Abstract

This study aims to analyze the psychological condition experienced by the main character Chloe in "I Wanna Be Where You Are" by Kristina Forest. In this study, the writer would answer the research questions, covering: (1) How is the psychological condition experienced by the main character Chloe in Kristina Forest's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" related to the environment? And, (2), how is the interaction between the Id, ego, and superego of the main character Chole based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic personality theory? This study used a qualitative research approach with content analysis. In analyzing the novel "I Wanna Be Where You Are", the researcher used the theory of psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud. The psychoanalytic theory contained in this thesis included a personality system consisting of the Id, Ego, and Superego, as well as personality dynamics consisting of instincts and anxiety. The researcher divided the tape into three different locations to analyze the psychological situations and interactions between the main character's Id, Ego, and Superego. This was done so that the researchers and readers could grasp Chloe's personality in a different setting. The findings revealed that Chloe's Id personality’s psychological conditions—extreme anxiety, lack of self-confidence, and a little fear—were caused by her mother's overzealous parenting style when caring for her child. Chloe’s severe anxiousness affected Eli in school, who was initially assumed to be nasty but turned out to be the reverse. Chloe was surrounded by positive-energy people who gradually transformed her Id while she was on her way to audition for professional dancers. At the end of the story, Chloe was a courageous and confident person in the community, and her nervousness had vanished, so she complimented a strong superego for assisting her in changing herself for the better and achieving her dream of being a professional dancer.
