Therefore, this study aims to determine the motivation of Stepanovna, by describing Reaske’s motivation theory to reveal the type of motivation in Stepanovna. Then, the theory used in analyzing Stepanovna’s character, the researcher used Boggs and Petri characterization theory. Furthermore, the researcher used qualitative research as the method and mimesis as the approach in this research.
