AN ANALYSIS OF MORALITY AND IDENTITY IN THE WICKED (2024) MOVIE SCRIPT
This thesis aims to analyze the dynamics of morality and identity in The Wicked (2024) movie script using intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. The psychological literature theory used to analyze the dynamics of morality and identity is Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. Meanwhile, the intrinsic approach is applied to examine characterization, plot, setting, and theme. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, as the data analysis results in an interpretation of the moral and identity dynamics experienced by the main characters. The object of this study is the The Wicked (2024) movie script. The data in this research is collected from dialogues and narratives in the script that illustrate moral conflicts and identity changes in the main characters. The findings reveal that Elphaba undergoes moral development, transforming from an individual seeking social acceptance into someone who prioritizes justice, aligning with Kohlberg’s post- conventional stage. Meanwhile, Glinda transitions from conforming to social norms to developing her own moral understanding. The internal and external conflicts they experience reflect the tension between adherence to social norms and personal integrity. Therefore, this research demonstrates that morality and identity are not fixed but evolve through experiences and social interactions. This study provides insights into how literature portrays moral complexity and the impact of social expectations on character identity formation in a narrative.
