Abstract

This final project is about internal conflict, and ambitions found in the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. This final project focuses on Amir as one of the characters in the novel. The aim is to describe Amir's character and Amir's life, his mistakes against Hassan, and ambition to make up for all his mistakes with Hasan in the novel. Internal conflicts are evaluations that contain both positive and negative feeling about objects. This research uses descriptive qualitative and applies psychology theory and psychoanalysis approach by Sigmund Freud to find out the problem dealing with the internal conflict. This type of research is library research which collects books, journals, and internet references that have a relationship with this analysis. Then, the secondary data were the interpreting, analyzing, commentary discussion of the primary source. The data were collected by means of reading and identifying data. Those collected data will be presented in the appendices which are the answers of the research questions. From the data analysis I conclude that the main character’s psyche can be explained by using psychological model by Sigmund Freud called tripartite model which consists of id, ego and superego. The internal conflict in the novel is described by the ambiguity of Amir and his dependence on his close friend and the impacts of the internal conflict on him and also on Hassan as his close friend. The results of the study show that Amir is one of the main characters in the novel who has a developing character. It happened because Amir struggled to achieve his ambition and also his personality which changed in the novel. In addition, Amir's mistakes led him to do some ambitions to make up for those mistakes in his life.
