Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis perkembangan psikologis tokoh utama dalam novel “The Crash” karya Freida McFadden dengan menggunakan pendekatan psikoanalisis Sigmund Freud dan teori perkembangan psikososial Erik Erikson. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengkaji bagaimana trauma masa lalu tokoh utama mempengaruhi perjalanan penemuan jati diri dan transformasi identitasnya di dalam novel. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan analisis teks naratif. Data penelitian diperoleh dari dialog, monolog, narasi, serta peristiwa penting dalam novel yang merepresentasikan pikiran, perasaan, serta pengalaman tokoh utama. Data dianalisis menggunakan konsep struktur kepribadian Freud yang meliputi Id, Ego, dan Superego, serta tingkat kesadaran Conscious, Preconscious, dan Unconscious, dan teori perkembangan psikososial Erikson yang berfokus pada tahap keenam, yaitu Intimacy vs Isolation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tokoh utama mengalami konflik internal akibat pengalaman traumatis yang mempengaruhi kondisi emosional dan proses pengambilan keputusannya dalam menghadapi berbagai situasi yang mengancam keselamatan dirinya. Interaksi antara Id, Ego, dan Superego terlihat dalam berbagai situasi yang menuntut tokoh utama untuk bertahan hidup, menghadapi rasa takut, serta mempertimbangkan nilai moral. Trauma yang tersimpan pada tingkat Unconscious turut mempengaruhi pikiran dan perilaku tokoh, kemudian muncul pada tingkat Preconscious dan Conscious melalui proses refleksi, pengingatan, dan pengambilan keputusan. Selain itu, tokoh utama mengalami konflik Intimacy vs Isolation yang terlihat dari kesulitannya membangun hubungan dekat dengan orang lain serta kecenderungannya untuk mengisolasi diri. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa trauma pada tokoh utama membentuk transformasi identitas yang menggambarkan bagaimana tokoh utama menghadapi penderitaan dengan kesadaran diri, ketahanan, dan perkembangan pribadi dalam novel. ***** This study analyzes the psychological development of the main character in Freida McFadden’s novel "The Crash” using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic approach and Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory. The purpose of this study is to examine how the main character’s past trauma influences her journey of self-discovery and identity transformation within the novel. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with a narrative text analysis approach. Research data were obtained from dialogues, monologues, narratives, and significant events in the novel that represent the main character’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The data were analyzed using Freud’s concept of personality structure, which includes the Id, Ego, and Superego, as well as the levels of consciousness (Conscious, Preconscious, and Unconscious), and Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, focusing on the sixth stage: Intimacy vs. Isolation. The results of the study indicate that the main character experiences internal conflict due to traumatic experiences that affect his emotional state and decision-making processes when facing various situations that threaten his safety. The interaction between the Id, Ego, and Superego is evident in various situations that require the main character to survive, confront fear, and consider moral values. Trauma stored at the unconscious level influences the character’s thoughts and behavior, later emerging at the preconscious and conscious levels through the processes of reflection, recollection, and decision-making. Furthermore, the main character experiences a conflict between intimacy vs isolation, evident in her difficulty forming close relationships with others and her tendency to isolate herself. This study shows that the main character’s trauma shapes an identity transformation that illustrates how the main character copes with suffering through self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth in the novel.
