    (UNIVERSITY MOHAMED BOUDIAF - M’SILA, 2021-06) Hassiba FELTANE, Nabila OTHMANE
    The current study sheds the light on the role of destiny, as well as truth in building a stronger character, which can be found in the main character of Diana Wayne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle. Jones' story reveals the different behaviors of Sophie and the factors that influence her. In addition, this dissertation seeks to analyze Jones' literary work based on Aristotle's Character Based Approach theory. The first chapter aims to show the historical and social context of the theory as well as the main principles on which the theory operates, also we will talk about the most important supporters and researchers who have a great influence in the field of this theory. The second chapter analyzes the story's character taking into account the stages of her development according to the principles of the studied theory, as a result we found that Sophie has blossomed from an introvert character suffering from low self-esteem into a courageous, inspiring, truthful dazzling woman, who is determined to fulfill destiny.
