be seen from her
behavior in several situations mentioned in the screenplay. It mentions that “Joy
jumps back into driving position”(p.3) and “Joy pops up the Core Memory
Holder. Inside are five intensely bright golden memories” (p.6).
“Joy plays the accordion around Headquarters. The others appear, lookinggrumpy. Joy yells over the noise.Joy : Hello! Did I wake you?Anger : Do you have to play that?Joy : Well, I have to practice. And I don’t think of it as playing so
much as hugging.She tosses aside the accordion and runs off.Joy : Okay, first day of school! Very, very exciting! I was up late last
night figuring out a new plan. Here it is.”(p.34)
The next point is her green dress. Joy’s green dress’ means that Joy is giving
harmony, balance, center, and refreshment either for the other emotions or Rilley
herself. Joy’s green dress shows that she is actually the center of other four
emotions. A color experts and a researcher of color, Angela Wright (2016), has
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
34
widely-known theory called The Wright Theory about the meaning of colors
toward psychology.
“GREEN.BalancePositive: Harmony, balance, refreshment, universal love, rest,
restoration, reassurance, environmental awareness,equilibrium, peace.Green strikes the eye in such a way as to require no adjustment
whatever and is, therefore, restful. Being in the centre of the spectrum, it isthe colour of balance - a more important concept than many people realise.When the world about us contains plenty of green, this indicates thepresence of water, and little danger of famine, so we are reassured by green,on a primitive level.”.
Other meaning comes from her bare feet. Her bare feet are an express of a
person that fully energize and difficult to control. Like in the screenplay, shown
that Joy likes to jump here and there. In an interview of a USA Online News
(2016), called USATODAY, the director explains the meaning behind Joy’s bare
feet. On the interview, Pete Docter declares that Joy’s bare feet and pixie
reinforce her rambunctious character.
After all the direct meaning have been elaborate, it can be concluded that
Joy is an energetic character. The next part of all is Joy’s dramatic meaning
which can bee seen by the situation where the character involves.
1. Optimistic
Joy is an optimistic character. She like to see the positive on everything.
When other characters are giving up to face certain things then Joy will
think the other way around to make other characters believe that there are
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
35
ways to solve it. As seen in the screenplay that Joy positively thinks that the
new house will be great for Rilley to live when the other characters are
feeling doubtful. She keeps saying good things so the other characters will
think the same way.
“Anger : I can’t believe Mom and Dad moved us here!Joy : Look, I get it. You guys have concerns. But we’ve been
through worse! Tell you what: let’s make a list of all thethings Riley should be HAPPY about!
Anger : Fine. Let’s see... this house stinks, our room stinks...Disgust : Pizza is weird here...Sadness : Our friends are back home...Fear : And all of our stuff is in the missing van!Joy : Oh c’mon, it could be worse...Disgust : Yeah, Joy. We could be lying on the dirty floor. In a bag”(p.29)
Then there is a condition where Joy and Sadness are lost in long term
memories, which is like labyrinth. When the islands break down, Joy tries
even harder to go out from the long term memories to save Rilley. As can be
seen from the screenplay that Joy positively thinks that there is a way out of
there.
“Sadness: Wait! Joy, you could get lost in there!Joy : Think positive!Sadness : Okay. I’m positive you will get lost in there. That’s Long-
Term Memory. An endless warren of corridors and shelves. Iread about it in the manuals.
Joy stops. Sadness is right. But wait!Joy : The manuals? The manuals! You read the manuals!Sadness : Yeah...I, guess...”(p.56)
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
36
Other evidence is where Sadness who is full of depressive knowing that
it is a long way to take and she does not want to go around again, Joy hugs
the core memories - which one of those is the memory while Rilley playing
around with Meg - and she wants to make it to happens again. In
consequence, she goes to the labyrinths and pulls Sadness leg.
“Joy :(trying to stay positive)We’ll just have to go the long way.They turn to look back into the deep memory shelves.Sadness :Yeah. The long, long, looong way.I’m ready.Sadness lies down on the ground, offering her leg. Joy sighs. Shedoesn’t want to do this again.Joy : Ah, yes.(pulling Sadness)There’s gotta be a better way.”(pp.63-64)
2. Determined
Determined is part of Joy character in Inside Out film. She never gives
up on whatever she wants to achieve. Her determinedness is mostly shown
when she and Sadness are out from Headquarters. In the screenplay, Joy
tries her best to go back to the Headquarters from the thin bridge that
connects Goofball Island with the Headquarters. The first strong evidence
from the screenplay is that even in labyrinth, Joy is not stopping to find the
way out even she has to pull Sadness leg here and there.
“Joy : You are my map! Let’s go! Lead on, Mind Map! Show mewhere we’re going!
Sadness : Okay! Only, I’m too sad to walk. Just give me a few... hours.Joy grabs Sadness’ leg and DRAGS her into the shelves.Joy : Which way? Left?
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
37
Sadness : Right.(Joy turns right)No. I mean, go left. I said left wasright, like “correct.”
Joy : Okay.Sadness : This actually feels kind of nice.Joy heads off into the COMPLICATED LABYRINTH ahead of them.Joy : Okay! Here we go. We’ll be back to Headquarters before
morning. We can do it. This’ll be easy. This is working!”(p.57)
Not only the evidence above that shows Joy is a determined character,
but there is another one when she is in the Memory Dump with Bing Bong.
Joy really tries her best - with the help of Bing Bong and his rocket - going
out from the Memory Dump. Joy and Bing Bong sing the rocket’s song over
and over again so the rocket will fly high.
“EXT. MEMORY DUMP - LATERThey perch the wagon atop a hill. Joy looks resigned.Joy : Hop in!Both inside, Bing Bong pushes off. They speed down a slope to gainmomentum, singing all the way. They reach the bottom and shoot upanother hill, launching up towards the cliff top. Joy and Bing Bongenthusiastically, if not desperately, sing at the top of their lungs. Noteven close. They crash back to the bottom.Joy(CONT’D): C’mon!
EXT. MEMORY DUMP - MOMENTS LATERThey shoot down a taller hill for another go. They SING faster andlouder. Joy reaches for the ledge but they fall with a thud. Bing Bongstands. There’s no way they’ll make it. He looks up at the ledge andthen to his hand -- it’s disappearing!Bing Bong : Come on, Joy. One more time. I’ve got a feeling about
this one.
EXT. MEMORY DUMP - MOMENTS LATERHurdling down the largest hill yet, they continue to sing BingBong’s song.Bing Bong : Louder! Louder, Joy! Sing louder!
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
38
Bing Bong times it just right... and jumps out of the wagon.Without hisweight, the Joy gains momentum. She’s unaware of Bing Bong’sabsence.Joy : We’re gonna make it!The rocket makes it over the ledge! It crashes atop the cliff.”(pp.110-111)
3. Reliable
Joy has a personality to lead others. She knows how to deal with
problems then solves it calmly. Most of the time she controls the situation
they had to face.
“Joy : Okay, first day of school! Very, very exciting! I was up latelast night figuring out a new plan. Here it is. (to Fear)Fear! Ineed a list of all the possible negative outcomes on the firstday at a new school.
Fear : Way ahead of you there. Does anyone know how to spell“meteor?”
Joy : Disgust! Make sure Riley stands out today... but also blendsin.
Disgust : When I’m through, Riley will look so good the other kids willlook at their own outfits and barf.
Joy : (addressing herself)Joy! Yes Joy? You’ll be in charge of theconsole, keeping Riley happy all day long. And may I add Ilove your dress, it’s adorable. Oh, This ol’ thing? Thank youso much, I love the way it twirls...
Toot Toot! A train rushes by outside.Joy : Train of Thought! Right on schedule.The engineer waves from the cab and drops off a large bag.Joy : Anger! Unload the daydreams. I ordered extra in case things
get slow in class.Anger : Might come in handy, if this new school is full of boring
useless classes, which it probably will be...” (pp.34-35)
This condition makes others depend on her. When she disappears to the
Long-Term Memory, Disgust, Anger, and Fear are unable to know what to do
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
39
in controlling the console. At that time of desperation, Disgust even hopes
that Joy was in the Headquarters (p.46).
4. Supportive
Over her optimistic attitude, she mostly becomes supportive to others.
She tries her best not to let others think negatively. Even when other
characters look down on themselves, Joy always gives good words to them.
This condition happens between Joy and Sadness, because Sadness likes to
think negatively, she tend to be so depressive. The screenplay gives a plot
where Joy wants to make Rilley happy, but Sadness touch one of the core
memory then the memory ball turns into blue, also Rilley start to feel sad.
Right at the moment, Joy drags Sadness to a bookshelf corner to make her
stay away from the balls.
“Sadness: I know. I’m sorry. Something’s wrong with me. It’s like I’mhaving breakdown.
Joy : You are not having a breakdown. It’s stress.Sadness : I keep making mistakes like that. I’m awful...Joy : Nooo, you’re not.Sadness : ...and annoying.Joy : Well... uh... You know what? You can’t focus on what’s
going wrong.There’s always a way to turn things around, tofind the fun!” (pp.24-25)
Then, there is a plot in the screenplay where Joy Praise to Sadness that
wake Rilley up using scary dream is a good idea. Over Joy’s praise, Sadness
feels happy about herself.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
40
“Joy : Hey, that was a good idea. About scaring Riley awake.You’re not so bad.
Sadness : Really?Joy : Nice work.Joy turns to sit on a crate inside the train.” (p.102)
Then this situation goes on when finally they get in the Headquarters. In
that moment Joy asks Sadness to lead Rilley’s emotion but Sadness is not
sure about it, then Joy makes her sure that she can do it.
“Disgust: Joy, you’ve got to fix this. Get up there.Joy : Sadness, it’s up to you.Sadness : Me?Joy pushes Sadness towards the console.Anger/Fear/Disgust : Sadness?!?Sadness : I can’t, Joy.Joy : Yes you can. Riley needs you.Sadness looks at Joy. Really? Joy nods.” (pp.120-121)
Having those characterizations which already mentioned above can be
concluded that Joy is also a light-hearted character. From energetic,
optimistic, hardworking, and also supportive make her a perfect light-
hearted character which never been seen in a desperation. Joy has solving
problems as character in Inside Out film with positively think that
everything will be okay and do things without whining.
2. The Description of Sadness
Sadness is also an emotion of preteen girl, Rilley, who also becomes the
central character in Inside Out film. She becomes the central character because
she involves in every event in the film, with Joy. Sadness is also a round
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
41
character who has different side at the end of the film. At first, even Joy states
that she does not understand the existing purpose of Sadness (p.6). Then
everything comes in conclusion that Sadness is actually also an important
emotion for Rilley. As Joy predicts, Rilley gets sad and cries when she missed
the winning shot but her parents and friend comfort her so she can be happy
again. At that moment, Joy realizes the importance of Sadness (p.109). Sadness
has several direct means which also can be seen from her physical appearances.
Sadness is a character which being portrayed as a short chubby girl who has blue
silky hair, blue colored skin, teardrop-like shape of body, with big round glasses
and woolly sweater.
Sadness physical appearances also have meaning on it. Start from her blue
hair and blue skin which in American culture blue is a color of sadness or
depression. A gastreontologist, Peter Whorwell from University Hospital Sout
Manchester says that by using the Manchester Color Wheel, between blue and
yellow, most people with anxiety like to chose blue as a mood color. A little bit
darker blue is a favorite color for people who are feeling sad and depressed
(access on September 27th, 2016). Paul Ekman (2007) describes blue as the “blue
mood”, the mood that comes out when people feel sad for many hours and
having a melancholy personality (p. 93). From the information above, the
researcher conclude that Sadness’ blue skin color tells that she is a depression
character.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
42
Sadness’ woolly sweater shows that she is a less-confident character. Albert
Lazano, as Character Art Director of Inside Out film, explains that actually he
tries to portray Sadness with pajamas like most of people who like to stay in
pajamas a whole day when they are sad (access on Spetember 27th, 2016). On the
other hand, by giving Sadness pajamas which then turns into woolly sweater,
shows that Sadness is also a clumsy character. When a person is wrap in pajamas
they tend to slow things down. They do not like things with will cause to much
interactive. This condition can be seen from the screenplay when Bing Bong, Joy,
and Sadness arrived in the lava daydream. The place where the couch cushions is
floating around over a lava and they have to jump to walk pass through it. In that
place, Sadness complains with the fact that she has to be so interactive (p.75).
Then, the next thing which portray Sadness personality is her big round
glasses. This big glasses shows that she is a nerd with wide knowledge of
Headquarters and everything around it. In that condition, the big glasses must be
the cause from the reading habit. The screenplay also mentions that Sadness
reads about the Long-Term Memory labyrinth which giving her and Joy clue to
get out from the labyrinth (p.56). she also understand how the abstract mind
works when Bing Bong try to show shortcut to get to the train of thoughts
(pp.71-73).
After all the direct meanings of Sadness have been elaborated, it can be
concluded that Sadness is a depressed, clumsy, but a smart character. Then the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
43
researcher will elaborate the dramatic meanings of Sadness which can be seen by
the way the situation happens where Sadness involves.
1. Pessimistic
Over all of Sadness character, pessimistic is the one show up from
Sadness until Joy makes her realize how important she is in Headquarters.
Before that, she almost never be positive over everything that happened.
Everything for Sadness is always an unable-to-be-finished problem and not
interesting. Most of the time, Joy asks Sadness to think positively. There is a
plot where Sadness is strongly believe that herself and Joy will be hard
getting out from the Long-Term Memory and it is almost impossible to get
out from there.
“Sadness: Wait! Joy, you could get lost in there!Joy : Think positive!Sadness : Okay. I’m positive you will get lost in there. That’s Long-
Term Memory. An endless warren of corridors and shelves. Iread about it in the manuals.
Joy stops. Sadness is right. But wait!Joy : The manuals? The manuals! You read the manuals!Sadness : Yeah...Joy : So you know the way back to Headquarters!Sadness : I, guess..” (p.56)
Then other evidence of her pessimistic is when the Friendship Island is
broken. When Sadness sees that the Friendship Island has vanished, all that
Sadness can say is just negative words. Like what is written in the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
44
screenplay, Sadness says, “Oh, Riley loved that one. And now it's GONE.
Goodbye friendship, hello loneliness”(p.63) with depressed expression
which can be seen from the film.
Then there is a time when Sadness does not have believe on herself
when Joy gives her the chance to take over the console.
“Disgust : Joy, you’ve got to fix this. Get up there.Joy : Sadness, it’s up to you.Sadness : Me?Joy pushes Sadness towards the console.Anger/Fear/Disgust : Sadness?!?Sadness : I can’t, Joy.Joy : Yes you can. Riley needs you.Sadness looks at Joy. Really? Joy nods.” (pp.120-121)
This pessimistic character also make her easily depressed with negative
toughts. The evidence is when Sadness touch the core memory than it turns
into blue then Joy confronts her.
“Joy (CONT’D): Sadness! You nearly touched a core memory. Andwhen you touch them, we can’t change
Sadness : I know. I’m sorry. Something’s wrong with me. It’slike I’m having a breakdown.
Joy : You are not having a breakdown.It’s stress.Sadness : I keep making mistakes like that.I’m awful...Joy : Nooo, you’re not.Sadness : ...and annoying.”(p.24-25)”

2. Slothful
Sadness never has the interest to move around, she hates to do
everything so active. She even complains to Joy when they have to find the
way out from the Long-Term Memory.
“Joy : You are my map! Let’s go! Lead on, Mind Map! Show mewhere we’re going!
Sadness : Okay! Only, I’m too sad to walk. Just give me a few... hours.Joy grabs Sadness’ leg and DRAGS her into the shelves.Joy : Which way? Left?Sadness : Right.(Joy turns right)No. I mean, go left. I said left was right,
like “correct.”Joy : Okay.Sadness : This actually feels kind of nice.”(p.57)
The second evidence of her passiveness is when Bing Bong, Joy, and
Sadness in the Imagination Land. They walk through the French Fries Forest
then to the Trophy Town where everybody is a winner. Joy and Bing Bong
are excited to get all the medallions, Sadness looks not satisfied. She says,
“Hohh... Participation award...” (p.75). Then she lays down in one of the
couch cushions which shown from the film. (Fig. 4a.2.2)
Other evidence of her passiveness is when Bing Bong, Joy, and Sadness
have to jump on a couch cushions over a lava. At that time Sadness also
complains that it needs to be active to pass through it. In the screenplay
written that “Sadness tries to jump to a rock, barely makes it. Sadness: Is it
all going to be so interactive?” (p.75). Then she lays down in one of the
couch cushion which shown from the film.

3. Intelligent
Among those five emotions, Sadness knows best about everything that
works around Headquarters. Sadness likes to read a lot. The wide
knowledge of Sadness can be seen when she is lost in Long-Term Memory
with Joy. Sadness had memorizes the wide Long-Term Memory Labyrinth
(fig. 4a.2.6). Reading the manuals give them benefits to get out from Long-
Term Memory Labyrinth (p.57).
The other evidence is when Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong want to go in
to the Abstract Thought. Sadness is not sure about going in it because she
already read of how the Abstract Thought works.
“Joy : Whoa! What's happening?!Sadness : Oh no. They turned it on.Bing Bong: Huh! I’ve never seen this before.Bing Bong’s head turns into a Picasso-like form. Joy and Sadnessscream as they become Cubist versions of themselves.Bing Bong: (CONT’D)My face! My beautiful face!Joy : What is going on?Sadness : We’re abstracting! There are four stages.This is the first: non-objective fragmentation!” (p.71)
B. The Meaning Behind Joy and Sadness’ Interpersonal Conflicts
In this study, the meaning of Joy and Sadness’ interpersonal conflict is divided
into two parts. The first part is literal meaning and the second part is the deeper
meaning. In the screenplay, it can be seen that Joy and Sadness have a hard time to
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
47
get a long together. Joy at the beginning does not understand the reason behind
Sadness existence, because she only makes Rilley sad (p. 6).
The two fight over controlling the console. The conflicts occurred between the
two of them can be divided into several reasons. First, conflict occurs because both
Joy and Sadness have different interpretation towards the data they get. It happens
when they argue over the decision to take: whether they go into the Abstract Thought
or not (p. 71) and whether or not they had to wake Rilley up by scaring her(p. 88).
The other conflict also occurs when Joy and Sadness have their own specific
interests. The differences of these interests cause them put less interest on everything
they do together and make the other feel tired on making other understand their own
interest. Joy is tired on making Sadness understand to see everything as beautiful as
she sees it.
Joy : Oh, hey, hey... easy. Why are you crying? That’s really the oppositeof what we’re going for here.
Sadness : Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life'sproblems.
Joy : Ugh, you know what? Let’s think about something else. How aboutwe read some mind manuals, huh? Sounds fun!
She drags Sadness over to a shelf of technical manuals.Sadness : I’ve read most of them.Joy : Well have you read this one? This seems interesting: “Long-Term
Memory Retrieval, Volume 47?”Sadness : No.Joy : Ohhh! A real page turner!Sadness : (opens manual; reads) “Long-Term Memory Data Selection via
channel sub-grouping?”Joy : See? Fun already! You lucky dog, you’re reading these cool things
and I gotta go work. Life is so unfair.Joy walks away.” (p. 27)
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
48
Another conflict also happens when Sadness always see everything from her
negative point of view. The first is when Sadness is not happy in receiving the trophy
(p. 57). Then when Sadness hopelessly jumps from one couch to another (p. 75).
Joy and Sadness conflict also occurs because they have different procedures to
solve problems. The conflict that happens over and over is when they fight over
taking turn in controlling the console. Another different conflict happens when Joy
wants to cross over the Goofball Island to go to the Headquarters but Sadness does
not think the same way. The also have different procedures on the way they wake
Rilley up.
“Sadness : Well, she wakes up sometimes when she has a scary dream. We couldscare her.
Joy : Scare her? No no, she’s been through enough already.Sadness : But Joy--Joy : Sadness you may know your way around down here, but I know Riley!
We’re gonna make her so happy she’ll wake up with exhilaration!We’ll excite her awake!
Sadness : That’s never happened before.Joy spots a nearby dog costume and tosses it to Sadness.Joy : Ooh, Riley loves dogs. Put this on!Sadness : I don’t think that’ll work.” (p. 88)
The way they value certain things also cause them argue. When they have
different value of certain kind of things make them underestimate each other. This
happens when Joy has never sees that the blue core memory is worth to keep than the
golden one. This condition hurts Sadness and makes her want to keep the blue core
memory even stronger.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
49
“Joy : No wait... stop it! No! Ahh!Joy leaps to the holder and pops it open, preventing the new blue core memoryfrom going in. Joy grabs it.She pushes the end-of-day “memory flush” button. The tube comes down fromthe ceiling.Sadness : (trying to take her memory back from Joy) Joy, no. That’s a core
memory, Joy!Joy : Hey! Stop it. Let go.As they struggle, they bump into the Core Memory Holder, knocking allof the core memories out onto the floor.” (pp. 42 - 43)
In the Headquarters Joy has big roles and responsibility to take. It causes
imbalance condition between the two of them. The powerful roles of Joy has made
her control here and there. She, unconsciously, takes control on which emotions that
able to touch the console. The power she has allows her to prevent Sadness from
touching the console. Every emotions in Headquarters give their trust to Joy so that
everybody becomes depending on her.
Compare to other emotions, Sadness almost never touches the console. The very
simple reason she can not touch the console is that she does not make Rilley happier.
Disgust even states that the moment Sadness touches the memory, Rilley become sad.
“Joy : What did you do?Sadness : I just touched it.Joy : That shouldn’t make it change.Fear : Change it back, Joy!Joy rubs it, but the memory stays blue.Joy : I’m trying.Anger : You can’t change it back?Joy : No, I guess I can’t!Disgust : Good going Sadness. Now when Riley thinks of that moment with
Dad, she’s gonna fee l sad. Bravo.Sadness : I’m sorry Joy... I don’t really know-- I thought maybe, if you-- if I-
- if... I” (p. 22)
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
50
The last but significant reason why the conflict always occurs because Joy does
not put trust on Sadness. Joy doubt Sadness over everything Sadness does. This
doubtful thought of Joy makes her and Sadness apart. It also makes Joy never
communicate with Sadness and she even never ask Sadness for suggestions when
she faces with problems. This lack of trust and communication bring them to a bad
relationship. Eventhough they are together, in a same place for a quite long time,
they never understand each other.
1. Surface Meaning
In this part the researcher has more concern about the characters’ ego that
can be seen from the screenplay and with support from the film. The surface
meaning from Joy and Sadness’ interpersonal conflict is because there is no
balance in controlling the Headquarters. The imbalance situation makes the
condition even worse, they are being dragged even far away from the console.
This imbalance situation caused by the will of Joy to power. Her insecurity
comes out based on the situation that Sadness wants to take a control of the
console and brings a blue core memory. Joy always becomes the one who leads
everything. From the beginning of the film, Joy always thinks that she is the only
one that can make Rilley happy. This habit of making Rilley happy makes her
proud. In screenplay, Joy says “Anyway! These are Riley’s memories-- and
they’re mostly happy, you’ll notice, not to brag.” (p.6).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
51
The facts seem unable to fulfill what Joy wants for Rilley. As they move to
San Francisco, there is no more wall of golden memories. This fact seems hurtful
for Joy, so that she badly wants to do everything to make Rilley happy. Then her
desire to make Rilley happy grows stronger.
She loves Rilley so much so that she is obsessed to make Rilley happy. It
can be seen from her statements in the screenplay that she loves Rilley and things
could not be better (p.10). Since Rilley starts to move to San Francisco, Joy only
struggles to make Rilley happy. When other emotions only think that moving to
San Francisco is a bad decision, Joy tries to be positive about it. At the beginning,
she only tries to put all good imagination for other emotions to see that
everything will be okay. Then somehow it works, other emotions also make an
imagination about how the bedroom will be (p15-16). Starting from that point,
Joy is triggered to always keep Rilley happy no matter what will happen. This
situation blinds her. She even blocks Sadness to touch the console when Rilley’s
father left after they play hockey together and thinks so hard to make a better
situation.
“Sadness: Oh, he doesn’t love us anymore. That’s sad. I should drive right?Joy blocks her.Sadness : Joy? What are you doing?Joy : Uh, just uh, gimme one second... You know what I’ve realized?
Riley hasn’t had lunch!(takes a memory off the wall and plays it)Remember?” (p.19)
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
52
This situation shows that Joy extremely wants to make Rilley happy. Then
when the night comes and Rilley falls asleep, the Dream Production gives Rilley
a bad dream. Knowing this, Joy takes firm decision with stopping the dream
eventhough she knows exactly that what she done is not the right thing to do.
Still, she does it.
“Joy : Ah, no, who is in charge of programming down there?! I knowI’m not supposed to do this, but...
Joy ducks behind the console and REBOOTS it. The dream ends.Joy : We are not going to end the day like this.Joy has a thought. She recalls a memory.ON THE SCREEN: Riley ice skates with her parents.Joy watches, loving this kid. She shadows Riley, “skating” aroundHeadquarters.Joy : Don’t you worry. I’m gonna make sure that tomorrow is another
great day. I promise.” (pp.33-34)
Big trouble starts when Joy wants to throw the blue core memory to the
Long-Term Memory. From the theory of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1943)
diagram, in this situation Joy is trying to fulfill her esteem needs. Joy does not
want Rilley to have blue core memory because she thinks it will only make
Rilley sad. Joy then struggles to protect the golden core memories and Sadness
tries to protect the blue core memory from get thrown. This struggle makes them
bump to the core memory holder, knocking all of the core memories out onto the
floor. Without core memories in core memory holder, the islands of personality
get dark and silent (pp.42-43).
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
53
As the result, these conditions show that Joy has the will to power. The will
to power of Joy makes Sadness lack of aesthetic needs. She does everything to
take control over the console. She does not let Sadness to touch the console, she
even blocks Sadness on touching it. Joy’s will to power bring the imbalance
situation between Joy and Sadness caused them to battle with one another.
2. Deeper Meaning
In this part, the deeper meaning will be revealed from the effect of conflict
towards their inner personalities. After all, the condition of the story is having a
great correlation with the tittle “Inside Out”. Pete Docter gives an inconsistent
character in his film. The reversed character shows that a person in reality can
not be easily seen as it is. To understand a character needs different point of view
from different situations. When a person fight to get other belonging, it makes
the person itself change. Joy, who actually has to be positive and reliable,
becomes dependent. She does not put trust on everything she does. According to
Ekman (2007) joy (as emotion) occurs when someone feels proud and positive
about themselves (p. 306). Ekman also explain that sadness (as emotion) is
dependent. The negativity and agony that this emotion has, needs social support
in order to cure the sadness. (p. 88). Meanwhile, in this situation, the positive Joy
becomes less confident but she is able to cover her doubtful thought and anger
with her smile and every suggestions she speaks. Then Sadness, the one who has
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
54
to be dependent, becomes dependent. The empathy she has, makes her able to
calm and solve problems. She becomes more reliable than Joy.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter consists of two parts. They are conclusions and suggestions.
Conclusions are related to the characterization of Joy and Sadness, also the surface
meaning and deeper meaning. Then, the suggestions consist of recommendation for
the future researcher and English teacher.
A. Conclusions
In this section the researcher gives over all conclusion from the findings of the
problem formulations. The first finding is about Joy and Sadness’ characters, then the
second is about the meaning behind Joy and Sadness interpersonal conflicts.
The first is Joy and Sadness character. In this screenplay, Joy and Sadness are
emotions which portrayed as real human. Both Joy and Sadness are the central
characters. They both also have round characters.
Joy is a cheerful girl. She is an extroverted person so it is easy for her to express
her feelings in front of others. She jumps here and there, she dances, and easily
excited over something new. Joy is an optimistic person. When things get hard over
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
56
the moving to San Francisco, she becomes so supportive for others. Joy bring the best
imaginations to enjoy the new house so others won’t feeling depressed. Her positivity
makes her easy to adapt. By being optimistic, Joy becomes a hardworking person.
Even Joy seems so playful, she is actually has good manner of leadership. She leads
her friends to face the crisis of Rilley’s condition. Other emotions believe her so
much which make them more dependent.
Different situation happens to Sadness. Sadness is an introverted character. She
does not like to be so interactive, its because she is so passive. Compared to Joy,
Sadness is extremely pessimistic. Her pessimistic personality always placed Joy in
hard position, especially when they get thrown to the Long-Term Memory. Everytime
things get hard, she only lays down and look up like there is nothing she can do about
it. Her negativity make other emotions looks down on her. For the other emotions,
Sadness is like someone that can not take any responsibility. In contrast, Sadness is a
character with wide knowledge. She reads almost all the books in the Headquarters
and remember the contents of the books. She even understand the way to get out from
Long-Term Memory labyrinth. She is also a person with compassion, who comfort
Bing Bong when he is depressed.
From the surface meaning which discussed in Chapter 4, it can be concluded that
there are imbalance situations in the Headquarters between Joy and Sadness. Joy has
a big will to power the console. Then the deeper meaning is that both of them have
suffered from violating “not to have the desire of somebody else’s love possessions.”.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
57
Both Joy and Sadness have a big desire to have others belonging that makes them
switch their own character with others. In sort, Joy becomes more Sadness and
Sadness becomes more Joy, like the title of Pete Docter’s film, Inside out.
B. Suggestions
This part give suggestions for the next researchers who are interested in
analyzing a film screenplay, especially Inside Out film screenplay. The other
suggestion is for English Teachers in using Inside Out screen play as a learning
material.
1. Suggestion for Future Researchers
This study is limited to the analysis on the true meaning of Joy and Sadness’
interpersonal conflict. After analyzing the screenplay, the researcher suggest to
the future researcher on conducting the study about an analysis of intrapersonal
conflicts from Joy’s point of view.
2. Suggestion for Englsih Teacher
Analyzing a story or character trough a screenplay is a fresh class activity.
By analyzing the screenplay the students will understand how the director makes
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
58
a film from the leads of screenplay. Screenplay consist of all the movement with
the exact sayings at a time.
From Inside Out story point of view, there are so many things to analyze.
Whether analyze it from its story or psychological struggle of preteen girl on
finding their personalities and overcome problems in live. In conclusion, this
Inside Out story can be used for Play Performance class.

Appendix A
Inside Out (2015)
Summary
A girl named Riley Andersen is born in Minnesota. In her mind, which is
commonly referred to as "Headquarters," five personified emotions are created over
time: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger, each one being introduced in this
specific order. The emotions are charged with reacting to Riley's circumstances and
forming her memories, which are housed in spheres that produce a certain color
depending on the emotion of the memory. The most important memories, which are
known as "Core Memories," power five "Islands of Personality" that each reflect a
different aspect of Riley's personality: Family Island, Friendship Island, Hockey
Island, Honesty Island, and Goofball Island.
Each emotion also has a defined purpose in Riley's life: Joy makes sure she is
happy, Fear keeps her safe, Anger keeps her life fair and Disgust prevents her from
being poisoned, both physically and socially. Sadness, however, doesn't believe she
has a purpose in her mind, or that of the other emotions. As a result, she is constantly
ignored and kept from using the Headquarters controls, mainly by Joy, who prefers to
keep Riley happy as much as possible.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
63
When Riley turns eleven, her family relocates to San Francisco after her father
gets a new job. Joy tries to make the move a pleasant experience for Riley and the
other emotions, but several events leading up to the move make the other emotions
think otherwise. And Sadness messes things up further when she turns a happy
memory into a sad one by touching it and causes a core memory to fall out of the
container it is housed in. Aware that memories can't be changed back once turned sad,
Joy keeps Sadness occupied by having her memorize a stack of "mind manuals" all
through the day and into the night.
On Riley's first day at her new school, Joy attempts to keep Sadness from
touching anything by having her stand completely still inside a circle of chalk. But
Sadness ventures outside the circle and creates a new core memory after making
Riley cry in front of her new classmates. Joy attempts to dispose of the new memory,
but her struggle with Sadness leads to all the core memories being knocked out from
their container. Before Joy can put them back, she, Sadness, and the core memories
are sent up a memory tube and into the far reaches of Riley's mind.
As Joy and Sadness make their way through "Long Term Memory," a labyrinth-
like place where all of Riley's past memories are stored, they run into Riley's former
imaginary friend Bing Bong, who is desperate to reconnect with Riley. When Bing
Bong discovers that his song-powered imaginary wagon has been dumped into
"the Memory Dump," a pit where obsolete memories are erased, he breaks down in
tears of candy and is comforted by Sadness as Joy watches on in confusion.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
64
Meanwhile, back at Headquarters, Anger, Disgust, and Fear attempt to take charge in
the wake of Joy's absence. But they are unable to make Riley joyful, and instead
instigate a confrontation with Riley's parents, and cause Goofball Island to fall into
the Memory Dump. The three soon realize that tampering with Riley's personality
will cause it to slowly destroy itself with potentially disastrous results.
Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong hatch a plan to ride the "Train of Thought" back to
Headquarters and trek through the various parts of Riley's mind, unaware that Riley's
life is slowly starting to crumble. She alienates both her parents and her former best
friend, struggles in her new surroundings and quits hockey after failing to do well in
the first tryout. Anger reasons that the only way to restore Riley's personality and
keep the remaining islands from falling into the Memory Dump is to persuade her to
run away to Minnesota.
Later that night, while Riley is sleeping, Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong arrive at
the loading dock for the Train of Thought, only to realize the train does not run
during nighttime. In an attempt to jump-start the train, the three infiltrate "Dream
Productions", where Riley's dreams and nightmares are created. Onstage, they
infiltrate a monstrous birthday clown named Jangles, who scares Riley and wakes her
up. As Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong board the Train of Thought and make their way
towards Headquarters, Anger enacts his plan of running away. Riley is led to steal her
mother's credit card, which causes Honesty Island to crumble, destroying the Train of
Thought in the process. Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong take refuge on Family Island
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
65
only for the island to begin to fall in pieces when Riley boards a waiting bus to
Minnesota. Then, after a failed attempt to hitch a ride to Headquarters through an
exposed memory recall tube, Joy and Bing Bong fall into the dump, leaving Sadness
on her own.
Joy, in despair and on the verge of giving up, bursts into tears and shifts through
Riley's memories, locating a sad one in which Riley missed a shot in a hockey game
and cost her team the win. Realizing that Sadness was the one who caused both her
teammates and her parents to console her, changing the memory into a happy one,
Joy helps Bing Bong find his rocket wagon and attempts to jumpstart it only to
realize it falls short of reaching the cliff every time. Bing Bong, in a moment of self-
realization, starts the rocket again and jumps off before it flies away. As Joy looks
over her shoulder after barely making it to the cliff, Bing Bong thanks her for letting
him be important one last time and fades away.
Joy emerges from the dump and finds Sadness, who has come to the conclusion
that her doings can only hurt Riley and flees her. Using a huge pile of imaginary
boyfriends from Imagination Land, Joy launches herself towards Sadness with a large
trampoline and grabs her before flying towards Headquarters, where Anger and
Disgust work together to get them inside. Everyone then looks to Joy to save the
situation, but she steps back and lets Sadness take control. Riley, now in control of
her emotions, gets off the bus before it leaves the station and returns home to her
parents, where she breaks down in tears after admitting she misses her old life. As her
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
66
parents comfort her, Joy and Sadness create a new core memory together, which
glows both blue and yellow, beginning the restoration of Riley's personality.
With Riley now adapting to life in a new city and Sadness finally having found
her place among her fellow emotions, everyone works together to help lead Riley to a
happy life as she turns 12.

Appendix B
Pete Docter
Biography
Docter was born in Bloomington, Minnesota, growing up socially isolated,
preferring to work alone and having to remind himself to connect with others. He
often played in the creek beside his house, pretending to be Indiana Jones and acting
out scenes. A junior-high classmate later described him as "this kid who was really
tall, but who was kind of awkward, maybe getting picked on by the school bullies
because his voice change at puberty was very rough".
Both his parents worked in education: his mother, Rita, taught music and his
father, Dave, was a choral director at Normandale Community College. He attended
Nine Mile Elementary School, Oak Grove Junior High, and John F. Kennedy High
School in Bloomington. Unlike his two sisters, Kirsten Docter, who is now the violist
of the Cavani String Quartet,and Kari Docter, a cellist with the Metropolitan Opera,
Docter was not particularly interested in music. Nevertheless, he can be seen playing
on Michael Giacchino's score on the Up Blu-Rayextra features. He taught himself
cartooning, making flip books and homemade animated shorts with a family movie
camera. He later described his interest in animation as a way to "play God", making
up nearly living characters. Cartoon director Chuck Jones and producer Walt Disney
and cartoonist Jack Davis were major inspirations.

Before joining Pixar, Docter had created three non-computer animations, Next
Door, Palm Springs, and Winter. He was a fan of the company's early short films, but
he knew nothing about them otherwise. He commented in an October 2009 interview,
"Looking back, I kind of go, what was I thinking?”
He started at Pixar at the age of 21, and began work the day after his college
graduation, the tenth employee the company hired, and its third animator. He first met
owner Steve Jobs when Jobs came to lay off some older workers. Docter instantly felt
at home in the tight-knit atmosphere of the company. He has said, "Growing up... a
lot of us felt we were the only person in the world who had this weird obsession with
animation. Coming to Pixar you feel like, 'Oh! There are others!”
Docter had been brought in with limited responsibilities, but John
Lasseter quickly assigned him larger and larger roles in writing, animation, sound
recording, and orchestra scoring. He was one of the three key screenwriters behind
the concept of Toy Story, and partially based the character of Buzz Lightyear on
himself. He had a mirror on his desk and made faces with it as he conceptualized the
character.
Docter has been an integral part of some of Pixar's most seminal works,
including Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc., all of which
received critical acclaim and honors. He contributed to these animated films as a co-
author to the scripts, and worked with CGI stalwarts such as John Lasseter, Ronnie

del Carmen, Bob Peterson, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, and the late Joe Ranft. Docter
has referred to his colleagues at Pixar as a bunch of "wild stallions".
In 2004, he was asked by John Lasseter to direct the English translation
of Howl's Moving Castle. Docter made his directorial debut with Monsters, Inc.,
which occurred right after the birth of his first child, Nick. Docter has said that the
abrupt move from a complete, single-minded devotion to his career to parenting
drove him "upside down" and formed the inspiration for the storyline. Docter then
directed the 2009 film Up, released on May 29, 2009. He based
the protagonist of Up partially on himself, based on his frequent feelings of social
awkwardness and his desire to get away from crowds to contemplate. Then, in 2015,
Docter left the Newtproject (which was later scrapped) to direct his idea for a new
movie, which later became Inside Out. In an interview with Jonathan Carlin, Docter
said that he has an idea for an upcoming Pixar movie about a bird and the subway
system.
