Six Character in Search of an Author is a play by Luigi Pirandello which
tells about a group of characters who is in searching for an author. Thus, through
this thesis, I analyze the ways that the father and the step-daughter do in
struggling for their meaning of life. To analyze how they will get their meaning of
life, I use the theory of existentialism because it is the most appropriate theory
that can help me show the ways of The father and The Step-daughter struggle for
their meaning of life. However, through this analysis, I finally find out the ways
The Father and The Step-daughter do to get their meaning of life that is by getting
acknowledgement from others. They have different way to get their meaning of
life such as by creating a relation with THE MANAGER, by showing The
Father’s uniqueness and by using The Step-daughter’s past memory.
