Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of psychopathy in the movie Maniac, focusing on the psychopathic characteristics of Frank as the main character and the factors contributing to his behavior. A descriptive qualitative method is employed to analyze the data. Hare’s theory of psychopathy is used to identify the characteristics, while Freud’s psychoanalytic theory is applied to examine the contributing factors.

Furthermore, the results indicate that Frank’s psychopathic behavior is influenced by the dominance of the id over the ego and superego
