Previously, Dory was a helping character in the original film, Finding Nemo (2003). This study aimed to identify  Dory’s characterizations by using textual analysis to find the uniqueness of Dory in the film. The analysis resulted in Dory’s paradoxical characterization where she was forgetful yet creative, reliant yet independent, and anxious yet confident. These paradoxes implied that this film portrays that negative characters can be developed into good characters. Therefore, this film can be used as media to develop characters in informal education.</p>}, number={1}, journal={NOBEL: Journal of Literature and Language Teaching}, author={Ni Nyoman, Artini and Ni Komang Arie, Suwastini and I.G.A.
