 CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Historical Background of Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis was one of the most influential theories of 20 th century, but it was no less controversial. Both chance and selfdeterminism
played their role in the development of the theory. Chance because Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis had been dragged into the field
of psychiatry for personal reasons. Determinism because, Freuds obsessive nature and Perchant for rejecting who did not totally agree with
him largely determined the history of psychoanalysis (Boeree). Freud owed influences both to his contemporaries in the fiend of psychiatry
and to the scientific tradition of his time (Burns 70). Freud was born on the 6 th of May 1856 in Freiberg in a small town in Moravia a part of
Austria Hungary. Hailing from a middles class Jewish family, he graduate in medicine and started his research career involving the dissection of
nervous system of eels. Following this, he worked for the next years in the psychological laboratory under Brucke, from where he acquired the
outlines of physical science in general (Strachey 13). There he worked on the anatomy of central nervous system.
Psychoanalytic Theory
Here, the writer to use psychoanalytic theory to analyze. The writer should understand about the theory which has relation to the problem
that will be analyzed. Related to the analysis. To make a good analysis the writer tries to use the psychoanalytic theory because this theory to
help the writer make easy analysis. Sigmund Freud is the structural model of personality. In this theory, Freud explains that each persons
personality is formed of three parts: the Ego, the Superego and the id. Psychoanalysis is the process of using what we know about these three
part of someones personality to analyze the ways that person behaves. Literary critics sometimes analyze the actions of literary characters using
the three personality structures that Freud identified. As critics explore the ego, superego and the id of characters in a work, they focus on the
ways that these part of the characters personalities influence the work as a whole. This process is called psychoanalytic criticism.

 Id
The id is the part of the personality that contains our primitive impulses, according Freud we are born with our id. The id is important part of
our personality because as newborns, it allows us to get our basic needs met. Freud believed that the id based on our pleasure principle. The id
wants whatever feels good at the time, with no consideration for the other circumstances of the situation. The id is sometimes represented by a
devil sitting on someones shoulder. As the devil sits there, he tells the ego to base behavior on how the action will influence the self, especially
how it will bring the selfpleasure
Ego
The ego nevertheless comprises what we ordinarily think of as the conscious mind. As Freud points out in the dissection of the psychical
personality, to adop a popular mode of speaking, we might say that the ego stands for reason and good sense while the id stands for the
untamed passions. The other regulating agent that which primarily functions to protect society is the superego.
Superego
The ego is the part of the personality that maintains a balance between in the Anatomy of the mental personality, the representative of all
moral our impulses (our id) and conscience (our superego). Largely unconscious, the superego is the moral censoring Agency, the repository of
conscience and pride. It is, as Freud says restrictions, the advocate of the impulse toward perfection, in short it is as much as we have been able
to apprehend psychologically of what people call the higher things in human life.
 Definition of Character
Character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. Characters bring plays to life. The first and the last we become
absorbed in the characters: how they look what their appearance tells us about them. What they say and what their manner of saying express. What
they do and how their actions reveal who they are and what they represent. Character is all the mental or qualities that make a person, group and
nation. The characters may be flat, minor characters or round and major. The main character in a story is generally known as the protagonist, the
character who opposes him or her the antagonist. Character is revealed by how a character responds to conflict, by his or her dialogue and through
descriptions.
From the statement can be seen that character is aspect of psychic which dynamic and develop continually through in human life, because
human usually takes an attitude to respond his changeable environment, so that he also change his attitude and behavior to adapt with values and
norms in the society. And also there is other character that may receive the truth from the other character, they are:
Protagonist
Protagonist is known as main character, it is usually good person with a mix of good and bad traits of personality. Protagonist will have the journey
of experience of its life that somewhat destructs its life and its circling environment, it is mainly because the bad traits off protagonist win against its
good therefore its trouble is faced badly thus bring misery. Reaske Accounts, The main character in the plot of any movie is known as the
protagonist, neither all good or not all bad who through some flow in his character brings death or destruction Upon himself or his loves
Antagonist
The characters the role is bring trouble to protagonist is called antagonist, it function is obstruct protagonist to achieve what it suppose reach.
So, antagonist does not have to be very evil or bad. According to Reaske. The opponent of the protagonist is known as the antagonist. Ibid
 Definition of Film
Film is predeterminated by literary techniques: conversely literary practice develop particular features under the impact of film. This
means the creation of a film cannot be separated from the influence of literary techniques, many literary practices affect certain features in a
movie. As explained by Mario Klerer that film is idiosyncratic modes of presentation such as camera angle, editing, slow and fast motion.
Often parallel feature of literary text and can be explained within a textual framework. It means that the influence of very large literature in
the creation of a film. So that an image is still visible influence of literary works in it. So many of the dramatic forms in the 20 th century, for
example: have evolved in interaction with film, whose means of photographic depiction far surpass the means of realistic portrayal in the
theater.
In this research, the writer analyzed the fiction in film. According to Altenbern and Lewis (1966:14) fiction is narrative prose that is
imaginative but usually sensible and contains truths that dramatize the relationship between humans. Is mean that fiction tells the problem of
human life in its interaction with the environment and each other. The aim of making the film more the film also explains how to position
ones unconscious.
