This thesis is written to analyze the idea of friendship between the two main
characters in Kate and Emma, written by Monica Dickens. Kate and Emma have
differences in every aspect of their lifes, but despite all the differences that divide
them they become friends. By discussing the friendship in this novel, the thesis writer
wants to find out what factors that make Kate and Emma, the two opposing
characters, can be good friends. In analyzing the topic above, the writer applies the
theory of characterization. She also uses the theory of approval and compatibility of
needs, as the psychological approach in order to support her analysis. In the analysis,
the writer wants to prove that friendship can exist between two different characters.
As it is reflected in Kate and Emma's friendship, Emma comes from middle class
family, well educated, and a magistrate daughter, while, Kate comes from lower
class family, uneducated, victim of child abuse. Emma is kind, social, loving, and
caring person meanwhile, Kate is sadistic, cruel, selfish, irresponsible, immature, and
careless person. Nevertheless, the contrastive differences attract and collide them into
friendship and make them become "blood comrade", As a matter of fact, it is more
attractive to build a friendship with someone who has different background, character
and perspective from us. It is because the two contrasting things can fulfill and
complement each other need and act
