It is a research on semantics approach since the focus of the study is investigating the meaning as seen from characters’ utterances. Metaphor is a kind of figurative language that is learned in semantics. Figurative language is seen as a creative way of using language to express a more-in-depth meaning via a creative style more than literally.
