	abstract = {Introduction This research investigates Peter Augustus Duchene's journey through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Kate DiCamillo's \"The Magician's Elephant.\" Problem Statement: The narrative presents the challenge of Peter fulfilling his fundamental human needs through his experiences. Relevance/Significance of Study Analyzing Peter's Progression through Maslow's Hierarchy offers insights into character development and portrayal of human motivation in the literature. Purpose of the Research This study aimed to determine how Peter Augustus Duchene meets his physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs within \"The Magician's Elephant.\" Research Methodology Employing a library research approach, this study analyzes primary data from the novel alongside secondary sources on Maslow's theory and narrative elements (character, characterization, conflict, setting). Key Findings: This study reveals Peter's successful fulfillment of physiological, safety, and love and belongingness needs, largely due to the support of the Matienne couple, the fortuneteller, Vilna, and other people in Baltese. Meeting these needs fosters self-esteem and independent decision making, ultimately leading to self-actualization. State of The Art This study provides a focused analysis of Peter's journey through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs within the narrative, highlighting the connection between psychological theory and literary character development. Future research could extend this framework to other characters and literary works.},
