The use of folktale as a medium of character education can certainly be explored in various ways – through the character’s behaviour, the character’s qualities, and the character’s way of speaking. Employing library and descriptive qualitative research method, the present study investigated the strategic values of mental revolution found in the main characters of Prince Pekik folktale. The finding suggests that throughout his reign the Prince Pekik possessed numerous exemplary qualities – i.e. wise, knowledgeable, motivated, smart, persistent, firm, humble, courageous, responsible, and conscionable. The implication of this study is that by studying the main character’s qualities of this folktale, character education can be taken place where mental revolusion is possibly promoted.
