Share/Save/Bookmark

This thesis is concerned with a study of the main character's, Colonel Jacque's,
misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman in Daniel Defoe's The
History of Colonel Jacque. In this thesis, the thesis writer needs to know the factor
that causes Colonel Jacque's misconception of the idea of being a complete
gentleman, and his idea about what a gentleman is. To analyze the novel, the thesis
writer uses library research, consists of critics' opinions, the idea of being a
gentleman and also some data about the novel and the author; and literary approach
concerning characterization. In the analysis, the thesis writer assumes that Colonel
Jacque's innocence is the factor that leads him to his misconception of the idea of
being a complete gentleman. Because of his innocence, he knows nothing of the idea
of being a gentleman. His misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman
is shaped as he wants to be a gentleman; while on the other hand, he does not know
the proper manners owned by a complete gentleman. His innocence makes him take
every action he considers as the attitude possessed by a gentleman. He does not
know whether the action is really not the proper attitude possessed by a true
gentleman.
