Certain psychoanalytically categorised behaviours exuded from the characters that affect their disposition towards the events they undergo throughout the story, also defines their similarities and contrasts. This study used the qualitative method, that focused on collecting and describing written data from the source material and interpretation.&nbsp; The results of this study show that the representations of loss and recovery are identified in both characters and their behaviours that were psychoanalytically categorised. Through this categorisation, Anne and Mary’s initial opposition in their dispositions gradually began to alter their perception which allowed for comparisons to be drawn for their similarities and differences.</p> Jacqueline Candace Luntungan Stephani Johana Sigarlaki Andriyani Marentek Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of English Language and Literature Teaching https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-01-24 2025-01-24 9 01 1 15 10.53682/jellt.v9i01.9229
