Abstract

This study aims to reveal the personalities of the characters in the short story Ruang Negatif by M. Z. Billal by examining how the id, ego, and superego interact to shape the actions and inner conflicts of Jamil and Ibu. Indonesian literary works, including short stories, often address psychological themes, such as trauma, loss, and parent-child relationships, as a means of emotional reflection. The focus of the study is limited to the short story text and two central characters without reviewing broader social aspects. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a Sigmund Freudian literary psychology approach through the process of collecting and grouping quotations related to personality structure. The analyzed data are in the form of text fragments describing the characters' behavior, feelings, and thoughts, which are then interpreted using Freud's psychodynamic framework. The research findings indicate that Jamil is able to balance the functions of the id, ego, and superego, while Ibu tends to be dominated by the superego but is still influenced by trauma from loss, which gives rise to id impulses in the form of fear. The study also found interesting things in the use of symbols in routines, such as tidying up, which reflects efforts to organize life, as well as the use of a mixed plot and an I-point of view that deepens the psychological depiction of the characters.

Abstract

The phenomenon underlying this study is the increasing crisis of meaning and existential uncertainty in modern human life. This condition is reflected in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Endgame, both of which portray characters trapped in cycles of waiting, repetition, and existential emptiness. Although previous studies have examined these plays individually within the Theatre of the Absurd, there is a lack of comparative research that systematically analyzes how absurdity is differently constructed in both works. This study addresses that gap. This research aims to analyze the forms and representations of absurdity through a comparative approach. Using a descriptive-qualitative method, the study applies textual analysis focusing on dialogue, dramatic structure, characterization, and setting. The findings reveal that Waiting for Godot represents absurdity through endless waiting, repetitive dialogue, and unclear identity and purpose. In contrast, Endgame depicts a static, post-apocalyptic environment shaped by dominance, dependency, and the awareness of an inevitable ending. While both plays convey existential meaninglessness, they differ in the intensity of their conflicts, the dynamics of their relationships, and their symbolic representations of space and time. This study contributes by offering a comparative perspective that deepens understanding of absurdity in Beckett’s works and highlights their critique of post–World War II existential conditions.
