Banyak orang memiliki alasan yang berbeda dalam mengadopsi anak.Mereka mungkin mengadopsi anak karena memang tidak bisa mempunyai anakdalam waktu yang lama.

Di novel ini, The Bean Trees, Taylor, sangtokoh utama, memiliki motivasi yang berbeda dalam mengadopsi anak Indian.Taylor belum menikah tapi dia mengadopsi Turtle, seorang anak Indian.

Terdapat dua masalah yang dibahas dalam skripsi ini. Masalah pertamaadalah bagaimana Taylor Greer, tokoh utama, digambarkan dalam novel ini?Kedua, apa motivasi Taylor dalam mengadopsi seorang anak Indian?

Metode yang digunakan pada skripsi ini adalah penelitian perpustakaan.Sumber utamanya adalah novel The Bean Trees karya Barbara Kingsolver.Sumber-sumber lainnya adalah buku dan artikel tentang teori Karakter danKarakterisasi, teori Pendekatan Psikologi dan teori Motivasi. Karena skripsi inimenganalisa motivasi seseorang, maka pendekatan yang digunakan adalahpendekatan psikologi.

Ada dua hasil berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan. Hasil analisa pertamaadalah karakteristik Taylor. Berdasarkan teori Karakter, Taylor adalah tokohutama dan komplek. Taylor juga digambarkan sebagai seorang wanitabertanggung jawab, berani, optimis, sensitif, penyayang dan perhatianberdasarkan teori Karakterisasi. Karakteristik Taylor dianalisa melaluikarakternya dilihat dari tokoh lain, ucapan, pikiran dan reaksinya.

Hasil analisa kedua menyatakan motivasi Taylor dalam mengadopsiseorang anak Indian. Ada lima motivasi mengapa Taylor mengadopsi Turtle, anakIndian. Motivasi yang pertama adalah motivasi mendekat. Motivasi kedua adalahmotivasi menjauh. Ketiga adalah motivasi pencapaian. Motivasi keempat adalahmotivasi afiliasi. Motivasi yang kelima adalah social facilitation antara Taylor danEsperanza.

Beberapa saran tersedia bagi para peneliti selanjutnya yang tertarikmenganalisa novel yang sama. Mereka dapat menganalisa persepsi Taylor tentangmakna keluarga atau tentang feminisme yang ditemukan dalam novel The BeanTrees.
