Abstract

Faktor eksternal seperti ekspektasi masyarakat dan tekanan keluarga semuanya memiliki efek signifikan pada kepribadian manusia dan karakter, memengaruhi perilaku, keputusan, dan persepsi diri mereka. Penelitian ini melihat bagaimana keadaan eksternal memengaruhi perkembangan kepribadian Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz dalam Red, White, and Royal Blue karya Casey McQuiston. Dengan menggunakan teori karakterisasi dari Pickering dan Hoeper yang di rangkum oleh Albertine Minderop dan kerangka kerja psikoanalisis Freud khususnya gagasan tentang struktur kepribadian (id, ego, dan superego) dan mekanisme pertahanan, penelitian ini menyelidiki hubungan antara pengaruh eksternal dan konflik internal Alex. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harapan orang tua dan tekanan politik merupakan pengaruh eksternal yang penting pada kepribadian dan identitas diri Alex. Lebih jauh lagi, faktor-faktor ini memperdalam konflik internalnya saat ia berhadapan dengan dorongan tersembunyi dan harapan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya dinamika sosial dalam pembentukan identitas dan membantu semakin banyaknya analisis sastra queer dengan mengeksplorasi hubungan antara pengaruh eksternal dan pertumbuhan pribadi.

English Abstract

External factors including societal expectations and familial pressures all have significant effects on the personalities of humans and characters, influencing their behavior, decisions, and self-perception. This study looks at how external circumstances influence Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz's personality development in Casey McQuiston's Red, White, and Royal Blue. Using Pickering and Hoeper’s characterization theory and compiled by Albertine Minderop's and Freud's psychoanalytic framework specifically the ideas of personality structure (id, ego, and superego) and defensive mechanisms the study investigates the relationship between external influences and Alex's internal conflicts. The findings show that parental expectations and political pressures are important external influences on Alex's personality and self-identity. Furthermore, these factors deepen his internal conflicts as he deals with between his hidden impulses and societal expectations. This study emphasizes the importance of social dynamics in identity formation and helps to the increasing body of queer literary analysis by exploring the relationship between external influences and personal growth.
