INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

A nanny or a baby sitter is a person who gets a work to take care the children.

It is a kind of job in work vacancy. Although it is a lower class job, many people still

look this for job as livelihood. It is so simple, because being a nanny does not need

any skills or any good experiences in work. A job as a nanny just claim to take care of

the children, have a good personality and also how to guard the emotions in every

situation when raising a child.

Emotions are memorable experiences that appear in daily life. According to

Robert Plutchik, he considered eight primary emotions.1 There are positive and

negative emotions. Positive emotions like surprise, joy, excitement and love.

Negative emotions like fear, disgusting, anger, guilt and sadness. All of moments

when feel love, fear, anger and else may be remembered for years in life.2

Film is a series of moving pictures recorded with sound that tells a story,

shown on television or at the cinema. Watching a film are consolation and kind of

daily activities in human life. According to Robert Stanton, nowadays, Western Film

is one of the famous popular fictions after the novel and it is not categorized as fiction

because of more tendentious to drama.3 The Nanny Diaries film is one of the famous

film works in 2007 directed by Shari Spinger Berman and Robert Pulcini.

The Nanny Diaries film is story about New Jersey one Annie Braddock,

freshly graduated with honor from New York University, who realized during a

corporate interview that she doesn’t know what she wanted to do in her life until there

is a woman, Mrs. X, who is Upper East Side clan, meets her in Central Park and looks

for a nanny for her child, Grayer X.4 The real is, to be a good nanny is not easy,

because there are many problems to take care of children, especially a naughty child

such as Grayer.

For there, the writer interests to analyze positive and negative emotions in

Annie Braddock as a main character in this film and viewed it from psychology of

emotion. It is because her positive and negative emotions that appeared in film since

being a nanny has appeared her characteristic. So the title is “The Emotion of Main

Character in the Nanny Diaries film”

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Psychology The word “Psychology” comes from Greek, namely “Psyche”, that means

“Soul”, and “Logos”, that means “Science”1 Psychology is as a discipline science that

specific to study human behavior have many space is that quite wide in field and in

human behavior. In general, psychology defines as psychology that study behavior or

an individual daily psyche in normal adult.

Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity,

including issues related to everyday life, such as family, education and employment.

Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and

social behavior.2 Psychology was born in the 1880 as the science of consciousness

and psychology may be defined as the science of individual human behavior.

Wilhelm Wundt says in his major theme, “Psychology is the study of the

normal human mind—and nothing more”.3 It means Psychology has a duty to

investigate human feelings by experiences in his/ her environment that expresses

problems.

B. Emotion Psychology of film is a film study which gaze the work as the psychological

activity. Psychology studies beside carefully examined characterization’s character in

psychologist but also the thinking aspects and author feeling when create it.4

An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety

of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are memorable experiences and ever

present in daily life. Moments when we feel love, affection, fear, anger, or sadness

may be remembered for years. These moments influence our thinking, guide our

behavior, and confuse us.5

Emotions have been studied from three points of view, namely conscious

awareness, physiology, and emotional expression. Conscious awareness is the

introspective study of emotional experience, Physiology is general organic responses

in emotion and Emotional expression is genetic study of human response. And for

this analysis, the writer chooses emotional expression, which’s by Robert Plutchik.6

C. Emotion by Robert Plutchik

Robert Plutchik's psycho evolutionary theory of emotion is one of the most

influential classification approaches for general emotional responses. He considered

4 Suwardi Endaswara, Metodologi Penelitian Sastra: Epistimologi, Model, Teori, dan

Aplikasi, (Yogyakarta: MedPress), 2008, p. 96 5 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman (1983), loc. cit 6 Henry E. Garrett, General Psychology,2nd edition, (New York: American Book Company),

1961, pp. 178-179

8

eight primary emotions, namely anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation,

acceptance, and joy. Plutchik proposed that these basic emotions are biologically

primitive and have evolved in order to increase the reproductive fitness of the human.

Plutchik argues for the primacy of these emotions by showing each to be the trigger

of behavior with high survival value.

According to this theory, emotions are a set of expressive patterns based on

adaptive behaviors. Emotions have developed into a system of communication that

conveys the inner states of the individual to others.

Robert Plutchik was professor emeritus at the Albert Einstein College of

Medicine and adjunct professor at the University of South Florida. He received his

Ph.D. from Columbia University and also a psychologist. He has authored and

coauthored more than 260 articles, 45 chapters and eight books and has edited seven

books. His research interests include the study of emotions, the study of suicide and

violence, and the study of the psychotherapy process. 7

Although emotional substrates cannot always be discerned in the behavior of

nonhuman animals, many stimuli are experienced by people and animals alike and

result in prototypical behavior followed by, generally, the reestablishment of an

equilibrium state that might not have been achieved without the impulse precipitated

by the inner state. In human experience it is common to use the term “emotion” to

describe the feeling state, but in fact emotion is considerably more complex.

7Robert Plutchik, loc. cit

9

Plutchik‘s three-dimensional circumflex model describes the relations among

emotion concepts, which are analogous to the colors on a color wheel. The cone’s

vertical dimension represents intensity, and the circle represents degrees of similarity

among the emotions. The eight sectors are designed to indicate that there are eight

primary emotion dimensions defined by the theory arranged as four pairs of

opposites. In the exploded model the emotions in the blank spaces are the primary

dyads—emotions that are mixtures of two of the primary emotions.

D. The Types of Emotion

There are many types of emotions. Plutchik developed a remarkable many

types emotion list that could be described by English words. In this research, the

writer will consider in positive and negative emotions.

Positive Emotions, namely:

1. Excitement

Excitement is an intense state of interest. It can be stimulated by novelty,

by change, by unpredicted events, or by the anticipation of some event.

Excitement is the emotion that accompanies exploration, adventurousness, and

10

risk taking. It helps focus attention and seems to strengthen or sustain problem

solving efforts. 8

The expression of excitement in humans can be seen in the behavior of

fans at a college football game. A long pass or a touch-down is a critical stimulus.

People shout, jump up and down, and wave arms, banners and scarves. At some

colleges, the fans look on more serenely than others.

2. Surprise

The expression of surprise is widely recognizable across cultures. A lifted

brow; wide, rounded eyes; and an open, oval mouth give the face an exaggerated,

rounded look. Surprise differs from interest in that it is a sudden, short-lived

emotion. We do not remain surprised for long. In the moment of surprise there is

a sharp jolt that can be experienced as a gasp, sudden muscle tightening, or knee

buckling.

According to Pluthick, surprise described as the emotional dimension

associated with orientation. The orienting response takes place while the organism

is examining something new or strange. The emotion of surprise can be expressed

as long as the object has not yet been categorized or evaluated. Once the object is

recognized as dangerous or pleasant, the surprise fades. 9

Press , 1983), pp. 341-342

9 Ibid,

3. Joy

According to Principles of Psychology book, joy same like surprise, can

not be sought directly. It seems to occur most intensely in moments that are

unplanned or unexpected. Joy may accompany triumph, creative effort, exercise,

a good meal, or a chance meeting with an old friend. The experience of joy is

spontaneous. One may strive for it by engaging in pleasurable experiences and

miss the mark. States of varying intensity related to joy are delight, happiness,

cheerfulness, and serenity. The signals of joy, especially the smile and laughter,

provide a means for communication between infants and their caregivers. 10

In responses to joyous emotion, (for example, by laughter or excited

behavior), efforts are made to prolong or continue the situation, and usually no

effort is made to avoid or end it.11

4. Love

Love is a deep sense of acceptance and commitment to some person,

object, or activity. There are five different kinds of love, including parental love,

love between friends, love a child for his or her parents, patriotism or love of

one’s homeland, and romantic love. 12

10 Ibid, p.343 11 Henry E. Garrett (1961), op. cit, p. 187 12 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit. p. 345

12

People bring out expressions of affectionate behavior in young children.

Childish affection is exhibited in hugging, kissing, or patting; later such overt

responses tend to be replaced by verbal expressions of endearment.13

Negative Emotions, namely:

1. Fear

Fear comes from terror and panic to distraction and uncertainty. These

emotions are produced by threat. The treat may be real such as that produced by a

violent storm. A person may become frightened by a shadow passing in front of

the window. One internal may frighten oneself by fantasizing that a war might

start. And finally, the threat may be the loss of a source of comfort or support

rather than the presence of a danger.14

2. Disgust

The emotion of disgust is similar to the experience of spoiled food.

Anything that is foul, rotten, or dirty stimulates a sense of disgust. The experience

may include a shudder, nausea, a desire to spit or vomit, or a verbal “uch” or

gagging sound. One common response to a disgusting act is to turn one’s face

away.

Disgust includes loathing and revulsion at the high level of intensity and

dislike or boredom at the low level. The function of disgust is to signal

contamination. A state of disgust can be stimulated by an idea or a personality

13 Henry E. Garrett (1961), op. Cit, p.187 14 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit. p. 344

13

trait. One can even feel disgusted by one’s own thoughts or actions. When

feelings of disgust are joined by feelings of anger, the outcome can be a very

hateful rejection.15

3. Anger

Anger is an emotion that is accompanied by high tension level. Muscles

tighten, the face feels hot, and there is a rising feeling of energy and an impulse

toward action. The angrier the person becomes, the harder it is to restrain a desire

for some kind of physical action.16

4. Sadness

Sadness is an emotion associated with a sense of loss. Among other

features, the expression of sadness involves arched eyebrows, slanted eyes, a

drawn mouth, and a raised lower lip. In some instances, sadness is accompanied

by sobbing, moaning, or crying. Feelings of sadness can vary in intensity. Some

different states of sadness include grief, dejection, depression, or pensiveness.

Feeling sad is associated with loss, failure, loneliness, hurt, disappointment, and

illness.

Sometimes sadness is a reaction to an external event, especially loss. The

loss may be a person, an object, an opportunity, or an ideal. At other times,

15 Ibid, p.345 16 Ibid, pp.345-346

14

sadness accompanies specific imagery or memories. Sadness or “feeling down”

can also be a result of hormonal changes, certain illness, or a symptom of some

drugs. In last case, the feelings of sadness can be increased by emphasizing

aspects of the environment that might have a sad meaning. The feelings can be

minimized by attributing them to their physiological origins.17

5. Guilt

Guilt produces a gnawing feeling in the stomach and a tight throat.

Someone who feels guilt hangs their head and avoids eye contact with others.

Guilt can be an enduring uneasy emotion in which one continues to feel that one

has wronged another. Guilt is usually prompted by a feeling of wrongdoing. It is

evoked when the person believes that he or she was responsible for the

transgression. The specific content of the wrong can vary widely across cultures

and among individuals. A person may feel guilt about violating a cultural norm,

about failing to live up to an ideal, or about having certain thoughts.18

E. Character and Characterization

Someone who appears in a work is called a character. Character is the fact of

the story. This element will function as imaginative action note in the story. There

are several authors in books tell about character definitions, namely:

17 Ibid, pp. 342-343 18 Ibid, p.345

15

1. According to X. J. Kennedy, A Character, then, is presumably an imagined person

who inhabits a story. Characters may seem flat and round, depending on whether

a writer sketches or sculptures them. A flat character usually has only one

outstanding trait or feature and tends to stay the same throughout a story, and

Round character, however, present us with more facets—that is, either author

portrays them in greater depth and more generous detail and often changes.19

2. Characters can be classified as major and minor, static and dynamic, plat and

round. A major character is an important figure at the center of the story’s action

and sometimes called protagonist. And minor character is often static from the

beginning of a work until the end. 20

3. Dynamic character is one who changes because of what happens in the plot21.

Static characters, however, remain unchanged; their character is the same at the

end of the story as at the beginning.22

4. Character is almost inevitably identified by category—by sex, age, nationality,

occupation, and so on.

For example: his name is Sonny, is simultaneously an African American, a man, a blues musician,

a heroin addict, a younger brother, an ex-convict, and a resident of an inner-city neighborhood. As

result, our interpretation of Sonny is shaped not only by our assumptions about each of these

19 X. J. Kennedy, An Introduction to Fiction, (Boston, Toronto: Little, Brown and Company,

1983), p. 46 20 Robert Di Yanni, LITERATURE: Reading Fiction, Drama, Poetry and Essay, (New York:

Mc. Graw, 2002) 5th edition, p. 1186 21 Plot is the arrangement of incidents in a narrative. The incidents are related by cause and

effect and form a sequence of events with a beginning, middle, and the end. In most story plot structures, the action begins with exposition, continues with raising action, which contains a complication, and moves to a climax, followed by falling action and a resolution.

22 Jane Bachman Gordon and Karen Kuehner, FICTION: The Elements of the Short Story (New York: McGraw-Hill Companies.Inc, 1999), p. 97

16

group helps to make Sonny who he is. Thus story asks us to think about how Sonny’s choice to be

a blues musician relates to the fact that he is African American, about the way inner-city life has

shaped Sonny’s experience of being African American, and so on.23

From all of definitions above, the writer concludes character is someone who

always appears in film, story or drama and has important in role of the plot.

According to the Art of Watching Film book, through action and dialogue,

some films focus on the clear delineation of a single unique character and with plot

can help to develop character. The theme of such films can best be expressed in a

brief description of the central character, with emphasis on the unusual aspects of the

individual’s personality.24

There are major methods to reveal character in, namely:25

1. Narrative summary without judgment. 2. Narrative description with implied or explicit judgment. 3. Surface details of dress and physical appearance. 4. Character’s actions -- what they do. 5. Character’s speech – what they say (and how they say it). 6. Character’s consciousness – what they think and feel.

Character creation is the art of characterization—what the author does to bring

a character to life, to provide the reader or the audience with a sense of that

character’s personality, to make that character unique.26 According to Robert Di

Yanni, Characterization is the means by which writers present and reveal character.

Let’s look at the way James Joyce characterizes Mrs. Mooney, a major character, in

23 J. Paul Hunter, Allison Booth, and Kelly Mays, (2002), op. cit, p. 103-104 24 Joseph M. Boggs and Dennis W. Petrie, The Art of Watching Films, (London: Mayfield

Publishing Company,2000), p. 13-14 25 Robert Di Yanni (2002), op.cit. p.56 26 Ibid.

17

“Boarding House”. “Mrs. Mooney was a butcher’s daughter. She was a woman who

was quite able to keep things to her: a determined woman. She had married her

father’s foreman and opened a butcher’s shop near Spring Gardens.”

These given facts that she was a butcher’s daughter and interpretive comment

that she was a determined woman. From both comment and fact derive an impression

of a strong woman, one who can take care of herself.

Another method for analyzing film characterization utilizes three different

types of pairings: stock characters and stereotypes, static versus developing

characters, and flat versus round characters.27

Stock characters and stereotypes are not essential or even desirable for every

character in a film to have a unique or memorable personality. Stock characters are

minor characters whose actions are completely predictable or typical of their job or

profession (such as a bartender in a western). They are in film simply because the

situation demands their presence. However, stereotypes are characters of somewhat

greater importance to film. They fit into preconceived patterns of behavior common

to or representative of a large number of people.

Static versus developing characters are often useful to determine whether

most important characters in a film. Developing characters are deeply affected by the

action of the plot and undergo some important change in personality, attitude, or

outlook on life as a result of the action of the story. Static characters remain

27 Joseph M. Boggs and Dennis W. Petrie (2000), op. cit 57-59

18

essentially the same throughout the film. The action does not have an important effect

on their lives.

Flat versus round characters. Flat characters are two-dimensional, predictable

characters that lack the complexity and unique qualities associated with psychological

depth. And round characters are individualistic characters who have some degree of

complexity and ambiguity and who cannot easily be categorized.

B. Data Analysis

According to emotion theory by Robert Plutchik, emotions are a set of

expressive patterns based on adaptive behaviors. Emotions have developed into a

system of communication that conveys the inner states of the individual to others. 1

There are nine types of emotion appear in Annie’s emotional, namely: excitement,

surprise, joy, love, fear, disgust, anger, sadness, and guilt. According to Principles of

Psychology book, there are many types emotional in Robert Plutchik theory, but the

writer just takes nine types of emotion that appear in this film.2 The emotions have

appeared and expressed in Annie’s life while she is being a nanny for Grayer in

Upper East Side clan of Manhattan in Mr. and Mrs. X house. Those emotions are

described as follows:

1. Positive and Negative Emotions in Annie Braddock

a. Excitement

Excitement is an intense state of interest. It can be stimulated by

novelty, by change, by unpredicted events, or by the anticipation of some

event. Excitement is the emotion that accompanies exploration,

1 Robert Plutchik, Wikipedia, free encyclopedia, December 16, 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plutchik 2 Newman, Philip R. and Barbara M. Newman, Principles of Psychology, (Homewood, Illinois: The Dorsey Press , 1983), p. 341-342

31

adventurousness, and risk taking. It helps focus attention and seems to

strengthen or sustain problem solving efforts. 3

She introduces as Annie Braddock, a twenty one years old woman.

She is a New Jersey girl (Annie’s voice: ...a native New Jersey girl

participating in a dreaded rite-of- passage ceremony. Doh!) She is a girl

that really excites when there is a strange place and many people around look

into her, like a ceremony.

On the picture above, the writer sees emotion of excitement in Annie.

She is a girl from New Jersey who always feels strange in the crowded place,

and always feels excitement; she can not control herself in the new place,

different and interesting, novelty/different strange person, and unpredicted

events, like a graduate ceremony in her college. And in this film shows in 3 Ibid,

32

picture 1 and the statements above, when she is walking to the stage in

nervous and then she falling down with the statements Doh!.

b. Surprise

The expression of surprise is widely recognizable across cultures. A

lifted brow; wide, rounded eyes; and an open, oval mouth give the face an

exaggerated, rounded look. Surprise differs from interest in that it is a sudden,

short-lived emotion. We do not remain surprised for long. In the moment of

surprise there is a sharp jolt that can be experienced as a gasp, sudden muscle

tightening, or knee buckling.4 And surprise can categorized as a brief

emotional state that is the result of experiencing an unexpected relevant event.

Picture 2

4 Ibid,

33

While she is being a nanny, she shows surprise on picture 2. Her

eyebrows rise, and become curve and high, rounded eyes and her mouth in

oval. The moment of surprise is sudden and short. It shows while she has a

dating with Harvard Hottie, although they aren’t a couple. In unexpected

situation, while they are going home, (1397(Picture 2, Harvard H: I saw you

in that Betsy Ross getup. (laughs) Annie: That is really kinky and weird)

Harvard Hottie flatters Annie for a kiss. Furthermore, Annie feels and

expresses surprise to know that and then she suddenly runs him after and the

statements when Annie feels surprise is to say “uh-huh”

c. Joy

According to Principles of Psychology book, joy same like surprise,

can not be sought directly. It seems to occur most intensely in moments that

are unplanned or unexpected. Joy may accompany triumph, creative effort,

exercise, a good meal, or a chance meeting with an old friend. The experience

of joy is spontaneous. One may strive for it by engaging in pleasurable

experiences and miss the mark. States of varying intensity related to joy are

delight, happiness, cheerfulness, and serenity. The signals of joy, especially

the smile and laughter, provide a means for communication between infants

and their caregivers. 5

5 Ibid, p.343

34

Picture 3

From the statements and picture 3 above, it shows that Annie finds

answer what job that she wants in her dream. In the film Annie likes a happy

girl with smile, cheerfulness, little surprise, and say “hmm” to show what she

wants to choose for the job. She says before going to sleep that she can to

know what job she must choose for in her dream (Annie: Even so, I fell asleep

confident. That I'd magically find my way.) Her mother presents in her dream

that is calling her (Mother: Annie? Annie! (Wolves howling) Annie?) Annie

can fly with umbrella to see a beautiful city from the top and in a great way

with her umbrella and say the echo “Ahh-hoo-hoo!” in her dream (Annie:

Ahh-hoo-hoo!) Mother says that Annie must go down from the sky (Mother:

Get your feet on the ground, young lady.) And the last, in her dream she smile

and says like this “I know/ yes” to try apply as a nanny for Upper East Side

clan in Manhattan ((Annie: (Sighs) Hmm. (Annie's voice: The fact that I had

no child-care experience. Mattered little to the matriarchs of the Upper East

Side.))

35

Picture 4

Annie shows joy in this film is while her mother has giving Annie a

present (Annie: What is it? Mother: You'll see. Annie: Oh, wow.-Annie: Thank

you. Mother: know it's not much, but I wanted to buy you your first business

suit. Annie: Thanks. Thank you.) Annie says a gratitude to show her

appreciate to her mother about her graduate from university and also for the

present, a formal suit to work, like blazer and skirt. It shows on picture 4, She

shows a charm smile, triumph of her graduate, cheerfulness, creative effort

because she can graduate from university although her mother just a nurse and

her mother feel happy to see her daughter had finished her study from the

university.

36

Picture 5

The last shows about joy is in the picture 5 above, Annie shows joy,

beautiful smile and to be confident, and cheerfulness at the end of the story,

because her mother has allowed her to do what she wants and wanted for her

life to study the Anthropology, because that year there are many scholarships

to study the Antropology (Annie: And once I finally, let myself say it, it was a

habit that was pretty hard to break. It is-- it's going pretty good actually.

There's more scholarships out there than I thought.) And all of mothers

certainly want her daughters and sons to be happy (Mother: It's okay. It's your

life. Personally, I think you're making a big mistake. But it is your life. I want

you to be happy.) So, Annie tries to continue her study in Anthropology and

has found many scholarships in her hand about study the Anthropology which

really her dream.

37

d. Love

The last type of positive emotion in this analysis is Love. Love is a

deep sense of acceptance and commitment to some person, object, or activity.

There are five different kinds of love, including parental love, love between

friends, love a child for his or her parents, patriotism or love of one’s

homeland, and romantic love. 6 People bring out expressions of affectionate

behavior in young children. Childish affection is exhibited in hugging,

kissing, or patting; later such overt responses tend to be replaced by verbal

expressions of endearment.7

Picture 6 Picture 7

- Whoa! - Ahh ahh! Grayer : Hello there. Annie : Hi. Are you okay? Woman: Get off of me, you pervert. Annie : Do you belong to anyone, little man? Mrs. X : Grayer! Grayer : I belong to you.

6 Newman, Philip R. and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit 345 7 Garrett, Henry E., General Psychology,2nd edition, (New York: American Book Company), 1961, p. 187

38

Mrs. X : Grayer! Oh God. Thank you so much. You just averted a minor disaster. Let me apologize for my feral son.

Annie : Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids. I'm Annie

Beside her intelligence graduated from New York University, she also

has a good personality. (Annie: Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids.

I'm Annie) She is a kind woman. She always try to be a good girl and also to

be a good friend for everyone whose there in her life. In this film she shows

positive emotion of love to a child, and to help and to embrace suddenly from

the accident scooter man has crossing in the park. She helps Grayer from

misfortune who’s nearly hit in the accident, while she is sitting in the park. On

the picture 6 and 7 and statements above; there are clear of Annie that she has

a sociable feel to people.

Annie shows love in this film when she is being a nanny for Grayer in

Mrs. X family. She feels love to Grayer and gets closer to be his nanny when

she wants to make a meal and treats Grayer to do something to be happy like

a play game and then she treats Grayer to be her friend to closer him and be a

good friend (Annie : Hey, you now, we can do lots of fun things. We just have

to be friends and we have to trust each other. Okay? Mmm-hmm. Maybe you

should have a secret name too? You want a secret name?) And Annie speaks

how to call him with nick name/ cryptic name to a friend that really Grayer

wanted and liked, such as dear, cungkring, or cicak. And then in a minute,

39

Grayer says yes that he wants a cryptic name (Grayer: Yeah, I want a secret

name.) Annie becomes happy, because Grayer has accepted her and has

answered her treat. Annie tries to mention a name like “Sponge Bob” (Annie:

Okay. How about Sponge Bob? Grayer says that is bad name if Sponge Bob

((Grayer: No, silly), (Annie: No? All right, what about... what about

Grover?)) Annie mentions another name, Grover ((Grayer: Grover, I love

Grover.) (Annie: You do? All right. Grover it is.)) And at the last Grayer

wanted and liked Grover name if Annie wants to call him and so do Annie.

Picture 8 Picture 9

Annie shows love on the statements and picture 8 and 9 above to

Grayer, she pays much attention to Grayer and tries to closer, because of her

parents seldom takes notice to him and also tries to be a good nanny, too.

40

Picture 10

Grayer tells to Annie that he loves Annie whatever she has done.

Grayer likes Annie as usual as Annie always there for him (Grayer: You know

what, Nanny? I love you best) Annie has thinking first to say that she loves

Grayer too, because if she remembers all of Mrs. X’s rules (Annie: The other

nannies had warned me about this very moment, the moment when you'll be

tempted to break the cardinal rule of nanny Dom. And yet, staring into those

big, sad, searching eyes, I simply couldn't resist. I love you too, Grove…..

Three little words made leaving this job 1,000 times harder.) And another

servant or nanny has ever remembered her to be patient to all of the happen

that there is a young, and pity son wanted more attention from his parent. To

say “yes, that she loves too” is more difficult to her to quit and leave Grayer

alone although Annie still hates all of Mrs. X’s agreements.

On the picture 10 and statements above, Annie feels love to Grayer;

she worries about Grayer’s life. She wants Grayer has not missing attention

from his parents. So, Annie always tries to pleasant Grayer. Love is not

41

always when you have feeling on your sweetheart, but also to parents, friends,

brothers or sisters. And Annie take care Grayer to be his good friend. She

spends all of her time to Grayer and tries to pleasant him with her. She pays

much attention to Grayer to show how she loves him, like to be his good

friend and also to be a good nanny for him although there are many cruel rules

of nanny rules.

Picture 11 Picture 12

On the picture 11, Annie loves her mother, although she lies to her

about the job. Annie tries to be a good daughter, make her happy to find a

good job. (-Annie: Come here. I love you.- Annie’s mother: Let me know the

minute I can visit you.-Annie: I'll call you when I get there, okay?) Before she

goes to work in summer day, she embraces her mother, to show how much

she loves her mother and also her mother to decrease longing.

On the picture 12 above, the writer sees emotion of love in Annie, give

a huge to her friend the expressive behavior to show love in daily life. (Annie:

You know, I love you, but you're harsh. -(laughs)-A little bit. Lynette: Just give

42

me a hug. Mwah! I'll see you soon, I'm sure) Annie and Lynette are a best

friend, their friendship so closer and Annie always share everything to

Lynette, like to be a nanny, just Lynette whose know what jobs that Annie

done now. Annie embraces and says love to Lynette to show that she loves her

although sometimes Lynette has bored her.

Picture 13

Harvard flatters Annie with said that he wants to make a kiss to her

((Harvard H: But I do think you should probably let me kiss you right about

now.)(Annie: What?)) And then Harvard says another statement to misheard

Annie, if we are near at the apartment, we can not meet again (Harvard H:

Well... we're two blocks from your building. And once we get any closer, I

won't be able to go near you. Which, to tell you the truth, is all I've really

thought about since that day. I saw you in that Betsy Ross getup. (Laughs))

Harvard tells the truth that he really surprise since the first meet in lift

machine last day. (Annie: That is really kinky and weird.) Annie just can say

that’s day is really embarrassed her, her pants has slipped by Grayer when in

lift machine to picks Grayer up from school. (Harvard H: You don't know the

43

half of it.) Harvard flatters Annie once again, that he really like in deep hearth

since that day in lift machine while he is escorting Grayer’s stroller.

On the pictures 13 and statements above, Annie shows emotion of love

to Harvard Hottie her sweetheart, a man that she knows live in the same

apartment which Annie work. Actually, Annie just wants to keep Grayer, but

her meeting with Harvard Hottie in apartment and in club, makes their relation

to become closer and both are fall in love. Because of his tease to Annie,

(Annie: Uh-huh. (Feet clomping)(Annie sighs))) Annie runs him after to the

Harvard’s apartment. And Annie makes a kiss with Harvard Hottie to show

that she loves him.

e. Fear

Fear comes from terror and panic to distraction and uncertainty. These

emotions are produced by threat. The treat may be real such as that produced

by a violent storm. A person may become frightened by a shadow passing in

front of the window. One internal may frighten oneself by fantasizing that a

war might start. And finally, the threat may be the loss of a source of comfort

or support rather than the presence of a danger.8

Look on the picture 14 and the statements below. Mrs. X always done

a bad attitude to Annie, and always make Annie in fear. Annie is as object

8 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit 344

44

anger for Mrs. X to express all about her problems in family. Annie say yes

and told that she has accepted all of Mrs. X has said and done.

Picture 14

Annie shows fear emotion when Mrs. X is suddenly coming to her

room to express anger emotion. Mrs. X was walking quickly to Annie’s room

and tells that underwear is Annie’s own (Mrs. X: Nanny, this is yours, is it

not?) Because of Mrs. X comes with sudden and tells that like to corner her,

so Annie says in fear and panic respond and then says uh… no, with nervous

(Annie: Uh... no, l-- no, I don't know what that is.) Mrs. X tells to Annie that

underwear for lady is in her laundry (Mrs. X: It was in our laundry. It is not

mine, it is not Mr. X's, so it has to be yours, right? Right?) Annie must to say

yes and in correct way to responds Mrs. X question about underwear that she

doesn’t know who have it. (Annie: Yes, it's mine.) Mrs. X is remembering

Annie to not let her underwear in Mrs. X’s house (Mrs. X: Please don't leave

45

your personal items lying around the house again.) Annie must to promise

and tells that she really sorry (Annie: l-- I won't. - I promise. I'm sorry.) Annie

expresses fear with panic respond, “uh…no…uh”, uncertain, and the eyes

looks open wide and to goal Mrs. X wanted (Mrs. X: I don't mean... to be a

control freak. It's-- it's just that when Mr. X is in the middle of a big deal, it

can be very hard on me.) (Annie: I understand.) Mrs. X tells that she doesn’t

want to be angry or do something that will afraid her. She just little can’t

accept what and something that really on her husband company agreement in

business. The writer sees that Mrs. X as wants to exile her husband anger to

Annie.

Picture 15 On the picture 15 and also the statements below, the writer sees fear

emotion in Annie. (Mrs. X: Don't you dare. You stupid-- you stupid girl. As if

you know anything about my life. As if you know anything about the real

world.) Annie tries to safe Grayer from bad attitude of his parent. But his

46

mother, Mrs. X feels that Annie has interfered to her problem. Mrs. X thinks

that Annie wants to know all of Mrs. X family side. Annie’s eyes open wide

and respond to go far away from it because Mrs. X has spoken in high tension

voice and rude, such us stupid, crazy, or fuck of you. Annie feels fear and sad,

because she doesn’t want Grayer will be sad again with his parent’s bad threat

to him. But Mrs. X spoken makes her to quit quickly as soon as possible.

f. Disgust

The emotion of disgust is similar to the experience of spoiled food.

Anything that is foul, rotten, or dirty stimulates a sense of disgust. The

experience may include a shudder, nausea, a desire to spit or vomit, or a

verbal “uch” or gagging sound. One common response to a disgusting act is to

turn one’s face away.

Disgust includes loathing and revulsion at the high level of intensity

and dislike or boredom at the low level. The function of disgust is to signal

contamination. A state of disgust can be stimulated by an idea or a personality

trait. One can even feel disgusted by one’s own thoughts or actions. When

feelings of disgust are joined by feelings of anger, the outcome can be a very

hateful rejection.9

9 Ibid, p.345

47

Picture 16

On picture 16, disgusting emotion shows when Annie is looking into a

refrigerator in Mrs. X house and there are stocks of Tofu. (Annie: Tofu

cutlets? - Ugh. - Help yourself to anything. Yuck.) Annie expresses disgusting

with say “ugh” and wants to foul and vomit something if she has eating food.

g. Anger

Anger is an emotion that is accompanied by high tension level.

Muscles tighten, the face feels hot, and there is a rising feeling of energy and

an impulse toward action. The angrier the person becomes, the harder it is to

restrain a desire for some kind of physical action.10

Picture 17

On the picture 17 above, Annie expresses anger to Hottie’s friends

because all of bad spoken to Annie about her job as a nanny. Annie says that

she has met Harvard from work (Annie: I know him from work.) And

Harvard’s friends answers and responds in arrogant and bad attitude, likes as

give to Annie mockeries about the jobs. (Oh yeah? What kind of work do you

do? Model? - Stewardess? - Escort?) Hottie says that she knows Annie has

working in the same place or same apartment with him. (Harvard H.: She

works for someone in my building.) And then Annie says the truth that she is a

nanny or baby sitter (Men: Oh. Annie: Actually, I'm a nanny). Annie becomes

angry because entire statements Hottie’s friend to her. The nanny is bad and

does not an interesting job to know and also has known a friend like a nanny

is so tickle (A nanny?- Dude! - ( men laugh ) You didn't tell us you knew a

nanny. That is so porno. - Are the moms hot? - Are you hot for the dads? - Are

the dads hot for you?) Harvard Hottie tries to escape those statements of his

friends, but it can’t (-Guy, - Hey, come on.) Annie’s anger emotion becomes

49

high and full, she says all of everything that she doesn’t like about Mr. X

attitude (- You want to know about the dads? I'll tell you about the dads)

Annie says that Mr. X is a man that has a baldhead, big and fat, smoker, like a

big baby and he becomes more frighten and upset to all of nanny that ever

work for him. (They’re chubby, bald, steak-eating, cigar-smoking, type-A pigs

who get more turned on by the Bloomberg Wire than they do by any hot

nannies.) And Annie says that all of Hottie’s friends will be like that in next

years and says that all of they has done now is very good, and says thank to all

of Hottie’s friends (Actually, it's all of you in about five years. So take it from

me, guys: Enjoy tonight, because your future looks pretty fucking bleak)

The writer sees anger emotion on picture above, Anger usually can

express with facial expression. Annie expresses protection to her self from the

insult of Harvard’s friends about her job as a baby sitter, and her face seems

hot. They thinks it so funny and aren’t same level like them to have a friend

such a nanny (a lower class person), she expresses in handful, spoken loudly

and angrily all about “father = her master”. It seems like to refuse all of whom

or what can shame her.

Annie wants to serve Grayer’s foods. She has done a rebellious action,

to break Mrs. X rules. Grayer has told that her mother does not allow him to

eat corn-syrup a jam that has very much fat (Grayer: No, Mommy says they're

full of high-fructose corn syrup.) While Annie wants to serve Grayer’s food, a

50

French food, but the recipes were difficult, and then a food fall down to the

floor. (Annie: Well, what mommy doesn't know won't hurt her, okay, Mr.

Tattletale? Eat it. Go on. Right out of the jar.) Annie tries to keep Grayer

from his noisy, then she gives him a corn jam that really has a fat and says

that his mother statement will not to sick and it is healthy for him.

Picture 18 Picture 19

Picture 20 Picture 21

On picture 18, Annie shows emotion of anger to break the rules of

Mrs. X. Annie gives Grayer cereal food that is really has had much sugar and

very sweet, although Grayer has forbidden Annie to take a bowl of cereal for

him. Grayer says that her mother doesn’t permit him to eat cereal (Grayer:

Mommy doesn't allow me to eat sugar cereal.) Annie gives Grayer a statement

that cereal has not much sugar in it or there isn’t sweet in his cereal, and then

51

Annie orders him to eat soon (Annie: Cheerios are sugar-free. Grover, just

eat it.)

On the picture 6, there is a scene of Annie and Grayer take a train in

subway station, the fact is in Mrs. X rules, there is a term of forbidden to go or

take the subway because of there are much microbes and a dirty place (- Rule

number five: - Annie: Rule number five! --we do not take the subway because

of germs.)

On pictures 20 and 21, Annie has done rebellious action, too. Since

she is being a nanny for Grayer, Mrs. X never permits her to take a rest from

work although that day she has had a day off. (Mrs. X's voice: Perhaps it

might be a nice morning to do something educational with Grayer, like the

Pissarro show at the Guggenheim. Grayer:Mommy said you're supposed to

take me to her favorite museum, the "Guggyheiny.") Mrs. X says to Annie

from her letter to invite Grayer to the Guggenheim, because this morning is

good, to educate Grayer in science that is really Mrs. X’s favorite museum

(Annie: Well, since today was supposed to be my day off, we're gonna go to

my favorite, the Museum of Natural History.) Annie tells to Grayer, because

this day is her rest day, She takes to go to her favorite museum, the Museum

of Natural History (Grayer: Isn't that on the West Side? Annie: - Yeah, so? )

but Grayer asks Annie that is the museum in West Side (Grayer: I'm not

allowed to go on the West Side. That's a rule.) And Grayer says more that if in

52

West Side her mother doesn’t permit him to go, because that is the rules of his

mother (Annie: Well, today just happens to be break-the-rules day.) Annie has

done it again, and she breaks the rules to show anger emotion in her feeling.

Picture 22 Picture 23 On the pictures 22 and 23, the writer sees expression of anger emotion,

too. After she has pressured and a forced to quit from Mrs. X family, her

anger emotion becomes clearly and high. Annie makes a rebellious action and

a confrontation about their bad attitude to their son and also to her. She

expresses to damage Mr. and Mrs. X house, her heart rate becomes high, her

face looks hot and wants to protect herself from all of bad attitude that she has

got since being their nanny.

On picture 22, Annie kicks little desk in front of her to show a

rebellious action to all of bad acceptation that she has accepted after quit out

from Mrs. X family in rude way. And on picture 23, Annie makes loud

sounds and she tries to look physically stronger. It seems fearful to give all

good advices to raise a child and to be a good parent with all of her statements

53

that has recorded in tape. Annie shows emotion of anger to do rebellious way,

and advised Grayer’s parent (Annie: Okay, Mrs. X, now it's time for a few

simple child-care rules. Slamming the door in your kid's face is not okay.) She

says all of the new rules to raise a child. Firstly, it is not good to close a door

in drudge high tension in front of your son or daughter. (Spending more time

on a benefit for kids you've never met than you do with your own blood is not

okay.) She says in all of Mrs. X times schedule as a social woman, a wife and

a mother, but do not forget to Grayer, her little sweet son that is really seldom

to meet. (Going to a spa when your son has a fever of 104 and not answering

emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother.) Annie says that is

not a good mother to go out for her delight, like as go to somewhere places to

beautify her body and face than prefers to do something else to take care of

her son that is really sick.

h. Sadness

Sadness is an emotion associated with a sense of loss. Among other

features, the expression of sadness involves arched eyebrows, slanted eyes, a

drawn mouth, and a raised lower lip. In some instances, sadness is

accompanied by sobbing, moaning, or crying. Feelings of sadness can vary in

intensity. Some different states of sadness include grief, dejection, depression,

or pensiveness. Feeling sad is associated with loss, failure, loneliness, hurt,

disappointment, and illness.

54

Sometimes sadness is a reaction to an external event, especially loss.

The loss may be a person, an object, an opportunity, or an ideal. At other

times, sadness accompanies specific imagery or memories. Sadness or

“feeling down” can also be a result of hormonal changes, certain illness, or a

symptom of some drugs. In last case, the feelings of sadness can be increased

by emphasizing aspects of the environment that might have a sad meaning.

The feelings can be minimized by attributing them to their physiological

origins.11

Picture 24

In this part, the writer sees sadness emotion in Annie. Annie feels sad

when she must go out from Mrs. X family and leaves Grayer alone. She is

really taking notice about Grayer’s life and his happiness. (Annie: Please

don't... Please don't do this. Not... not for me, but for Grayer. Not until you

and your husband work your problems out.) She tries to persuade Mrs. X for

not to quit her early, she stills want to take care of Grayer until Mrs. X’s entire

11 Ibid, p. 342-343

55

family problem has finished. Mrs. X is speaking loudly and rudeness to Annie

and she is becoming so angry and hate to Annie, because of her interference

about Mrs. X family problem. Mrs. X says to Annie that she is an interferer

woman and likes a predictor that really knows all of her life (Mrs. X: Don't

you dare. You stupid. You stupid girl. As if you know anything about my life.

As if you know anything about the real world.) Annie expresses sadness

emotion with cry, a sense of lost Grayer, and moan. Her face looked sorrow,

tears, crying, and helplessness Grayer.

i. Guilt

Guilt produces a gnawing feeling in the stomach and a tight throat.

Someone who feels guilt hangs their head and avoids eye contact with others.

Guilt can be an enduring uneasy emotion in which one continues to feel that

one has wronged another. Guilt is usually prompted by a feeling of

wrongdoing. It is evoked when the person believes that he or she was

responsible for the transgression. The specific content of the wrong can vary

widely across cultures and among individuals. A person may feel guilt about

violating a cultural norm, about failing to live up to an ideal, or about having

certain thoughts.12

12 Ibid, p.345

56

Annie has done a lie about a job that she has got. Lynette, her friend

has ever remembered Annie not to take this job and don’t tell a lie to her

mother about her job as a nanny in Manhattan (Lynette: not to be somebody's

servant. Plus you know you're wrong, or you wouldn't be lying to your

mother.) It is clear to express liar, a wrongdoing Annie to her mother. Annie

stills keep quite about her liar, and she knows about it and feels guilty, as has

done a wrong doing that is a lie.

Picture 25 Picture 26

Picture 27 Picture 28

Annie says to her mother in phone that’s really wonderful and it is her

dream in her life, but the truth is, she really can’t accept it in her deep hearth,

has a work as a nanny (Annie: God, everything is just perfect. I mean, the job is

a dream.) She says, it is a big chance to get this job (A little challenging. So

rewarding though.) ((Mother: How are you, honey? How's the job? How's the

apartment?) (And the apartment is just incredible) (And my roommate could not

57

be nicer.))) She says that her apartment or Mrs. X’s house is very beautiful

place and her friend is so kind and friendly. But the truths are, as the writer

catches four pictures above are: her room is beside washing machine and the

noise always there. (picture 25); her apartment is in narrow place, and there is

just have a little bed (picture 27); out side the window is just a big wall of

apartment and nothing a beautiful views (picture 26); and (on picture 28) her

friend is nothing; there is just her master, Mrs. X and she is not kind but cruel.

Picture 29 Picture 30

The writer sees more guilty emotion, because Annie has known that she

is a nanny. Her mother is really angry to her because all of Annie’s lie to her.

Her mother says that she has not ever in her life done and spoken in lie.

(Mother: Why'd you lie to me, Annie? I have never lied to you. Ever) On picture

29 and 30, Annie bows her head and avoids eye contact with her mother,

because of her lie has been known by her mother. (Annie: I know. I just... Oh,

Mom, I couldn't handle it anymore. - I just couldn't handle it.) Annie tries to

58

explain and persuade her mother, why she has taken this job and why she lies to

her mother, but her mother can not accept it. She must call her mother to help

Grayer from sick. It happened because of she can not overcome and becomes

panic to Grayer’s illness. Mother says that Annie is a clever one, and young girl,

what she can not done in her life, what is problem that she can not accepted and

finished by herself, and she says all of her complicated life can accepted and

finished by herself cleverness, just now and then (Mother: What? What couldn't

you handle? You're young, you're smart, and you’re energetic. You got this

incredibly right future ahead of you.)

From all of descriptions above, the writer concludes that Annie Braddock is

dominantly more to show positive emotions than negative. Annie expresses love and

joy more and feels worry or aware to Grayer about his life. She doesn’t want Grayer

to be a gloomy child again. She persuades Grayer to be happy like as persuades him

to go to another place that his mother doesn’t like and eat the food that really never

Grayer has eaten. She tries to close Grayer to be her friend and makes him happy in

day long. She tries to help Grayer by her attention like to be a good friend for her and

tries to solve Mrs. X problem although it makes her like interferer person and makes

her to quit in a bad way. She tries to make Mr. and Mrs. X aware of their son who

really still needs much attention in his life. Although this job is not her wish, she feels

happy and then really knows who she is. Since she is being a nanny for Grayer many

59

emotions have appeared and expressed in her life and there is a chance to know what

characteristic she does.

2. Characteristics of Annie Braddock

Annie’s characteristics that appear in this film are kind, sociable, aware and

smart woman. Annie Braddock is the main character in this film; she has an

important role in developing the story. In the beginning of the story, Annie introduces

herself (Annie voice: Name...Annie Braddock. Age.. 21. Area of interest

anthropology. Describe your work experience as it relates to your intended field, My

God. Where do I begin?”), who is she and what does she look for. Those are clear

enough to know her that she is as a major character in this story.

She introduces as Annie Braddock, a twenty one years old woman. She is a

New Jersey girl (Annie’s voice: ...a native New Jersey girl participating in a dreaded

rite-of-passage ceremony. Doh!) Annie is a round character. Round character is

individualistic character who have some degree of complexity and ambiguity and

who cannot easily be categorized.13

Annie is a smart woman. She can graduated from New York University for

business department (Annie Braddock, high honors in business, minor in

13 Boggs, Joseph M. and Dennis W. Petrie, The Art of Watching Films, (London: Mayfield Publishing Company,2000), p. 57-59

60

anthropology.) although her mother just a nurse (And here's the woman who reared

me pretty much all by herself. She's a nurse. Note the shoes.)

Beside her intelligence graduated from New York University, she also has a

good personality. (Annie: Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids. I'm Annie)

She is a kind woman. She always try to be a good girl and also to be a good friend for

everyone whose there in her life. In this film she shows positive emotion of love to a

child, and to help and to embrace suddenly from the accident scooter man has

crossing in the park. She helps Grayer from misfortune who’s nearly hit in the

accident, while she is sitting in the park. On the picture 6 and 7 and statements above;

there are clear of Annie that she has sociable feel to people.

Annie shows love in this film when she is being a nanny for Grayer in Mrs. X

family. She feels love to Grayer and gets closer to be his nanny when she wants to

make a meal and treats Grayer to do something to be happy like a play game and

then she treats Grayer to be her friend to closer him and be a good friend (Annie :

Hey, you now, we can do lots of fun things. We just have to be friends and we have to

trust each other. Okay? Mmm-hmm. Maybe you should have a secret name too? You

want a secret name?) And Annie speaks how to call him with nick name/ cryptic

name to a friend that really Grayer wanted and liked, such as dear, cungkring, or

cicak. And then in a minute, Grayer says yes that he wants a cryptic name (Grayer:

Yeah, I want a secret name.) Annie becomes happy, because Grayer has accepted her

and has answered her treat. Annie tries to mention a name like “Sponge Bob” (Annie:

61

Okay. How about Sponge Bob? Grayer says that is bad name if Sponge Bob

((Grayer: No, silly), (Annie: No? All right, what about... what about Grover?))

Annie mentions another name, Grover ((Grayer: Grover, I love Grover.) (Annie: You

do? All right. Grover it is.)) And at the last Grayer wanted and liked Grover name if

Annie wants to call him and so do Annie. On those statements Annie is a care person.

She feels what Grayer’s wanted and how to pay attention for him like to be his friend.

Grayer tells to Annie that he loves Annie whatever she has done. Grayer likes

Annie as usual as Annie always there for him (Grayer: You know what, Nanny? I love

you best) Annie has thinking first to say that she loves Grayer too, because if she

remembers all of Mrs. X’s rules (Annie: The other nannies had warned me about this

very moment, the moment when you'll be tempted to break the cardinal rule of nanny

Dom. And yet, staring into those big, sad, searching eyes, I simply couldn't resist. I

love you too, Grove….. Three little words made leaving this job 1,000 times

harder.) And another baby sitter or nanny has ever remembered her to be patient to

all of the happen that there is a young, and pity son wanted more attention from his

parent. To say “yes, that she loves too” is more difficult to her to quit and leave

Grayer alone although Annie still hates all of Mrs. X’s agreements. On those

statements above, Annie is a care person. Although Mrs. X rules makes her want to

break, Annie still thinks about Grayer’s happiness.

Annie is care person. Since she is being a nanny for Grayer, she often appears

love emotion to Grayer. Annie makes Mr. and Mrs. X realize and care to their son

with make an advice in tape recorded that she hopes Mr. and Mrs. X will listen and

62

do what everything good to raise a child. (Okay, Mrs. X, now it's time for a few

simple child-care rules. Slamming the door in your kid's face is not okay. Spending

more time on a benefit for kids you've never met, Than you do with your own blood is

not okay) She says Mr. and Mrs. X do not ever close the door in high tension to

Grayer face and they must to take care Grayer and spend more time to know him.

(Annie: voice: Going to a spa when your son has a fever of 104 and not answering

emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother) Annie says more that is

bad mother to leave his son who is getting sick.

(Mrs. X voice: "Dear Annie… It's been several months since we've spoken.

Even so, the things you said on that tape haunt me every day. And now looking back,

I don't know what to say except thank you... - and I'm sorry." "And I'm sorry. You

were so right. Of all my privileges, Grayer is my greatest. I desperately needed

someone to show me that. You did.) Annie makes awareness to Mrs. X. Since Mrs. X

has listen the recorded tape, Mrs. X feels fear and really doesn’t want Grayer will loss

the attention from her. Mrs. X really aware to take care Grayer in good way and tries

to be a good mother for him. Then, the last Annie knows who is she and what she

wants to do after quit from Mrs. X house. Annie is a grad student and has happily

dating with Harvard Hottie (After a lost summer of being Nanny, I finally got to know

Annie.)

From all description above, the writer concludes Annie as a main character is

a kind, sociable, care and smart. Annie characteristics and emotions become different.

63

It is because of, many positives emotion and good characteristics that she has done

since being a nanny for Grayer although in the first it is hard for her to a nanny. In the

first story, Annie shows to the audience about who is she14, what is she want and do

for her life, and still look for who is she now. Then, at the end of the story, she shows

to the audience that she is a grad student and has happily dating with Harvard Hottie.

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion

In this chapter, the writer wants to give some conclusions and suggestions.

The writer chooses The Nanny Diaries, a film by Shari Spinger Berman and Robert

Pulcini, who is a couple married directors and first it was published in 2007. In this

research, the writer uses psychological approach specially the concepts of emotion by

Robert Plutchik.

Positive emotions that appear in Annie are excitement, surprise, joy, and love.

On the other hand, for negative emotions that appear in Annie are fear, disgust, anger,

sadness, and guilt. Among all of positive and negative emotions that appear in Annie

are always there in every human tension in their body to express all of good or bad

conditions that happen in life.

Annie feels excitement in situation of strange place and unpredicted event in

graduate ceremony college. Annie feels surprise, when her sweetheart teases to kiss

her in that night. Annie’s eyebrow lift, wide, and her mouth open because something

new and strange that Harvard H wants to kiss her. Joy emotion appears while Annie

is dreaming in sleep. She is dreaming all of happiness to be a nanny for Upper East

Side clan, she is smiling and laughing. Love emotion appears while Annie is dating

64

65

with Harvard H. Annie loves her mother, Lynette her friend, and Grayer her master.

Annie has to embrace, to be a good friend and to kiss all of one that she loved.

is coming suddenly to show her anger to Mr. X. in the danger situation and panic.

Annie shows disgust, while she is looking into a refrigerator and there are tofus, she

expresses with said “ugh”. Annie feels anger because Mrs. X does not permit her to

off, so she breaks the rule and treats Grayer to the all of place that Mrs. X forbids to

show her anger as a rebellious way. Sadness emotion shows while Mrs. X is anger to

her, because of her interference all about Mrs. X family problem, Annie expresses

with crying and a sense of lost Grayer. And guilt emotion appears while she is not

telling to her mother about her job as a nanny; she feels wrongdoing to her mother.

From all description above, the writer concludes Annie as a main character is

a kind, sociable, aware and smart. Annie characteristics and emotions become

different. It is because of, many positives emotion and good characteristics that she

has done since being a nanny for Grayer although in the first it is hard for her to a

nanny. In the first story, Annie shows to the audience about who is she1, what is she

want and do for her life, and still look for who is she now. Then, at the end of the
