Keywords: analysis, characters, characteristics, characterization, short movie INTRODUCTION Character is someone who appears in a story, such as in short stories, novels, dramas, or movies.Abrams (1981) revealed that the people who appear in narrative or drama where the readers interpret is having certain moral qualities and inclinations whichdelivered in a speech andactionthat we called it as‘character’. Characters are also known as ‘the actor’ of the story.The characters that appear in the story have different characteristics. It’s supported by Nurgiyantoro (2010) that there are some characteristics that the characters have, namely protagonist and antagonist.A protagonist is that a character who has a good personality that always appears in the whole story. While antagonist is a character who hasa bad personality and it usually contradicts with the protagonist. Characterization is literally differentfrom character and characteristic because ithas a wider meaning. Characterization is covered all about who is the characters, how is the characteristic, and how does the illustration of the story tell us. According to Nurgiyantoro (2010) , there are four kinds of characters based on the differentiation of characterization, namely main character & peripheral character, protagonist & antagonist character, flat character & round character, and static character & developing character. The differentiation of the characters will be explained as follows: 1) Main Character & Peripheral Character Main Character is the character that always appears in the story from the beginning to the end of the story. It because the main character always appears in the story it makes them influencing the development of the plot. Besides that, Peripheral Characters cannot change the plot a lot because they sometimes appear in the story (it can be in the middle or at the end of the story) . 2) Protagonist & Antagonist Character Protagonist Character can be called the hero whom the characters could give a sense of sympathy and empathy. It makes us think that the problem that he/she faced is also a problem that we have. While Antagonist Character is a character that contradicts with the protagonist. This character can cause conflict and tension created between protagonists and antagonists. 3) Flat Character & Round Character A flat character is a character that has one quality of character and action or behavior that reflects their characteristic. While Round Characteris a complex character that has other sides of their personality. It means that the character has many personalities or sometimes cannot predict it. 4) Static Character & Developing Character Static Character is characters who essentially do no change or even developing their characteris
