Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepribadian Carrie sangatdipengaruhi oleh ibunya yang fanatik terhadap agama dan teman-temansekolahnya yang selalu mem-bully dan menjauhinya, sehingga kepribadian Carrietumbuh dan menghasilkan 1) Persona yang dimiliki Carrie adalah pendiam danwaspada terhadap teman-temannya dan penurut kepada ibunya. Persona terjadiatas dasar tuntutan lingkungan dan orang-orang disekitarnya. 2) Shadow yangdimiliki oleh Carrie ditandai dengan pemberontakan, kemarahan, dendam,menyakiti secara fisik dan pembunuhan. Shadow terjadi karena ia merasa tidaksempurna dan telalu banyak mendapat bully dan ejekkan sehingga dia merasatidak memiliki sisi baik pada dirinya. 3) Animus dari Carrie muncul dalam bentukargumen yang kuat. Itu terjadi karena kelelahan dan kebosanan terhadap hidupnyayang selalu diatur oleh ibunya. 4) Self dari Carrie melalui tiga fase, yakni, fasepertama, fase penemuan tujuan hidup dari ke tiga arketipe sebelumnya untukmenjadi gadis normal, fase kedua, fase untuk mewujudkan tujuan tersebut namungagal sehingga menumbuhkan tujuan baru untuk membalas dendam kepadaorang-orang yang telah merusak tujuannya, dan fase terakhir, fase kesadaran,Carrie sadar dan merasa bersalah atas balas dendam yang dilakukannya. Ketigafase tersebut terjadi akibat adanya keinginan kuat dari Carrie untuk mengubahhidupnya menjadi hidup yang diinginkannya selama ini. Pada akhirnya, self yangdimiliki tidak berjalan seimbang sebab dia tidak dapat mewujudkan keinginannya.Kata kunci : Kepribadian, Bully, Arketipexidigilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

Hibtiyah 1CHAPTER IINTRODUCTION1.1Background of the StudyEvery human in this world possesses different personalities even thoughthey live in the same environment, even identical twins have not exactly the samepersonalities. Personality is formed due to family, environmental and socialfactors. It is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics thatgive both consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior. Traits contribute toindividual differences in behavior, consistency of behavior over time, and stabilityof behavior across situations. Traits may be unique, common to some group, orshared by the entire species, but their pattern is different for each individual. Thuseach person, though like others in some ways, has a unique personality (Feist andFeist 4).Personality with a unique and distinct pattern of human traits in eachindividual can be one of the literary studies as Hudson said in his book AnIntroduction to The Study of Literature that literature as an expression ofpersonality because literature is a criticism of life and an interpretation of life(Hudson 14). It means life in literature is closely related to real life. In the real lifethere are human who have personality, it possessed by character that can be foundin a literary work. Character is a distinctive type of person (Abrams 32). In theliterary works, almost all of the characters are created by the author with differenttraits pattern of personalities.digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

Hibtiyah 8CHAPTER IILITERATURE REVIEW2.1Theoretical FrameworkThis chapter discusses about the theoretical explanation about the relatedmaterials and concepts which is suitable with the chosen literary work. The maintheory is personality theory by Carl Gustav Jung to prove Carrieta White’spersonality and the factors which affect her personality.Jung’s theory broke from orthodox psychoanalysis of Freud to establish aseparate theory of personality called analytical psychology, but this theory still apart of psychology study which concentrate on the assumption that hiddenphenomena can and do affect the lives of all people. Jung believed that eachindividual is motivated not only by individual repressed experiences but also bycertain emotionally experiences inherited from the ancestors (Feist and Feist 98).2.1.1 Carl Jung’s Theory of PersonalityThe word “personality” originated from the Latin “ persona”, whichreferred to a theatrical mask worn by Roman actors in Greek dramas. It means amask used by an actor in a performance, or more clearly, an actor in aperformance must be someone else than being himself, but in modern times, manypeople interpret the personality to describe the identity of a person or the firstimpression inflicted someone when they were meeting and seeing each other’sbehavior (Feist and Feist 9).digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

Hibtiyah 9Although no single definition is acceptable to all personality theorists, itcan be said that personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and uniquecharacteristics that give both consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior(Feist and Feist 4). In the final result, it can be said that the personality focuses onhuman behavior or human behavior in an attempt to align themselves with theenvironment.Carl G. Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychologist whose principles havebeen found to be applicable to nearly all academic disciplines from mythology toreligion to quantum physics, and to nearly all aspects of modern life. In thefollowing selection, Jung discusses his most well-known (and controversial)concept, the collective unconscious, that aspect of the unconscious mind whichmanifests inherited, universal themes which run through all human life. Thecontents of the collective unconscious are archetypes, primordial images thatreflect basic patterns or common to us all, and which have existed universallysince the dawn of time (Jung 99).Jung is known for his personality or psyche theory he used. According toJung's opinion in the book Introduction to Theories Of Personality, personality orpsyche embraces all thought, feeling, and behaviour, conscious and unconcious toadapt with social and physical environment (Hall and Lindzey 109). In Jung’sview, the total personality, or psyche, is composed of several distinct systems orstructures that can influence one another. The major systems are conscious (ego),Personal Unconscious, Collective Unconscious and Archetypes.digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

H i b t i y a h 10a. Conscious (Ego)According to Jung’s opinion, conscious images are those that are sensedby the ego (Feist and Feist 103). The ego is the center of consciousness, the partof the psyche concerned with perceiving, thinking, feeling, and remembering. It isan awareness responsible of ourselves for carrying out the normal activities ofwaking life. Ego acts in a selective way, admitting into conscious awareness onlya portion of the stimuli to which it is exposed (Schultz and Schultz 101).For example, a baby learns to distinguish between each individual memberof his family and to distinguish familiar faces from unfamiliar faces. Based onJung's remarks, one resulting from this difference process is the ego. the ego withits consciousness also gives the filter through the filtration process, this is whatthe conscious person can do to distinguish two things from good to bad,corresponding-inappropriate, worthy-not worthy, and so on. A conscious personwill do well in interaction with their environment. The main purpose of thisprocess is for individual to adapt well to their environment.b. Personal UnconsciousThe personal unconscious embraces all repressed, forgotten, orsubliminally perceived experiences of one particular individual. It containsrepressed childhood memories and impulses, forgotten events, and experiencesoriginally perceived below the threshold of our consciousness (Feist and Feist110). Jung said the personal unconscious was the region next to the ego. Itconsists of all the forgotten experiences that have lost their intensity for somereason, possibly because of their unpleasantness. It also includes sensedigilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

H i b t i y a h 11impressions that are too weak to be perceived consciously (Jung 376). If somepeople unknowingly remember and do things they have done before or things theyhave forgotten, then it is called Personal Unconscious.Contents of the personal unconscious are called complexes. A complex isa core or pattern of experience, emotions, memories, perceptions, and wishes inthe personal unconscious organized around a common theme (Schultz and Schultz104). It means, if someone has ordinary experiences to be forgotten, but theexperience is pressed into personal consciousness, those experiences can beinterconnected to form a complex that has the potential to affect behavior, thiscomplex has the power to color the way someone thinks, feels and acts.c. Collective UnconsciousJung formulates the collective unconscious as a past pictures of the oldgenerations (ancestors), who are reborn in the structure of each individual, itmeans collective unconcious is inherited not individually (Jung 43). In otherwords, it is the storehouse of latent memories of our human and prehumanancestry. It consists of instincts and archetypes that inherit as possibilities and thatoften affect to behaviour. (Ryckman 81). Every people does not realize that thememories are the part of past inheritance and happen naturally.For example, in the Introduction to Theories of Personality, Jung gives anexample of a family environment with a mother figure, because in human lifethere is always a mother's presence, the image of a mother's presence is depictedin our collective unconscious. And this picture, quite apart from our personalexperience of our own mother, this is image or understanding universally.digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

H i b t i y a h 12d. ArchetypesArchetypes derives from a Greek compound of arche and tupos. Arche or'first principle' points to the creative source, which cannot be represented or seendirectly. Tupos, or 'impression', refers to any one of the numerous manifestationsof the 'first principle' (De Coster 6)The ancient experiences contained in the collective unconscious aremanifested by recurring themes or patterns Jung called archetypes (Jung, 1947).He also used the term primordial images. There are many such images ofuniversal experiences, as many as there are common human experiences. By beingrepeated in the lives of succeeding generations, archetypes have become imprintedon our psyche and are expressed in our dreams and fantasies (Schultz and Schultz105). For example, a teacher's archetypes are described as a compassionate andkind hearted figure, then that picture will be remembered by their students inevery era continuosly.For example, one of the primary archetypes is the mother–childrelationship, which is characterized by the mother’s protection of the child.Dissolution of this bond must ultimately occur if the person is to attain adulthood.Jung suggested that the bond is broken in many primitive cultures when youngmen undergo rituals of
