PSYCHOANALYTIC ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN CHARACTER IN TAKEHIKO INOUE'S VAGABOND MANGA WITH SIGMUND FREUD'S THEORY APPROACH

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to describe the personality structure of the main character Miyamoto Musashi in the manga Vagabond (?????) by Takehiko Inoue. The manga Vagabond (?????) by Takehiko Inoue was chosen as the research object because it contains many psychological elements apparent in the character's personality, Miyamoto Musashi. The research method applied in this study is a qualitative method based on narration and data description. The manga Vagabond (?????) serves as the data source for this research. The data accumulation process uses reading techniques, namely by reading the manga as a whole and repeatedly, then analyzing its contents, further writing or obtaining data that is comparable and relevant to the research topic. The research results indicate that Miyamoto Musashi's personality is predominantly characterized by the id, reflected in his aggressive actions and lack of concern for consequences. Although the ego and superego are present in his behavior, in extreme situations, the id appears to dominate more in determining his actions. Keywords: manga, personality structure, psychoanalysis, sigmund freud
