Abstract

The researcher analyses the fear emotion which C. S. Lewis experiences when his life starts to change after he meets a woman named Joy, whom later becomes his wife. The fear which is experienced by C. S. Lewis can strongly affect him and makes him question his God, whom he never questioned before. It is interesting because C. S. Lewis has lectured many times before in church or in a Christianity community about pain and suffering, yet he ends up asking the same question as his audiences ever asked to him. The researcher uses one of narratology methods to analyse the discourses which are found, which is focalization. The focalization will help finding the fear and analysing the depth of fear emotions from the usage of words like discomfort, anxiety, hesitation, dared not. Then, the researcher uses Psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud to find out what kind of fear which are found. In Psychoanalysis theory, fear is classified into real fear and neurotic fear. Whereas real fear is rational and comprehensible, neurotic fear is irrational and expectant. Then, the researcher finds the result of this research. The result shows that fear emotion which is experienced by C. S. Lewis are all real fear, and the fear experienced are deep.
