CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents background of the study,
questions of the research, objectives of the research,
important of the research, scope and limitation, and
definition of key terms, and organization of the study.
Each section is described as follows:
1.1. The Background of the Research
Essentially, the most difficult creature to
understand is a human because they always have secret
in their lives. As usual, they will keep and not allow
other people to know their problems because they feel
that it is not important to share their problems.
Furthermore, they are shy to share it. Regarding of the
impact because they cannot express their problems, they
become quieter, grumpier, do something strangely, and
can change their behavior in the future. Based on that
case, the theory that deals with human being is
1
psychology. It is a theory which attempts to examine
the problem faced by human. Miller adds that (1974: 4)
psychology is a science that attempts, predicts,
controls, and explains human behavior (Salam, 2014:2).
Addition, Atkinson that psychology is a science that
observes and learns about human behavior (Minderope,
2011:3). Thus, psychology is a science that observes,
predicts, controls, and learns about human behavior. In
this case the science can help people to deal with the
problem.
This theory is developed by psychiatry named
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). He states that psychology is
a science which can explain about the psyche structure
and personality of human. By developing it, psychology
can be associated to other knowledge. One of them is
literature. The relationship between psychology and
literature is the literary works which reflects psyche,
condition, and personality of human which is created by
2
making story. Thus, the literary works can be analyzed
by using psychology perspective.
Literary work is a unique art work and it also has
beauty. It can be seen in several aspects, which are
the style of language, choice of words, the problem in
the story, the character in the story and others.
Minderop conves that the experts thought literary work
is a work that uses a beautiful language and has
different language from other works. The language of
literary work is unique because it has style of
language, symbol, and the sign of language or it can be
called literary devices (2011:73). Because of those
things, the literary work attracts many people to read
and feel curious to read and know more about the story
behind the creation of those. In literary works,
definitely characters exist and every character has
their characterization. Therefore, it makes literary
work is able to be analyzed by using psychology
perspective.
3
The aspect of psychology in literary works can be
seen in the psychology of author and the character from
the story. According to Greibstein study of character
in literary work by adapting psychoanalytic method as
self-complete entities wholly within context of the
work (Budiman, 2011:5). Analyzing character in the
story by using psychology perspective, it can be looked
through the developing of the character. For instance,
the reason why particular character is bad, it can be
seen from the character live. Psychology has
relationship with psychoanalysis, because
psychoanalysis also discusses about psyche structure of
human. Asch (1959: 17) states that in psychology, there
is a theory that is psychoanalysis that decisive and
systematic explains the structure of the human psyche
(Salam, 2014:2). Thus psychoanalysis can be selected to
analyze a literary work.
Novel is one example of literary work that can be
analyzed by using psychoanalysis perspective. It has
4
two aspect that builds story whic is intrinsic and
extrinsic. According to Kennedy (1983:89) novel is a
product of literary work that contains two aspect
intrinsic and extrinsic (plot, setting, character,
conflict, personality, point of view and others)
(Hasmiati, 2012:2). Those elements can be seen and
analyzed in many perspectives, especially
psychoanalysis.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is one
example of novel, written by J.K Rowling and published
by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom, US and other
English-speaking countries on 16 July 2005 (Rowling,
J.K, 2005). This book is the sixth book of the Harry
Potter’s sequel. This book was adapted into film by
David Yates as a director and produced by Warner Bros
Picture and it was released in Canada, the UK, and the
US on July, 15 2009 (IMDb, 2014). The novel of Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has won several awards, such
as Winner of the British Book Awards, WH Smith Book of the Year 2006,
5
Royal Mail Award for Scottish Children's Books for ages 8–12 in 2006 in UK
(Harry Potter, 2006). Not only the book but also the
film has won several awards and been nominated in
several award for film, which won ASCAP Award as Top Box
Office Film in 2010, MTV Movie Award as Best Villain “Tom Felton” in 2010,
and as Nomination Oscar as Best Achievement in Cinematography “Bruno
Delbonnel” in 2010 (IMDb, 2014).
This series tells us about dark wizard “Lord
Voldemort” who has secreat life that influences his
character in life. It also tells us about the nasty
action of Voldemort such as, he did several murders, he
wanted to take control the magic world by destroying
the wizards who did not support him and demolishing
muggle (people who do not have power of magic) and he
was assisted by follower “Death Eaters” for his plans.
And the other hand, Harry Potter in his sixth year at
Hogwarts had journey with Professor. Dumbledore
(Headmaster of Hogwarts) revealed Lord Voldemort’s past
and found the horcux (the powerful object in which
6
wizard or witch hidden their piece of soul for the
immortality) of him. He believed that if Harry Potter
knew more about Voldemort’s past, he would be easily to
beat Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore’s journey began by
visiting the old house of Voldemort and orphanage where
he lived after Voldemort’s parents died. They also
visited the place where the hidden horcrux. On their
journey, Harry Potter found the secret life of
Voldemort and the reason why Voldemort became the dark
wizard.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince told us
more about the past of Voldemort and the reasons why he
became the dark wizard. Here, one by one the secret
life of Voldemort revealed. One of them is voldemort’s
father who was a muggle and his mother was a witch.
When Voldemort was still in the womb, her father left
her mother because he just realized that his wife was a
witch. Because of that, Voldemort hated muggle and
killed her father by using his hand. Voldemort began to
7
learn about the dark magic because he desired to be
someone who was frightened by people and he wanted to
take control of wizard world. One of the nasty things
that Voldemort had ever done was making horcrux. To make
horcrux he had to kill someone in advance.
Based on the story above, the significant thing in
this novel was everything that Voldemort did deal with
his past. His experience about his past was bad, his
mother died when he was still baby, of course he lacked
of affection, when he lived in orphanage he had not
friends so he always made something bad or disturbed
his friends in orphanage by stealing the things of his
friends, he did several murder cases. Because of
several reasons, he became the cruelest dark wizard in
wizard world so the people frightened of him. Therefore
it can be inferred from the synopsis that his character
was bad and weird because he liked to kill people who
did not want to be his follower and fought him. He also
8
had ambition in life to be powerful and immortal. He
also liked to be superior to everyone around him.
Based on the background above, the writer is eager
to analyze this novel because it has psychoanalysis
perspective in Voldemort. Psychoanalysis according to
Freud is the study of human’s mind which is influenced
by unconscious mind on the behavior. His study
emphasize that the childhood events can be potentially
influence the mental of someone. Psychoanalysis has
several basic fundamental; one of them is the
development of personality in person is determined by
events in early childhood. It matches with the
personality of Voldemort that he is influenced by
events that happen in early childhood. Thus, the writer
decides to use theory of psychoanalysis to analyze and
observe about Voldemort’s personality.
The psychoanalysis of Lord Voldemort in Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince grabs attention of the
writer to be analyzed and observed. It is fascinating
9
problem to be analyzed in psychoanalysis perspective by
using theory of Sigmund Freud. The writer is also
interested to analyzed novel as object of study because
novel has lots of elements that can be analyze in many
ways. It is hoped that this research will bring many
contributions in studying literary works, especially in
psychoanalysis point of view. In addition, as far as
the researcher’s knowledge, the research about
psychoanalysis of Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince has not been conducted yet.
1.2. The Questions of the Research
1.2.1 What is the character of Voldemort
potrayed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?

1.4. The Important of the Research
This research is hoped that it will bring benefit
for the writer and the reader who analyze about a
literary work. By reading this research, the reader
will understand about development of characterization
of Voldemort based on psychoanalysis perspective.
Besides, this research will expectedly increase the
interest of other researchers to do a similar kind of
research.
In addition, as far as the researcher’s knowledge,
the research about psychoanalysis of Lord Voldemort in
11
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince novel by J.K Rowling is
still hard to find. Research on this novel will give
benefits because of offering some contribution on
literary study especially to give new information in
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince novel to further study.
Furthermore, this research will be able to be used as
an input for teachers and students in order to have a
better understanding about psychoanalysis approach in
the novel. It is also hoped that the readers can be
more interested in reading, understanding and enjoying
literary works.
1.5. Scope and Limitation
In this research, the writer’s scope deals with
the study of characterization based on psychoanalysis
approach. Furthermore, the writer just scopes the
analysis about Lord Voldemort characterization in Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince novel by using theory of
psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud. The data to support
this research are taken by analyzing the novel and the
12
resource that related with the novel. The object of the
study is a novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
1.6. Definition of Key Terms
In Order to get understanding to avoid
misinterpretation, it presents several definitions of
key terms, those are as follow:
1.6.1 Lord Voldermort
Tom Marvolo Riddle is the real name of
Voldemort. That name has given by his mother
when Riddle was born. J.K. Rowling describes
Voldemort as antagonist character because he
always does anything that makes people suffer
and pain, for instance he makes people afraid
of him by killing and giving terror and he has
ambition in life is to become all-powerful and
immortal. He also likes to be superior to
everyone around him.
1.6.2 Character
13
According to Abrams, character is the
name of literary genre display in particular
type of person (1999:32); Kennedy and Gioia
state that character is a person who lives in
a story (2007:73). Character has several
types, for instance antagonist, protagonist,
static, and dynamic.
1.6.3 Characterization
The method uses to describe the nature of
the character in a story (1967:3). There
are two methods to reveal it, direct (telling
and indirect (showing). Following Klarer, he
assumes that telling is a method which
describes character through the narrator
(2004:18-19). Abrams states that showing is a
method that the author lets the character
presents her or his personality by talking
and acting (1999:35).
1.6.4 Psychoanalysis
14
Brenner mentions that psychoanalysis is a
scientific discipline which discusses about
human mental (Minderop, 2011:11); Eagleton
says that, Freud believes that human’s mind
is influenced by unconscious mind because
human personality is developed by human
experience (Minderop, 2011:13).
1.6.5 Id, ego, superego
Freud adds that the id is pulsi
reservoir and a source of psychic energy. Id
as psychic energy that force human to
fullfill the basic need, like eat, sexs, and
reject the pain or uncomfortable (Minderop,
2011:21). The Ego likes prime minister has
job to finish the problem that has relation
with reality and he also fulfills the
pleasure of human (Minderop, 2011:21). The
superego is a moral system, it as judge to
15
judgment whether the action taken is right or
wrong (Fudyartanta, 2012:141).
1.7 Organization of the Research
The writer divides this thesis into five chapters.
Chapter one is the introduction which consists of the
background of the research, questions of the research,
the objectives of the research, the important of the
research, scope and limitation, definition of key
terms, and organization of the research. Chapter two is
the review of related literature that consists of
definitions that relate to the topic of this research.
Chapter three is the research methodology. Chapter four
is the analysis. And the last, chapter five is the
conclusion that is gained by the writer after doing
analysis.
16
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter explains the review of related literature.
This chapter is divided into three sub headings. Those
are literature, character and psychoanalysis. Those
three sub headings are clarified as follows.
17
2.1 Literature
Human’s life is able to be displayed through
literature. Literature is somewhat called imaginative
product of human’s thought. Thus, literature and
human’s life has been united for ages. Regarding of it,
literature is not able to be separated from human and
humanity concept. Almost all of the literature works
delineates human being life, such as love, friendship,
dignity, divinity, belief, and betray. Robert and
Jacobs (1986:3) adds that literature is related to the
truths of human life, it may be based on the situation
that have never occur and which may never occur (Elyla,
2010:7).
Moreover, literary works is creative product. It
can be seen from the choice of words, the plot of
story, and the character of story. Minderop conveys
that the experts thought literary work is a work that
uses a beatiful language and has different language
from other works. The language of literary work is
18
unique because it has style of language, symbol, and
the sign of language or it can be called literary
devices (2011:73).
Literature is divided into two types, fiction and
non-fiction. Fiction deals with the actual events, such
as auto-biographies and non-fiction deals with the
untrue story or in short, it presents a made up story
according to author’s imagination, such as fantasy,
science fiction, and romance. In Klarer’s view, in the
eighteen century literary work has been classified into
three major, they are fiction, drama, and poetry
(2004:9). In fiction, novel is one product of literary
works.
2.1.1 Novel
The word, “novel” comes from Italy novella which
means news or new. Novel is a long story that describes
characters and events. It is one of in categories in
fiction. Work of novel deals with imaginary from the
author and it contains many pages. Abrams states that
19
novel is work of fiction written in prose. It is a long
story which contains lot of pages (1999:190). Because
of its long, elements in novel are wider than elements
in a short story. . It has two aspect that builds story
whic is intrinsic and extrinsic. According to Kennedy
(1983:89) novel is a product of literary work that
contains two aspect intrinsic and extrinsic (plot,
setting, character, conflict, personality, point of
view and others) (Hasmiati, 2012:2). Based on the
theories of the experts above, novel is one of the
literary works that the story is long and contain lots
of pages. There are some aspects to build a novel:
intrinsic and extrinsic (plot, setting, character,
conflict, personality, point of view and so forth). The
elements of novel are able to be seen and analyzed in
many sides.
2.2 Character
Generally, a literary work especially fiction
(novel) has elements to develop the story. One of them
20
is character. Character is one of the essential things
in a novel. The story will be useless if it does not
have character inside even though the story has a good
setting, plot, and theme. Following Potter explains
that character is a basic element in imaginative
literature (1967:1). Character means the person in a
story who describes in particular quality. Kennedy and
Gioia state that character is a person who lives in a
story (2007:73). Same as in the previous theory, Abrams
also adds that it is a person represented in narrative
work who sketches in a particular type. Character can
be interpreted in several ways, such as from what he or
she says what they do, or what another person says.
Abrams also describes that character can be interpreted
by inferences from what the person says (dialogue) and
what person does (action) (1999:32-33). Similar with
Abrams, Robert (1969:11-12) defines the character can
be inferenced by taking an action, thought, expression,
attitude, what she or he says and what he or she says
about him (Elyla, 2010:8). In this way, character is a
21
person who lives in a story and sketches in a
particular situation and type of it can be seen in many
ways, such as what she or he says, what the people said
about him, expression, and attitude.
According to the several theories in the previous
paragraph about the meaning of character, furthermore
character is also classified into several types; the
character based on the role and based on the
development. Here, the kinds of character based on
role; protagonist is the essential character of the
story. It can be called as the main character. Like
Potter says that protagonist is always the focal point
of a story and forefront of the action (1967:7).
Actually, a protagonist is faced with conflict that
must be resolved. Robert and Jacobs (1986:136) state
that it is the central to do action and against an
antagonist (Elyla, 2010:8). In this way, protagonist is
a person as central character in a story who has
conflict with an antagonist; antagonist is an opposite
22
of protagonist. It means that, an antagonist is an
obstacle the protagonist must overcome. It also can be
called as a rival protagonist. According to Potter,
antagonist is a person that opposes the protagonist
(1967:7). Robert and Jacobs (1986:139) says that
antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonist
and causes of the problem on particular situation
(Elyla, 2010: 9).
The character based on the development; static is
someone in a story who never changes, from the
beginning until the end of the story he or she does not
change. For example, if he or she in the beginning of
the story is a bad guy, in the final story he or she
will be a bad guy as well. Kennedy and Gioia say that
static is fixed character (2007:74). Thus, static
character is character which never changes over time or
fixed character; dynamic is someone in a story who does
change and he or she changes in attitude or outlook.
Kennedy and Gioia state that dynamic is a changing one
23
(2007:73). So, dynamic character is a person who does
change in a story a result of the resolving problem,
and she or he changes in attitude and outlook.
2.3 Characterization
Based on the previously explanation about meaning
and types of character in fiction, furthermore
character also reveals in many methods, usually it is
called characterization. As Potter says that to
describe the nature of the character, it deals with the
concept of characterization. It is the process or
method by which the author uses to reveal or describe
the character personality in a story. He also mentions
that a number of methods of characterization to reveal
the person’s character by what he says and does his
speech, and his physical appearance (1967:3-4).
In addition to depict and present the character of
story, generally the author uses direct or indirect
method. Direct method is a method to depict character
directly, usually the author presents the character by
24
telling (describing character by direct explanation
from the author). Following Klarer, he assumes that
telling is a method which describes character through
the narrator (2004:18-19). In aaddition, Minderop
states that it is a method to depict character in a
story by using direct explanation and comment from the
author (2010:76-77). Thus, telling is a method to
reveal the character in a story by using direct
explanation from the author. On the other hand, in
indirect method the author depicts the character by
giving change to the character to reveal his or her
character with dialogue and action. It can be called
showing. Abrams states that showing is a method that
the author lets the character present her or his
personality by talking and acting (1999:35). Similar
with Abrams, Klarer adds that this method shows the
character through his or her action and utterances
(2004:19).
25
Therefore, characterization is a method to reveal
the personality of person in a story. There are two
method to reveal the character in a story, direct
(telling) and indirect (showing). Direct method is a
way to show the character by explaining from the
author, and indirect method is a way to describe the
character by dialogue and action.
2.4 Psychoanalysis Approach
Psychology is a study about human soul. This
theory was found by Sigmund Freud, he stated that
psychology is science which learns and observes about
human psyche. Following Atkinson (1996:7), he says that
psychology is a science to observe and analyze about
human psyche (Minderop, 2011:3). Miller adds that
(1974: 4) psychology is a science that attempts,
predicts, controls, and explains human behavior (Salam,
2014:2). Thus, psychology is science which learns about
human behavior and mental process faced by human.
26
Psychology theory focuses on human personality
because personality of someone can influence behavior
and the way of thinking of human in society. Another
reason is human personality made by someone’s
experience. Minderop says that personality created by
experience of someone. So, it can influence someone’s
behavior in society (2011:4). He also adds there are
several factors that give effect for developing human
personality; past historical factor, contemporary
factor, innate factor, and environment factor
(2011:20). In practice, Freud uses psychoanalysis
approach for knowing personality of someone. According
to Diana and Sally emphasizs that Freud uses
psychoanalysis approach to reveal personality of
someone by hearing his experience or problems
(1985:485).
Psychoanalysis is a study about mental, behavior,
development, and experience about human. Brenner
(1969:11) mentions that psychoanalysis is a scientific
27
discipline which discuss about human mental (Minderop,
2011:11). Holland psychoanalysis is a study of human
subjectivity about the mind way of thinking, dreaming,
imagining, wanting, and the hiding mind (1990:2). In
addition, Minderop adds that Freud develops
psychoanalysis method to find out the psyche problem
occurs, and he believes that psyche problem deals with
past and childhood experience (2011:10). Thus,
development of human personality and behavior can be
influenced by childhood experiences.
Talking about unconscious mind, it influences
human personality and behavior because people have
secret life and they consider keeping their secret in
unconscious. The unconscious mind is a place to save
felling, thought, pain, and memory. Most of the
contents in unconscious are the unpleasant feeling,
such as pain, anxiety, and conflict. Eagleton
(1996:437) says, Freud believes that human’s mind is
influenced by unconscious mind because human
28
personality is developed by human experience. He also
describes human’s mind likes iceberg which contains the
secret of human, conflict, and several problems. So, he
thinks that unconscious mind is the key to understand
human personality. In addition, Minderop says that
human behavior is often influenced by the unconscious
trying to bring ourselves and behave without conscious
(2011:13). Therefore, this theory believes that
development of human personality is influenced by
unconscious mind and it means the secret life of human.
Moreover Minderop conveys that in unconscious mind
influences personality because understanding
personality of someone it has to observe deeper from
the hidden thought and symbolic sign of someone.
Besides the childhood experience, experience with
parents also influences the development of human
personality (2011:9).
Based on the theories that had been already
examined, it can be summarized that psychoanalysis is a
29
branch of science of psychology which is developed by
Sigmund Freud. He uses psychoanalysis to reveal the
personality of someone by hearing his past. Study of
psychoanalysis focuses on development of personality
based on mental, behavior, development, and experience
of human. The ground of psychoanalysis is the childhood
experience that involves the development of human
personality and unconscious mind determines human
behavior. Here, unconscious mind is about unpleasant
felling, such as pain, anxiety, and conflict. Besides,
the childhood experience and unconscious mind,
experience with parents also influences the development
of human personality.
2.4.1 The Structure of Human Personality
The behaviour of human according to Freud is the
result of conflict that exists in human life. The
sources that influence the personality are the past
life of human, enviroment, and family. Freud mentions
that past life, enviroment, family, and congenital
30
factor is affected the personality of human (Minderop,
2011:20). Besides, Freud believes that to know and
learn human personality not only can be seen in
something appears or the conscious of human, but it can
be seen also fron unconscious of human. Following Freud
to learn the human psyche cannot just see the problem
of consciusness that appears in surface, but there are
problems unconscious, repressed, or forgotten too
(Fudyartanta, 2012:132). Because of tha case Freud
creates the theory that explain about human personality
and divide it into three parts.
The Id is part of human’s personality and the
place in unconscious. The basic work of id is
satisfying the urges, needs, and desire. The id is like
the king that all the id needs must be fulfilled.
Freud adds that the id is pulsi reservoir and a source
of psychic energy. Id as psychic energy that force
human to fullfill the basic need, like eat, sexs, and
reject the pain or uncomfortable (Minderop, 2011:21).
31
The characteristic of id is it is the system of human
that has been exist since their birth, it acts as the
driving force behind personality. The principles of id
are it works to seek the pleasure and avoid the
suffering. The nature of it is immoral because it is
dominated of pleasue, lust so to fulfill the desire
usually the id forces the human to do immoral thing,
the source of inscticts, and the id contains of desires
and feelings which are repressed (Fudyartanta,
2012:137). It can be imagined how terrible and
dangereous that his majority of human beings are
affected by id.
The ego locates between between the conscious and
unconscious. The working of the ego is trying to
fulfill the pleasure of human but he is limited by
reality. The Ego likes prime minister that has job to
finish the problem that has relation with reality and
he also fulfill the plasure of human (Minderop,
2011:21). Because the ego must face the reality, in
32
every move it must be reality. So, it has to be
considered about the moral and appropriate action. It
helps human to consider themself whether they can
satisfy themselves without having to get into trouble
or suffering. The job of the ego is regulating,
recieving or rejecting the task which is given by the
id that correspondent to the real world.
The superego is the third system of human psyche,
it is the moral system. Becaus it is a moral system,
the superego has role as it takes control the authority
of moral in personality, it reflects the moral action
than the real action, it fights for the prefection than
pleasure, and the superego as judge to judgment whether
the action taken is right or wrong (Fudyartanta,
2012:141).
2.4.2 The Development of Oral Phase
This phase takes place during infacy and childhood
in the first year. At this stage, the child is totaly
dependent on the mother because the child needs food
33
from mother. The mother duty at this phase is gives the
food for the child through breastfeeding. According to
Freud, he says that oral phase is the phase of babyhood
and childhood in first year which the role of mother is
important. On that phase mother has duty to feed by
breastfeeding. In that process, the bound between
mother and child is built. The child feels safe,
comfort, and dependence on his mother (Fudyartanta,
2012:164).
2.4.3 Anxiety
Every situation that makes people worry and
feeling threatened, it causes the people have the
feeling of anxiety. It is because they have problem
that is an obstacle to gain their purpose to achieve
something. Following Minderop, she states that several
conflicts and problems can obstruct the progress of
individuals to achieve goals and it is one the source
of anxiety. She also says that the threatened can be
34
physic, psyche, and some unconfort feeling that causes
anxiety (2011:28).
2.4.4 Hatred
Feeling hatred has relationship with feeling angry
and jelousy. When people feeling hatred of something or
someone, they have desire to abolish the source of
feeling hatred. According to Krech (1974:479) hate has
relationship with angry and the trait that marks
felling of hatred is emerge the desire to kill or
destroy the source of hatred. He also adds that someone
always has feeling hatred and he or she will feel
satisfied if the object of hatred is destroyed
(Minderop, 2011:44).
2.5 Review of Previous Studies
The research used psychoanalysis approach as
theory had already done by several writer. Here,
examples of the research that uses psychoanalysis as
theory. First, the research comes from Nurul Hikmah
Maulanie (October, 5 2011), her title research is “An
35
analysis of Esther’s psychopath problem in orphan film viewed from
psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud”. She analyzed the
mental disorder that exist in one of character in film
Orphan “Esther”. She used theory psychoanalysis to
reveal the characteristic of mental disorder that
happened in Esther. The result of the research she found
that Esther is psychopath, it was proved by the
characteristic of her, such as often lie, lack of
empathy, aggressive, lack of remorse and feeling
guilty, and the failed of psychosexual stage.
Another example comes from Giovanny Mario (2012),
his title research is “A PSYCHOANALYSIS ON THE MAIN
CHARACTER AND THE AUTHOR OF SHERLOCK HOLMES: A STUDY IN
SCARLET”. Giovanny analyzed the characteristic of main
character and the relation between the author and
another character in a story by using psychoanalysis
perspective. From his analysis, he found the
characteristic of main character (Sherlock Holmes) is
selfish, perfectionist, and self-destructive. The main
36
character also used the defense mechanism, such as
denial and reaction formation. The second result is
relation between the author and John Watson (friend of
Holmes) that shows similarity between the author and
John Watson. Both the author and John is a doctor, it
shows that the author wanted to be a part on story by
making himself as one of character in story and he also
shared his life experience in a story.
In this research, the writer analyzes Lord
Voldemort one of the character in novel Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling by using
psychoanalysis approach. She analyzes the development
of character Lord Voldemort relates to his life. The
writer to analyze this research uses psychoanalysis as
theory because it help her to reveal the reason behind
the development is experienced by Lord Voldemort.
37
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
Research method is an essential part to conduct a
research because it is used as guideline in order to
get a systematic analysis. In this chapter, the writer
will describe about research methodology of how she
will analyze and find out the purpose of this research.
This chapter is divided in four subchapters. They are
The Nature of the Research, The Source of the Data, The
Data, and The Data Analysis.
3.1 The Nature of the Research
Research design is a plan to conduct the data to
be analyzed and it is made by the writer to guide for
analyzing data of the research. Besides that, it is
help for defining the data of the research clearly. By
the research design that is made by the researcher, it
is hoped the writer will be able to analyze the data
and get the purpose of this thesis. It means that the
38
research analyzes data by describing in detail not in
the forms of numbers (or numeric) but they are in the
forms of words, phrases, or utterances or sentences.
Strauss emphasizes that qualitative method is a
research that result of the data is not obtained by
using statistical or measurement procedure (2007:11).
Addition Miles and Huberman explain that data from
qualitative research is the forms of words than
numbers, the sources of it from an evironment and it
also can help to understand the phenomena
chronologically (1992:1-2). In order to get something
new from literary work, the writer uses qualitative
research to analyze the data. Furthermore, the writer
uses theories; character, characterization and
psychoanalysis approach to analyze the data of this
research and utilizes descriptive qualitative method as
method to analyze and reveal the data.
39
3.2 The Source of Data
In general, the data is taken and selected from
the novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K
Rowling that was published on July 15 2005. The data of
the research focoses on analyzing Lord Voldemort
3.2.1 The Main Data
In this paper the main data that the writer taken
is from novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling
that was published on July 16 2005. The data of the
research focuses on analyzing Lord Voldemort.
3.2.2 The Supporting Data
The supporting data used in this study is entirely
derived from written sources or library, such as books,
journals, articles, and internet sources. Besides, the
writer uses the theories to support analyzing the data,
such as theory of character, characterization, and
psychoanalysis approach that are in line with the
problem of the research.
40
3.4 The Data Analysis
Beginning analysis novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince, the writer uses theory of character combination
from Potter, Kennedy and Gioa, and Abrams to reveal the
character of Voldemort. Afterwards, the writer utilizes
the theory of characterization from Potter, Klarer, and
Abrams to look further deeper the method how the
Voldemort character builds in story. Besides, the
writer uses the theory of psychoanalysis by Sigmund
Freud to reveal the characterization of Voldemort.
The combination of theories at least in the
writer’s view to makes it easy and speed up the process
of classification of the Voldemort character. First,
the character of Voldemort analyzes into the kind of
character he which helped by the theory of character.
Next, the writer analyses about development of
characterization of Voldemort by using theory of
characterization. Then, the writer correlates the
41
characterization of Voldemort with psychoanalysis
approach.
Data from this research analyses, sorts,
categorizes and processes based on theoretical
framework. There are some steps that will be applied to
analyze Voldemort character. The procedures of the data
analysis are: reading and comprehending the novel Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling., reading and
comprehending the character of Voldemort, analyzing the
character of Voldemort by using theory of character,
analyzing the characterization of Voldemort by using
theory of characterization, find out and analyze the
characterization of Voldemort by using Psychoanalysis
approach, and last, the writer summarize based on the
discussion
42
CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS
This chapter presents the analysis of the
characterization of Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Half-
Blood Prince uses the theory of characterization and
psychoanalysis. The first analysis, the writer analyzes
the character that portrays in Voldemort. The next is
she analyzes the characterization that depicts in
Voldemort. And the last is she analyzes the
characterization of Voldemort based on psychoanalysis
approach. Moreover, this analysis focuses on Voldemort
character who has past events that influence his
personality and character. The changing of Voldemort
character can be seen from his past.
43
4.1 Character of Voldemort
Character is the person in a story who is
described in particular quality. Kennedy and Gioia
states that character is a person who lives in a story
(2007:73). Same with theory before, Abrams also adds
that it is a person represented in narrative work who
sketches in a particular type (1999:32). Based on the
theories, the writer finds Voldemort as character who
has important role in novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince to be analyzed.
Moreover, character is defined into several types;
the character based on the role and based on the
development. The types of character based on the role
are protagonist and antagonist, and types of character
based on the development are static and dynamic. The
following is the analysis of character of Voldemort:
4.1.1 Antagonist
Voldemort is one of the characters who plays role
in the novel Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. He is
44
described as figure that has bad character and
personality. His action makes him as bad character. He
always does anything that makes people suffer and pain,
for instance, he makes people afraid of him by killing
and giving terror. In addition, Voldemort is a person
who dislikes Harry Potter and he always tries to hamper
and murders him. He also causes a lot of mess and
problem in particular situation. Because of his action
and attitude, Voldemort is categorized as antagonist
character.
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,
Voldemort is known as person who likes killing people.
He killed people for they are against of him and he
needed to kill them for his benefit. For example he
killed Amelia Bones, it is proved by statement of the
person who works in Ministry of Magic Cornelius Fudge:
“Amelia Bones. Head of the Department of Magical LawEnforcement. We think He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may havemurdered her in person, because she was a very gifted witchand — and all the evidence was that she put up a realfight.”(HP6, 2005:1:13)
45
Looking at this incident, it can be said that Voldemort
killed Amelia Bones because she tried to hamper and
offend Voldemort. Thus, he decided murdering Amelia
Bones because he disliked the effort of Amelia Bones
that try to againts him. Other example describes
Voldemort as killer when he studied in Hogwarts and
killed a girl who studied in there.
“……………….seven years at Hogwarts were marked by a numberof nasty incidents to which they were never satisfactorily linked,the most serious of which was, of course, the opening of theChamber of Secrets, which resulted in the death of a girl. Asyou know, Hagrid was wrongly accused of that crime.” (HP6,2005:17:362)
Besides, Voldemort who hampers main character Harry
potter has plans to kill him. He always makes plans to
abolish Harry Potter even he is a boy. The plans that
Voldemort makes always dangers Harry and people around
him. As Dumbledore says in dialogue below shows, this
Voldemort has many plans to kill Harry Potter and his
plans are very dangerous for him.
“……….. Harry, whom Lord Voldemort has already attempted tokill on a number of occasions, is in even greater danger now
46
than the day when I left him upon your doorstep fifteen yearsago,…………” (HP6, 2005:3:55)
To support his plans to kill Harry Potter,
Voldemort had plans to steal the prophecy that
described the way to kill Harry Potter in the Ministry
of Magic. Voldemort gave order for Death Eaters to
steal it. Because of this incident, Harry Potter and
his friends in danger and they had to fight with Death
Eaters and Voldemort. From this incident, it can be
seen that, Voldemort does not care about something
happened with Harry Potter’s friends because his
obsession to kill him even Harry Potter’s friends in
danger. He also likes giving danger to Harry Potter’s
friends to see the suffering of Harry Potter and it is
one of the plans of Voldemort.
“………….. the mysterious recent disturbance at the Ministry ofMagic, duringwhich He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was sighted once more.……… the Ministry have confirmed that the disturbancecentered on the fabled Hall of Prophecy.” (HP6,2005:3:39)“…………Said Mrs. Augusta Longbottom, “My grandson, Neville— a good friend of Harry Potter’s, incidentally, who fought the
47
Death Eaters alongside him at the Ministry in June and —…”(HP6, 2005:3:41)
Moreover, He also liked to give pain for his followers.
For example, he gave command to Malfoy to kill
Dumbledore and he threatened Malfoy if he fails killing
Dumbledore, Voldemort would kill all of Malfoy family.
He did it because he wanted to give punishment Malfoy’s
father because he failed to do Voldemort’s order.
“I haven’t got any options!” said Malfoy, and he was suddenlywhite as Dumbledore. “I’ve got to do it! He’ll kill me! He’ll kill mywhole family!”(…..)No, you can’t,” said Malfoy, his wand hand shaking very badlyindeed. “Nobody can. He told me to do it or he’ll kill me. I’ve gotno choice.”(HP6, 2005:27:591)
4.1.2 Static
As the explanation above that explains Voldemort
is categorized as antagonist character. He had been
doing a lot of offense and he continued to do bad
things till he died. It can be seen, he killed Harry
Potter’s parents, many muggles, he gave order to his
followers Death Eaters to cause mess. Because of the
offences that were done by Lord Voldemort, he is
48
categorized as static character because at the
beginning until the end he is consistence being cruel
character.
Especially in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
prince, Voldemort had been doing a lot of offense when
he was a boy and he continued when he grows up. The
first offense he did when he was a boy, he killed a
rabbit of his friend in orphanage after he had argued
with his friend. Then, when summer outing he asked his
two friends to follow him enter the cave. After that,
after that his two friends never same again, they
became different. It is impossible if there no
something happened that time. Not only that things
happened when he was a boy, but he did offense when he
studied in Hogwarts. This incident happened when Riddle
opened the Chamber of Secret in Hogwarts and he needed
victim to be sacrificed, so he choose the girl and
killed her.
49
Moreover, when he grew up, he involved many
problems. A lot offense was caused by him. For
instance, he killed his father by blaming his uncle
because he knew the fact that his father left his
mother when she got pregnant, he killed Hepzibah Smith
because he wanted to have the Hepzibah’s treasure, and
when he became a dark lord a lot of offences and crimes
had been done by him.
4.2 Characterization of Voldemort
Actually, Voldermort’s real name was Tom Marvolo
Riddle. This name was given by his mother before she
died. But right after he declared himself as a dark
wizard, he changed his name into Lord Voldermort.
Understanding characterization of Voldemort can be
looked from his experience when he was a boy until he
transforms “Dark Lord. By looking at his experience
from Dumbledore’s memory, the writer finds several
points that show he is a weird boy and he behaves
poorly. Analyzing characterization of Voldemort, the
50
writer uses theories of characterization according to
the theories in the previous chapter.
4.2.1 Tom Riddle’s Childhood
Tom Marvolo Riddle is the real name of Voldemort.
That name has given by his mother when Riddle was born.
Unfortunately after the born Riddle, Merope (Riddle’s
mom) died, so Riddle lived in the orphanage. Losing his
parents, he did not know who his parent was and lived
in the orphanage was the basic reason of Riddle grew
into an odd boy and behaved poorly. Mrs. Cole who ran
the orphanage gave explanation about the behavior of
Riddle.
“He scares the other children.”“You mean he is a bully?” asked Dumbledore.“I think he must be,” said Mrs. Cole, frowning slightly, “but it’svery hard to catch him at it. There have been incidents. . . .Nasty things”(.....)“Billy Stubbs’s rabbit . . . well, Tom said he didn’t do it and Idon’t see how he could have done, but even so, it didn’t hangitself from the rafters, did it?”………… All I know is he and Billy had argued the day before.(HP6, 2005:13:267-268)
51
The dialogue between Mrs. Cole and Dumbledore
tells the behavior of Riddle who is always scared
children in orphanage by doing the worst thing and
possibility he did bulling, unfortunately what Riddle
did is difficult to catch him at it. It is supported by
his action he killed Billy Stubbs’s rabbit, but he did
not admit that he was guilty. The other hand, Mrs. Cole
said that Riddle and Billy had argued the day before.
Riddle got angry and he disliked what Billy said or did
so he decided to kill Billy’s rabbit to vent his anger.
Besides incident when he killed Billy’s rabbit, he
also did the unpleasant thing to two his friends. The
incident happened when the summer outing, Riddle and
his two friends Benson and Bishop went into a cave,
after that, his two friends were never same again, they
became different. It is impossible if there no
something happened at the time. Once again Riddle did
something that makes his friends afraid of him.
“on the summer outing — we take them out, you know, once ayear, to the countryside or to the seaside — well, Amy Bensoand Dennis Bishop were never quite right afterwards, and all
52
we ever got out of them was that they’d gone into a cave withTom Riddle. He swore they’d just gone exploring, but somethinghappened in there, I’m sure of it. And, well, there have been alot of things, funny things. . . .” (HP6, 2005:13:268)
Not only killing Billy’s rabbit and making his two
friends afraid of him, Riddle also stole his friends’
stuffs in orphanage. He stole yo-yo, a silver thimble,
and a rusty harmonica. This incident was known by
Dumbledore:
“Open the door,” said Dumbledore. (….)“Take it out,” said Dumbledore.Riddle took down the quaking box. He looked unnerved.“Is there anything in that box that you ought not to have?”asked Dumbledore.Riddle threw Dumbledore a long, clear, calculating look. “Yes, Isuppose so, sir,” he said finally, in an expressionless voice.“Open it,” said Dumbledore.Riddle took off the lid and tipped the contents onto his bedwithout looking at them. Harry, who had expected somethingmuch more exciting, saw a mess of small, everyday objects: ayo-yo, a silver thimble, and a tarnished mouth organ amongthem. ((HP6, 2005:13:273)
Based on the delineation above, the
characterization of Riddle is poor, he always does
something that makes friends afraid of him, gives bad
impact for them and he likes to take something that is
53
not his. This is strengthened by his statement “………I
can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them
hurt if I want to.” (HP6:2005, 13:271). Tom’s desire to make
other people suffer and control them had been seen
since he was child.
4.2.2 Tom Riddle’s Adolescence
Since Riddle became student of Hogwarts, he was a
student who had attractive behavior, talented, polite,
charming, and thirst for knowledge, so many teachers
were interested in him. Utilizing his adorable, Riddle
gathered a group of friends who dedicated and loyal
with him. Although he had friends who were loyal to
him, Riddle did not have affection for them and he only
took advantage of them. It can be seen that even as a
young man, Riddle had desire to be boss, dominated
others and control. He also had plan to be a leader who
took control in everything and he wanted people to
honor, loyal and dedicated for him. The quotation below
was said by Dumbledore who describes the Riddle’s
fellow recruitment:
54
“As he moved up the school, he gathered about him a group ofdedicated friends; I call them that, for want of a better term,although as I have already indicated, Riddle undoubtedly feltno affection for any of them……………...” (HP6,2005:17:361)
From the explanation before that Riddle had a
group, he and his group had contribution to commit
crimes in Hogwarts but their crimes never detected.
During seven years he studied in Hogwarts, many
terrible things happened in Hogwarts, one of them was
the death of student. This incident happened when
Riddle opened the Chamber of Secret in Hogwarts and he
needed victim to be sacrificed, so he chose the girl
and killed her. The delineation of the activities of
Riddle is portrayed by Dumbledore:
“Rigidly controlled by Riddle, they were never detected in openwrongdoing, although their seven years at Hogwarts weremarked by a number of nasty incidents to which they werenever satisfactorily linked, the most serious of which was, ofcourse, the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, which resultedin the death of a girl. As you know, Hagrid was wronglyaccused of that crime.” (HP6, 2005:17:362)
By looking the incidents happened in Hogwarts,
once again Riddle did crime and it same with what he
55
did in orphanage. But the difference is he did not kill
animal, he killed a girl and the reason he killed a
girl to satisfy his desire. Thus, the nature of Riddle
is a figure that does anything to satisfy his desire by
doing the nasty things. Not only he killed a girl, but
he also killed his father and grandparents.
This incident happened when summer he was 16, he
left the orphanage to seek the place where his Gaunt
relatives live and his goal is to find out his parents.
After he found the place where his Gaunt relatives
live, he met his uncle who apparently he is Riddle
family who still alive. From his uncle, he knew the
fact about his parents. Evidently, his mother was a
witch and father was a muggle (non-wizard). Knowing
about it, Riddle was disappointed especially as he knew
that his father left his mother. The following is the
dialogue between Riddle and his uncle Morfin:
“I thought you was that Muggle,” whispered Morfin.“You look mighty like that Muggle.”“What Muggle?” said Riddle sharply.“That Muggle what my sister took a fancy to, that Muggle whatlives in the big house over the way,” said Morfin, and he spat
56
unexpectedly upon the floor between them. “You look rightlike him. Riddle. But he’s older now, in ’e? He’s older’n you, nowI think on it. . . .” ……….“He come back, see,” he added stupidly.……….“Riddle came back?”“Ar, he left her, and serve her right, marrying filth!” saidMorfin, spitting on the floor again. “Robbed us,mind, before she ran off! Where’s the locket, eh, where’sSlytherin’s locket?” (HP6, 2005:17:365)
After he knew about the fact that his father left
his mother and never wanted Riddle to be his child,
Riddle had revenges plan to kill her father. It was
proved by finding of the three dead bodies in Little
Hangleton, Tom Riddle, Riddle’s mother and father. The
fact is Riddle killed them by making the incident
happened because of his uncle Morfin, so his uncle was
jailed. The fact that Riddle killed them is explained
by Dumbledore:
“So Voldemort stole Morfin’s wand and used it?” said Harry,sitting up straight.“That’s right,” said Dumbledore. “We have no memories to showus this, but I think we can be fairly sure what happened.Voldemort Stupefied his uncle, took his wand, and proceededacross the valley to ‘the big house over the way’ There hemurdered the Muggle man who had abandoned his witchmother, and, for good measure, his Muggle grandparents, thusobliterating the last of the unworthy Riddle line and revenginghimself upon the father who never wanted him. Then he
57
returned to the Gaunt hovel, performed the complex bit ofmagic that would implant a false memory in his uncle’s mind,laid Morfin’s wand beside its unconscious owner, pocketed theancient ring he wore, and departed.” (HP6, 2005:17:367)
By looking the incident that was caused by Riddle,
it can be seen that he is under control of his anger
because he knows the fact that his father left his
mother and let his mother gave birth alone and died.
The feeling of hatred and angry push Riddle to execute
nasty thing by killing his father Tom Riddle and his
father’s parents. Therefore, the murder incident was
done by Riddle, it can be said that he is a figure who
likes to punish people who have hurt him or make him
anger and irritable. The punishments that given by
Riddle always make people suffer and the most serious
thing is killing them.
4.2.3 Tom Riddle after Hogwarts
When studied in Hogwarts, Tom Riddle was known as
smart student, charming and talented, because of it
everyone has huge expectation about him especially the
teachers in Hogwarts. They thought Riddle would have a
58
good future because of his ability and achievement that
he had. As they know when Riddle studied in Hogwarts,
he was a perfect, Head Boy, winner of the Award of
Special Services to the School and top grades in every
examination that he had taken. Because of his
achievements Professor Slughorn suggested him to join
in Ministry of Magic. But, Riddle refused and chose to
work in Borgin and Burkes (a shop specializing in magic
stuff especially in dark magic). In Borgin and Burkes,
Riddle works as an intermediary to persuade the people
to sell their stuffs in Borgin and Burkes and he did
well. One day Riddle had a mission to go to Hepzibah
Smith’s house to persuade her for selling her stuff,
there was an incident happened there. Riddle killed
Hepzibah Smith after she showed her family treasure and
a heavy golden locket that had Slytherin’s mark.
Riddle’s face changed to be greedy expression ….. Harry
thought he saw a red gleam in his dark eyes. His greedy expression was
curiously mirrored on Hepzibah’s face (HP6, 2005:20456). The
dialogue below is described the incident happens:
59
I want to show Mr. Riddle our finest treasure. . . . In fact, bringboth, while you’re at it. . . .”“I think you’ll like this, Tom. . . . Oh, if my family knew I wasshowing you. . . . They can’t wait to get their hands on this!”“I wonder whether you know what it is, Tom? Pick it up, have agood look!” whispered Hepzibah, “I think you’ll like this even more, Tom,” she whispered.(……)She slid back the fine filigree clasp and flipped open the box.There upon the smooth crimson velvet lay a heavy goldenlocket. (HP6, 2005:20:435-436)
After he visited at Smith’s house the next two
days, Hepzibah Smith died. Knowing this incident the
Ministry gave punishment Hockey a house-elf of Smith
because she gave poison in her master drink. In fact,
hockey was not the murder, the real murder was Riddle.
He used the same trick when he killed his father family
by blaming someone else became murderer. After Riddle
killed Smith then he stole the Smith’s treasure.
………….“Hokey the house-elf was convicted by the Ministry ofpoisoning her mistress’s evening cocoa by accident.”“Certainly, there are many similarities between this death andthat of the Riddles. In both cases, somebody else took theblame, someone who had a clear memory of having caused thedeath —”“Hokey confessed?”“She remembered putting something in her mistress’s cocoathat turned out not to be sugar, but a lethal and little-knownpoison,” said Dumbledore. “It was concluded that she had notmeant to do it, but being old and confused”
60
“Voldemort modified her memory, just like he did with Morfin!(……)“By the time Hokey was convicted, Hepzibah’s family hadrealized that two of her greatest treasures were missing. (HP6,2005:20:438-439)
By looking the incident was caused by Riddle, it
can be looked that Riddle is a figure who likes doing
anything to grab what he want especially nasty thing
like murder. Riddle had already killed to steal a stuff
which he thought is fancy and important. This incident
happened when he was a boy stole the stuffs of his
friends in orphanage. Riddle who liked taking something
from other had seen when he was a boy. Besides, he
liked to bestow his mistake to others. Because of that
they suffered and it is the one of nature of Riddle who
likes make people suffer and feel pain.
4.2.4 Tom Riddle transforms being Lord Voldemort
After he murdered and grabbed the two treasures of
Hepzibah Smith, Riddle disappeared for a very long time
and there’s nobody knew about his. But when he was
back, he was not Tom Riddle anymore but Lord Voldemort,
61
“They do not call me ‘Tom’ anymore,” he said. “These days, I am known as
—” (HP6, 2005:20:442). He chose Voldemort as his name
because it reflected himself as a dark wizard. The name
of Voldermort is derived from French, Voluer means
steal and mort means dead, so Voldermort means the man
who steals the death. (Colbert, 2006: 205). Tom Riddle
was not an innocent boy but he transformed being an
evil figure. He had desire to control people and the
world by killing and torturing them. He created himself
as the dreaded wizard by making terror anywhere. He
killed a lot of people to satisfy his desire and for
him killing is an amusement thing. For example, he
created horcrux (the place for soul to hide that makes
someone immortal) because he wanted to be immortal so
there’s nobody can defeat him and to make it he had to
kill people and he got that information from his
teacher Prof. Slughron:
“By an act of evil — the supreme act of evil. By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart. The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux would use the damage to his advantage: Hewould encase the torn portion —” (HP6, 2005:23:498)
62
By analyzing from Prof. Slughron about horcrux, Riddle
became excited and he had desire to make it. Even
though Prof. Slughron warned him the dangers of making
it and it was the nasty thing because to make it,
someone had to kill people but Riddle did not care
about his Professor’s advice. Riddle had idea to make
six horcruxes it means that he had to kill six people to
support his plan. To support his plan, he started to
look for someone who can be made as sacrificial.
Because of his nasty idea, Riddle turned into murderer
just to achieve what he wants.
4.3 Characterization of Voldemort Based on
Psychoanalysis Approach
Tom Marvolo Riddle or who known as Lord Voldemort
is well-known as antagonist character. He always does
the things that make people suffer and have bad impact
for them. Voldemort commits to do something bad until
he died. Actually since he was born, he was just a boy
who had a special gift (wizard) but he used his special
gift in bad ways. On his development, he grew to be a
63
figure who liked doing violation until he transformed
to become Lord Voldemort. By visiting his memories, the
writer finds the several points that make Tom Riddle
transforms into Lord Voldemort. Most of all he is
influenced by his past. Therefore, the writer analyzes
the characterization of Voldemort based on
psychoanalysis approach. In line with Freud, he
believes that psyche problem deals with past and
childhood experience (Minderop, 2011:10). Besides,
Brenner (1969:11) mentioned that psychoanalysis is a
scientific discipline which discuss about human mental
(Minderop, 2011:11). The followings below are analysis
the characterization of Voldemort based on
psychoanalysis approach:
As the explanation before, Tom Riddle since he was
born, he lost his parents. His father abandoned his
mother when she got pregnant Tom Riddle and his mother
died after Riddle born. Because of that situation Tom
Riddle spend their childhood in orphanage. On the
64
development, Tom Riddle grew being an odd boy and
frightening. He liked disturbing his friends in
orphanage, till they were afraid of him, and he had
problem to interact with people. In that case, the
behavior and attitude of Riddle was caused because he
got less affection from his parents and he did not know
his parents. By viewing the condition of his family
history, it is clear that the development of his
characterization has relationship with his past.
According to Minderop, she says experience with parents
also influences the development of human personality
(2011:9).
The essential thing in development of the
personality of child, it depends on the relation with
mother. The child needs affection very much from his
mother especially during babyhood. According to Freud,
he says that oral phase is the phase of babyhood and
childhood in first year which the role of mother is
important. On that phase mother has duty to feed by
65
breastfeeding. In that process bound between mother and
child is built. The child feels safe, comfort, and
dependence on his mother (2012:164).
Looking at the theory above, Riddle never got the
time with his mother and he felt so empty in deep down
his heart and also he got less affection. Thus, he
reflected unpleasant experience by disturbing and
scaring his friends in orphanage because he wanted to
let go what he felt when he was a child without
parents. For example, the worst thing that he had ever
done is he killed Billy’s Rabbit. Besides, Riddle was
not easy to believe with people, it is proved when he
refused assistance from Dumbledore to accompany him to
shop and when transformed being Dark Lord, he had
followers (Death Eaters) but he never trusted them, he
just took advantage from them. His feeling showed that
he felt not safe if he depended himself to people. What
he felt because of his past that he did not get a sense
66
of security or protection of his parents so that he
feels no need to be protected from others.
Furthermore, the development of characterization
of Voldemort was still influenced by his past
especially his childhood. In this section, the writer
analyzes the hidden memory of Voldemort about his
childhood that influences his character. Freud conveys
that the behavior of human is more influenced by
unconscious mind than conscious mind. Unconscious mind
is filled by someone’s painful memories and he tries to
keep and hide them. From that situation, it can
influence someone attitude and behavior or character
(Minderop, 2011:13). In Riddle’s case he has painful
memories about his father. His father was a muggle
(non-wizard) and left his mom when she was pregnant
Riddle. Knowing the truth about his father, he hides
and keeps it just for himself. But, the truth of his
family he could deny so he did nasty thing by murdering
his father and his father family. He killed them
67
because he wanted to conceal the truth and kept his
secret about his family history that he was son of a
muggle. According to Krech (1974:479) hate has
relationship with angry and the trait that marks
felling of hatred is emerge the desire to kill or
destroy the source of hatred (Minderop, 2011:44).
Felling hatred makes Riddle murders his father and his
father’s family.
As long as Riddle kept his secret, he transformed
being a man who had anger and hatred about something
that has connection with muggle. Eagleton (1996:437)
mentions Freud says that human’s mind is influenced by
unconscious mind because human personality is developed
by human experience (Minderop, 2011:13). Riddle’s life
was always influenced by his past, so he tried to
abolish something about muggle. For example, when he
studied in Hogwarts there was incident happened when
Riddle opened the Chamber of Secret in Hogwarts and he
need victim to be sacrificed, so he chose the girl and
68
killed her (HP6, 2005:17:362). The fact that the girl
who killed by Voldemort is a Half-Blood likes him. He
chose that girl besides he wanted to scarify her and
she reminded Riddle about his family status that he was
Half-Blood too. Riddle could not forget about his
status that he is Half-Blood, so he did it. According
to Freud that act of someone was usually influenced by
his unconscious mind that tries to show up himself and
what he does something without realize (Minderop,
2011:13). What Riddle has done is influenced by his
past about his blood status and he cannot forget it.
Riddle’s memory hides in his unconscious mind and
someday it can show up again.
Hiding and keeping his status, Riddle connects his
blood status with famous ancestor, Salazar Slytherin
who one of the persons builds Hogwarts by his ability.
Riddle can speak parseltongue (persons with the ability
to speak to snakes) like the ancestor Salazar Slytherin
and makes him excited about the fact “How soon Riddle
learned that the famous founder of the House could talk to snakes,
69
(…..)The knowledge can only have excited him and increased his sense of
self-importance (HP6, 2005:17:360). Riddle made Slytherin
as his parents and rejected his biological parents by
changing his name from Tom Riddle into Lord Voldemort
because Tom is the name of his father and he really
hated his father, thus he did not to use that name
again. He considered himself as pure-blood and made
himself as hero figure that splited the pure-blood from
the half-blood and muggle. It proves that Riddle really
does not want his status and wants to forget it by
creating himself as pure-blood.
Besides, Harry Potter was archenemy of Voldemort
and he always tried to abolish Harry Potter. He knew
about Harry Potter from the prophecy that tells in the
future there is a boy who will beat Voldemort
“…..Voldemort singled you out as the person who would be most
dangerous to him — and in doing so, he made you the person who would
be most dangerous to him!” (HP6, 2005:23:509). Knowing it,
he became worry and made plan to abolish him. Another
reason why he must abolish Harry because he reminded
70
Voldemort of his status, Harry is half-blood same with
him. Voldemort’s action was influenced by his thinking
that the boy who would beat him was the boy who had
same status with him. Voldemort felt threatened and
worried from someone who has similarity with him and
will make him lose. Riddle reckoned that Harry was an
obstacle for him. Following the concept of Freud, he
states that several conflicts and problems can obstruct
the progress of individuals to achieve goals and it is
one the source of anxiety (Minderop, 2011:28). Harry
reminded Voldemort about his weakness and forced him to
face the truth that that he was a half-blood whereas he
wanted to deny it. Therefore, his memory about his
family status reappeared and to forget it he must
destroy Harry Potter. According to Freud, he conveyed
that act of someone is usually influenced by his
unconscious mind that tries to reappears (Minderop,
2011:13). Here, Voldemort’s unconscious mind reappears
is about his blood status and his action is to destroy
Harry Potter.
71
As Dumbledore revealed in his memory about
Voldemorts live, he was displayed as abject character,
seeking power and taking control to people. But, he
just a human who had weakness and the biggest weakness
that he had is death. He chose to be immortal so that
he could defeat the death as his weakness because the
death for him means there was no power or magic that
can bring the death back to life. The reason Voldemort
afraid of death because he looked from his past that
his mother gave up on her life and chose to die even
she was a witch. Not only that reason but the death of
his mother reminded him that magic could die even he
had powerful magic but he still could die. He felt so
desperate about his weakness that he could die too. His
perception about himself as an individual who had
weakness, motivated him to beat his weakness by doing
immoral thing to against the law of nature by creating
a horcrux to keep him immortal. As the analysis before
that young Voldemort asked to Prof. Slughron about how
72
to create horcrux and he had desire to create it (HP6,
2005:23:498).
By choosing to engage in a several murders,
Voldemort became cruel and abject figure. But he did
not care because he wanted to be immortal even though
he had to do inhuman action. His action made him
separate himself from society because there will be
nobody who can help him from his problem. Here,
Voldemort still influenced by his past about his mother
left him and chose to die and he changed himself being
obsession to be immortal and he never trusted people to
help him. It is explained by Minderop added that Freud
conveys to find out the psyche problem occurs, and he
believes that psyche problem deals with past and
childhood experience (2011:10). Psyche problem that is
faced by Voldemort is he obsesses to be immortal even
though he knows that there is nobody who cannot live
forever but he still forces himself to make himself
immortal. Voldemort does anything to save himself for
the death even though he must feel the pain when he
73
creates horcrux. He has to divide his soul after killing
people. To support his idea he thought to make one
horcrux which is not enough so he decided to make seven
horcruxes that means he had to kill seven people. It is
an abject idea that he had but he still did it because
it made him survive event though there was someone who
defeated him when he lost or his body decayed his soul
in safety.
Following the explanation above it, describes that
the characterization of Voldemort is affected by his
unconscious mind. The unconscious mind itself is the
place of the memory, traumatic events, and emotional
events of someone. According to Minderop that
unconscious mind is filled by someone’s painful
memories and he tries to keep and hide them (Minderop,
2011:13). In Voldemort’s case he conceals his secret
memory in it. On the other hand, unconscious mind is
the place of the id, as Freud says that the id is
located at unconscious mind. The id itself is the part
74
of human personality that has characteristics like
boss, it has to honor, masterful, and the desire of the
id must be fulfilled. As Freud mentions the way of Id’s
works has relation with the principle of pleasure, it
means it always seek the pleasure and avoids feeling
discomfort (Minderop, 2011 21). Looking at Voldemort’s
case about his past that he never got what he needs in
his past, so he has ambition to satisfy himself by
fulfilling his needs, such as he wants to be the one
who has power, immortal, and he has desire to be number
one from the others. What Voldemort needs in line with
the principle of the id.
Moreover, the id as structure of human
personality, there is ego is a structure of it too. The
ego is like the Prime Minister who has duty to fulfill
what the Id needs. But, the ego works by the way
satisfy the id by considering there is no trouble when
the ego tries to fulfill what the id needs (Minderop,
2011:22). Beside, that the superego is the third system
75
of human psyche, it is the moral system. Becaus it is a
moral system, the superego has role as it takes control
the authority of moral in personality. It is as judge
to judgment whether the action taken is right or wrong
(Fudyartanta, 2012:141).
In the case of Voldemort, the ego cannot fulfill
the pleasure principle of the id because superego
agganist the desire of id. It means what Voldemort
needs are failed to be fulfilled. The result of that
problem makes Voldemort feeling anxiety and
uncomfortable always appear. In order to eliminate
feeling anxiety and uncomfortable, he did the actions
to satisfy his desire. For instance, he killed his
father because he knew that his father left his mother
and the truth that his father was a muggle. He was
angry with his father and not comfort about his father
status because he had desire to be the wizard who had
pure-blood. He was worry if there was wizard knew about
the fact of his statuse especially the wizards who
76
followed him as the part of Death Eater. To satisfy his
desire, he connected his status with the famous
ancestor, Salazar Slytherin because he had same ability
with him (can speak with sneak) and made himself as
descent of him. The other examples showed the action of
Voldemort that is influenced by id are he killed
Hepzibah Smith, tried to ablish Harry Potter, and
created horcruxes. Therefore, the id likely influences
the personality of Voldemort and every action that he
takes, it causes he grows up to be a scary man and
horrible person and he also does a lot of vile actions
to satisfy his desire and to avoid feeling of anxiety
and uncomfortable.
77
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION
Concerning with the issue analyzed in the previous
chapter, the writer focuses analyzing the
characterization based on psychoanalysis approach. The
object of the research that analyzed by the writer is
Lord Voldemort. He is one of the character in the novel
Harry Potter and the Half Blood-Prince by J.K Rowling
and his real name is Tom Riddle, it is given by his
mother before her death. The issue is chosen by the
writer in this novel is the influence of Voldemort
character toward his past. Hence, the writer uses
theory of psychoanalysis by Freud to analyze the issue.
After the writer analyzed this issue, there are several
conclusions that found by the writer. First, Voldemort
in novel Harry Potter and the Half Blood-Prince is
categorized as antagonist character. He is categorized
78
as antagonist character because he has nasty action and
weird attitude. For instance, when he was a boy he
killed Billy’s rabbit after he argued with him and he
stole his stuffs’ friend in orphanage. Another example
is when he studied in Hogwarts he did offense by
killing one of students in Hogwarts.
Beside that, Voldemort as antagonist character, he
is also categorized as static character. The reason
considers Voldemort as static character because at the
beginning until the end, he is consistence to do nasty
action. When he was a boy there are several offenses
were done by him, like killed Billy’s rabbit, made his
friends in orphanage afraid, and stole the stuffs of
his friends. The nasty action continues when he studied
in Hogwarts. He did a lot of offense in there but
difficult to catch him when he did offense. He did
nasty action over and over again until he transform as
dark wizard.
79
Second, knowing the development of character of
Voldemort, the writer analyzed the characterization of
Voldemort by dividing the life of him into four time:
childhood, adolscence, Tom Riddle after Hogwarts, and
Tom Riddle transforms being Lord Voldemort. Following
that analysis, Voldemort has odd attitude and every
action that he has done always has bad impact for
people. Voldemort also has a consistency to do the bad
and nasty things. Such as, when he graduates from
Hogwarts, he worked in Borgin and Burkes as an
intermediary to persuade the people to sell their
stuffs in there. He has mission to go to Hepzibah
Smith’s house to persuade her for selling her stuff,
but an incident happened in there. Riddle killed
Hepzibah Smith after she showed her family treasure and
a heavy golden locket that had Slytherin’s mark. Then,
he took the treasures of her. But, Riddle killed her by
blaming the house fairy of Hepzibah. He made plan to
show that Hepzibah’s house fairy is the murderer.
80
Third, the writer analyzed the characterization of
Voldemort based on psychoanalysis approach. The
characterization of Voldemort is affected by his
unconscious mind. In Voldemort’s case he conceals his
secret memory in it. Unconscious mind is the place of
the id. Looking at Voldemort’s case about his past that
he never gets what he needs in his past so he has
ambition to satisfy himself by fulfilling his needs,
such as he wanted to be the one who had power,
immortal, and he has desire to be number one from the
others. What Voldemort needed in line with the
principle of the id.
Besides, the id is most influence the personality
of Voldemort and every action that he did, it caused he
grew up to be a scary and horrible person and he also
did a lot of vile actions to satisfy his desire and to
avoid feeling anxiety and uncomfortable. For instance,
he killed his father because he knew that his father
left his mother and the truth that his father was a
81
muggle. He was angry with his father and not comfort
about his father status because he had desire to be the
wizard who has pure-blood. He was worry if there is
wizard know about the fact of his statuse especially
the wizards who follow him as the part of Death Eater.
To satisfy his desire he connected his status with the
famous ancestor, Salazar Slytherin because he had same
ability with him (can speak with sneak) and made
himself as descent of him. The other examples shows the
action of Voldemort that influenced by id are he killed
Hepzibah Smith, tried to ablish Harry Potter, and
created horcruxes.

APPENDIX
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by
J.K Rowling
(2005)
Harry potter and the Half-Blood prince
is the sixth novel of Harry Potter
series by J.K Rowling. The story tells
the life of Harry Potter in sixth year
at Hogwarts. In this year a lot of
incidents happens. It is started when
the Ministry of Magic (Cornelius Fudge) visited the
Muggle Prime Minister to give information what the
incident happens in wizard world. Fudge explained that
a lot of incidents happened in wizard world that got
bad impact in muggle world, such as the collapse of the
Brockdale Bridge, a supposed hurricane in the West
Country, the deaths of Amelia Bones and Emmeline
Vance and the insanity of Junior Minister Herbert
86
Chorley which have all been caused by Lord Voldemort,
his followers the Death Eaters and their Giant allies.
It means that the Wizarding War has begun. Fudge also
revealed that he has been changed and replaced by Rufus
Scrimgeour as Minister of Magic and he would meet the
Prime Minister and discusses security arrangements with
him.
The second chapter told Narcissa Malfoy and
Bellatrix Lestrange, they visited Snape’s house at
Spinner’s End a poverty-stricken neighborhood in a
northern mill town. Narcissa wanted Snape to help by
giving proctection for her son Draco Malfoy who has
been join Death Eater and has been sent to a mission by
Lord Voldemort. Then, she explained that Draco would
certain to fail in the mission was given for him.
Narcissa and Snape believed that Lord Voldemort gave
this mission for Draco to punish Draco’s father because
he failed to do the mission to retrieve the prophecy at
the Department of Mysteries was given by him. Bellatrix
87
gave an idea to make unbreakable vow for Snape so he
would keep his promise to protect and help Draco in
mission.
In the chapter 3, Albus Dumbledore sent Harry
letter that tonight he would visit the Dursley’s house
at Privet Drive number 4 which the house where Harry
lives and asked him to follow his Journey, and he also
would take Harry to The Burrow (the house of Weasley
family). During his visiting, Dumbledore told the
Sirius Black’s will that Harry inherits his family’s
wealth he Black family house at 12 Grimmauld
Place which Harry lets as the Order of the Phoenix’s
place, and the House-elf Kreacher. The, Dumbledore also
told Dursley’s family to let Harry back to their home
for the last time. Chapter 4, Albus Dumbledore brought
Harry to visit his old friend. Dunbledore’s aim visited
his old friend prof. Horace Slughron to teach again at
Hogwarts but, he refused it. Then Harry said to him
that no teachers have died since Dumbledore became
88
Headmaster, except Professor Quirrell, who was working
for Voldemort. In short, Prof. Horace accepted the
Dumbledore’s request and Harry became one of his
favorite students, therefore he put Harry in his club
Slug club.
Another chapter, told about Dumbledore who gave
Harry course to visit his memory that told about the
secret life of Voldemort. In the chapter 10 is the
first memory of Dumbledore that shown the story of
Voldemort’s family. He has grandfather who has name
Marvolo Gaunt and his uncle is Morfin, and Marvolo’s
daughter is Merope. It told the action was done by
Morfin, he attacked muggle thus the Magical Law
Enforcement Patrol Bob Ogden visited their house to
give punishment for him. When he visited them he saw
Marvolo tried to attack his daughter because she in
love with a muggle Tom Riddle. After viewing
Dumbledore’s memory, Dumbledore explained Harry about
Voldemort’s family that both Marvolo and Morfin were
89
sentenced to six months and three years in Azkaban the
jail for the wizard and He also reveals that Merope
Gaunt was Voldemort's mother and Riddle was his father,
thus making Marvolo Voldemort's as grandfather and
Morfin as his uncle. While her father and brother in
jail, Merope felt free and she married with the man who
she loves Tom Riddle. Here, Dumbledore and Harry made
speculation that Merope gave Tom Love Potion and then
they married. After long they lived together, Merope
stopped giving Tom it and Tom left her when she was
pregnant because he did not feeling with her.
In second Harry’s lesson, Dumbledore brought Harry
in his memory when he met the young Voldemort. In the
previous memory Tom left Merope when she was pregnant
and when the day she born the baby she went to the
orphanage. After she born the baby, she gave his son
name Tom Marvolo Riddle, the boy who would become Lord
Voldemort. Living in orphanage made him grow up became
the odd boy and the naughty boy. He likes to disturb
90
his friends, give terror so they afraid of him. The
worst thing that Riddle did is he killed Billy’s
rabbit. Since he was a boy, Tom Riddle used his powers
to make people suffer and give punishment to people who
he did not like.
Several times Harry Visited Dumbledore’s memory,
he knew who the real Voldemort is. Voldemort has bad
behavior and he always did nasty action. When he
studied in Hogwarts he did always offense but he was
very difficult to catch him when he did it. He killed a
girl who studied in Hogwarts because he need victim to
be sacrificed to open the chamber of the secret. He
also has interest in dark magic, it is proved when he
asked prof. Slughron the way to make horcrux, prof.
Slughron said that to make it you have to kill someone
first. Riddle has curiosity about his family, so when
the school holiday he decided to seek his family. He
visited his Grandfather’s house, in there he knew the
truth that his mother married with muggle and then his
91
father left his mother when she was pregnant. Knowing
that Riddle angry and he made plan to kill his father.
While he did his plan, he killed his father and his
father’s family by blaming his uncle. Before, he killed
them he uses the spell for his uncle and stole his wand
so the Minster Law of Magic reckon the murder of
Riddle’s family is Morfin. Another offense he did was
he killed Hepzibah Smith a client in Borgin and Burkes
