Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internal conflict experienced by the main character, Veda, in Jessika Fleck's Beware the Night. Veda is a woman who wants to fight for the revolution of an oppressed community and experiences internal conflict because of several causes around her. This study focuses on examining Veda's personality and internal conflicts. This study uses a qualitative research method to describe the internal conflict in the main character. This study employs the New Criticism theory to analyze the data. The theory sees elements of the literary text using a careful reading technique. The result of this study is Veda's brave and diligent personality. Furthermore, four internal conflicts are found in Veda's character. She fears the Night, lies, and propaganda, struggling with her reality and managing her loyalty to her community. Then, her personality leads her to make the decision to face an internal conflict in her life and protect her community.
