Abstract
This study is an application of Freud’s psychoanalysis theory to Abagnale’s Catch Me If You Can. It is aimed at analyzing the psychological problem of Frank related to his criminal conducts for the sake of pleasure. This research is a qualitative research and a content analysis method is used to analyze the data. The object of this study is Abagnale’s novel entitled Catch Me If You Can. The data of this study are expressions in words, phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraphs taken from the novel. The writer collected the data by reading the data comprehensively and taking simple notes of the important words, phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraphs related to the topic. The data analysis was observed by using Freud’s psychoanalysis theory, focused on the system of personality, especially in the domination of the id. In order to obtain the trustworthiness of the data, the researcher used peer- debriefing method. The findings of the study show that Frank’s imbalanced system of personality is caused by the domination of his id. The divorce of his parents, which is filled with conflicts, stimulates Frank’s id to seek for pleasure through delinquency and crimes, such as engaging in sexual activity with women when Frank is still underage, doing forgeries and conning people for his own advantage. Frank’s id imposes its demands for pleasure of love to his ego and causes his ego to neglect the superego’s command to search what is demanded by the id in a lawful way. As a result, the domination of the id causes Frank to become a criminal in four continents. There is no guilty feeling at all during committing crimes because Frank’s id has fully dominated his system of personality. The term that is widely known for someone who has id- dominated personality is called as psychopath. Frank manifests several malicious characteristics which are boundless egoism, strong destructive urge, impulse control problems and increased pleasureseeking drives.
