Analisis Perkembangan Karakter Tokoh Chen Jian Ho dalam Film A Sun Karya Chung Mong Hong

Abstract

This study explores the character development of Chen Jian Ho in Chung Mong Hong's film A Sun using a literary psychology approach. The main focus of this study is the development of Chen Jian Ho's personality, which is analyzed through Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, which includes the personality structure of the Id, Ego, and Superego, as well as the influence of social environmental factors on the formation of the character's identity based on Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, specifically in the identity vs. identity confusion stage. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that Chen Jian Ho experienced significant character development, from an impulsive individual controlled by the Id, developing into a more realistic person through the Ego, until reaching moral awareness through the Superego. In addition, social environmental factors such as the role of parents, social pressure, and relationships with peers played an important role in the process of searching for his identity. This study shows that the character development of the protagonist is not only influenced by internal conflicts, but is also closely related to external influences from the social environment.
