<![CDATA[This research aims to analyze and compare the psychological structures of Sukrosono and Sumantri in Sindhunata’s novel Anak Bajang Mengayun Bulan. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic approach, focusing on the Id, Ego, and Superego. Data were collected through close reading and note-taking of the novel’s narratives and dialogues. The results indicate that Sukrosono’s personality is dominated by the Superego, reflecting sincerity and spirituality, whereas Sumantri is driven by an Ego caught between worldly ambition and guilt. A significant disparity is found in how both characters respond to internal conflicts and devotion. The study concludes that this character duality represents the eternal struggle between materialism and spirituality within the human psyche. These findings provide significant implications for enhancing literary psychology studies in Indonesian language and literature education.]]>
