Abstract

This research aims to discuss Account in The Devil All the Time movie script,based on Scott and Layman’s (1968) theory on the Justification and Excusesaspects. Data was collected through searching, downloading, reading, watching,and coding and the data collected was analyzed through several steps; presenting,describing, interpreting, classifying and concluding the results of this research.The results showed that the account really exists and is applied by the character.The researcher finds several types of accounts, namely justification 5,defeasibility 3, scapegoating 3, and biological 2. One type of account was notfound, namely an accident. In the finding, the researcher finds that every excusecontains justification but every justification does not contain an excuse.Moreover, the justification aspect is more dominantly used because the characteralways justifies bad behavior of others or themselves. In excuses, thedefeasibility aspect is used because many murders are committed on the basis ofvictims who deserve to be killed. The scapegoating aspect is used by thecharacter to accuse others of the mistakes he made so as not to become a suspectof his actions and the biological is the last factor that causes Account’s behaviorin this Movie script.
