Abstract

This study aims to analyze the defense mechanism described by the main character and its causes in the novel Who is Maud Dixon (2021). This study uses a qualitative methodology. In addition, the theory used is psychoanalysis theory which is found by Sigmund Freud (1920) to analyze defense mechanisms and the causes of defense mechanisms in this novel. The result of the thesis shows several descriptions of defense mechanisms in everyday’s life so that they are easier to understand, such as repression, denial, rationalization, projection, reaction formation, and fantasy. While the factors that cause the reaction of the defense mechanism are the emergence of anxiety, such as moral anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and realistic anxiety. Defense mechanisms are often carried out by a person to protect himself from threats to the safety of the soul, this is influenced by the role of the id, ego and superego in psychoanalytic theory. Everyone who experiences anxiety consciously or unconsciously will form a self-defense mechanism. Keywords: Anxiety, Defense mechanisms, Id, ego, and superego, Psychoanalysis
