The Conflicts of the Main Character in The Sound of Music
Abstract
Most people enjoy watching films. One of the films that teaches a lot of life
lessons is The Sound of Music, a legendary musical film that was made in 1965. In
this thesis, the writer analyzes the main character in the film, Maria von Trapp, as the
focus of the study. The objective of the study is to find out the conflicts that happen to
Maria, the possible causes of the conflicts, how Maria manages the conflicts, and the
effects of Marias presence in the von Trapp family. The analysis found that Maria
faced two internal and four external conflicts. The possible causes of the conflicts
came from both outside and inside Maria herself. However, Maria managed the
conflict quite well with a little help from the Reverend Mother. Maria brought
significant changes to the von Trapp family. She made the von Trapp family, who had
been so stiff and gloomy since the death of the mother, happy and warm again.
