The present paper analyzes the character-transformation and personality growth of the chief character, Maleficent, in Elizabeth Rudnick's novel Maleficent (2014), which is inspired by Walt Disney's animated movie Sleeping Beauty. The study further utilize Elizabeth B. Hurlock’s structure of personality development, as presented in his book Personality Development (1974), which discusses the conditions or factors that manipulate Maleficent’s personality. This approach analyzes the character’s behaviours, thoughts, actions and motifs. Fairy tales show dilemmas and offer a range of solutions, labelling socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, separate good and evil and binds the teller and the audience into a common understanding of community. Elizabeth, in the novel, tries to describe how a villainous fairy can be transformed into a compassionate one via love. Maleficent novel is a remake of Sleeping Beauty (text), which rotates upside-down one’s fairy world as it dispense utterly with every major sexist element of the original. Maleficent changes her personality from being evil to being unselfish, which sets an example that all the evil in the world can be changed with the power of love.
