Abstract

The BFG is a children novel by Roald Dahl. This novel tells about a story of the giants and the humans. The main characters in this novel are The Big Friendly Giant (The BFG) as the giant and Sophie as the human being. The novel depicts the giants as the enemies for the humans, except the BFG as the main character. The BFG can make a good relationship towards the humans. The relationship happens because of the process of self-identification. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze about the main characters’ self-identification and the relationship through self-identification. The self-identification is developed through three orders; the real, the imaginary and the symbolic order. This research uses psychoanalysis theory by Jacques Lacan. The writer uses qualitative method that is done by applying descriptive analysis. The result of the study is that the BFG’s and Sophie’s self-identification process have completed each other. The BFG identifies himself through Sophie as human being in the symbolic order; and Sophie identifies herself through the BFG in the imaginary order. The process of self-identification creates and symbolizes a relationship. According to the BFG’s and Sophie’s self-identification, the relationship created is the relationship between Sophie as human being and The BFG as human being. Their relationship symbolizes the relationship of father and daughter.
