Changes in the character of the main character are examined using the theory of behaviorism of Frederic Skinner which proposes behaviorism which includes three aspects, namely, stimulus, response, and effect. This research uses a qualitative approach that will produce descriptive data in the form of written words from the observed characters. The data source comes from the novel Catatan Juang by Fiersa Besari published in 2017 by Kepustakaan mediakita with a total of 306 pages. The data taken is in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and paragraphs that refer to changes in the character of the main character. The techniques used use documentation techniques or literature studies followed by recording techniques. When all the data is collected, the next process is data analysis which is carried out by reducing data, presenting data and then drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that the main character, Suar, has indeed undergone a transformation in character Initially melancholic, introverted, and closed off, Suar has now become more cheerful, caring towards others, extroverted, and eager to try new things ultimately, Suar's life aligns with her long-held dreams
