<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the characterization of the main and supporting characters in the film Aladdin (2019), directed by Guy Ritchie. Characterization is one of the important aspects in a narrative work because it determines how the audience perceives and understands the personality, motivation, and development of each character throughout the story. This research focuses specifically on identifying the characteristics of the main character, Aladdin, and the supporting characters, such as Princess Jasmine, Genie, and Jafar. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literary approach to characterization theory. The data were collected through close observation of dialogues, actions, and interactions among characters presented in the film, which were then classified based on direct and indirect characterization techniques. The direct method refers to explicit statements made by the narrator or other characters about a character's traits, while the indirect method is revealed through the character's speech, behavior, thoughts, and reactions to certain situations. The results of this study show that the main character, Aladdin, is portrayed as an honest, brave, and adaptable individual who experiences personal growth throughout the story. Meanwhile, the supporting characters play significant roles in strengthening the main character's development, each carrying distinct traits that contribute to the overall dynamics of the story.]]>
