Abstract
This study aims to analyze the process of personality development by the main character, Caitlin, in the novel Hold Still (2009). This analysis reveals how the main character goes through the process of personality development when she loses her best friend. This analysis is a text-based interpretation based on the concept of personality development theory proposed by Elizabeth. B. Hurlock (1974). This analysis uses fictional devices such as characters, plots, and settings to help the analysis process to explore an issue. The results of the study indicate that the main character goes through a process of personality development through several factors such as The change of significant people, strong motivation, and a change of Self-concept.
