ABSTRAK Pembahasan tema sebuah karya satra yang berbentuk fiksi tidaklah lepas dari pembahasan unsur-unsur yang terdapat dalam karya sastra itu sendiri. Unsur-unsur yang terdapat dalam karya sastra dapat berbentuk unsur intrinsik dan unsur ekstrinsik. Unsur intrinsic merupakan unsur yang terdiri atas thema,karakter, plot, point of view dll. Sedangkan unsur ekstrinsik merupakan unsur yang berada diluar unsur intrinsic. Unsur tersebut dapat berupa moral lesson, conflict dll. Dalam skripsi ini, saya membahas tentang konflik pada tokoh utama yang merupakan salah satu unsur ekstrinsik didalam karya sastra. Cakupan pembahasan skripsi ini adalah analisis terhadap konflik pada tokkoh utama dalam Lady Chatterley s Lover karya D.H. Lawrence. Skripsi ini dibagi menjadi empat bab. Bab I merupakan pendahuluan berisikan latar belakang permasalahan, pernyataan permasalahan, tujuan penelitian, dan metode penelitian. Bab II pada skripsi ini difokuskan pada teori-teori ataupun pengertian-pengertian tentang karakter dan konflik. Bab III merupakan bab yang menyajikan analisis konflik pada tokoh utama yang ada dalam novel Lady Chatterley s Lover karya D.H. Lawrence. Bab IV adalah kesimpulan dari keseluruhan pembahasan yang terdapat dalam skripsi ini. Pada bab ini juga terdapat saran-saran untuk pembaca.
