Abstract
This research uses new criticism in order to analyze Nora’s characterization. Freud’s concept of personality development which contain id, ego, and superego also uses to find out the way Nora discovers herself. The descriptive qualitative method uses to make the analysis more systematic. This research reveals that Nora is characterized as a smart and talented girl but indecisive and easy to surrender. She is also described as an unsociable character which influences her action in facing a problem. The way she faces a problem is also affected by id, ego, and superego. The researcher finds out that Nora’s id is wanting to be accepted, especially by all her loved ones. Feeling unaccepted and excluded from others makes Nora decides to commit suicide which is her ego. Instead of dying as she wants, Nora is in a coma. Throughout the coma, Nora dreams of trying to be everything that she could not be in her root life. Experiences many lives that she wants to, Nora’s superego leads Nora to discover that everything is not always can be as she expected. She realizes all the kindness of her root life that she does not know before. She also rediscovers her potential within herself. She is eager to live and do many things.
