Abstract
This study aims to analyse Grover’s psychological problem in the novel Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. This study aims to reveal Grover’s psychological issues. Two problems should be solved, they are: (1) how are Grover’s psychological problems described in the novel? (2) How does Grover solve his psychological problems in the novel? This study uses the descriptive qualitative method. This study uses psychoanalysis as the tools for analysis. The psychoanalytical approach uses in this study is the theory of conscious and unconscious mind to show Grover’s issues with his mental. Another theory that is used in this study is new criticism. The new criticism approach uses in this study is character and characterization. This study reveals that Grover has two issues with his mental, there are: (1) Grover’s fear caused by his trauma, (2) Grover’s desire caused by his duty to protect Percy, his guilty feeling, and his unconscious desire. Both of those things haunt Grover’s mind. Because of this, Grover always shows suspicious behaviour in the novel. And yet, Grover does not want to give up his situation. He tries to solve his problem by trying to be brave and sacrifice himself (put himself in a dangerous situation or put Percy in the first place ). Furthermore, this study also reveals the connection between Grover’s trauma in the past with his act in the novel. This study also reveals the role of Grover’s trauma that comes from his unconscious mind to Grover’sbehaviorin everyday life.
