Abstract

Self-destruction is ahuman‟s action to destroy themselves because of deep sadness, depression, loneliness and despair. In this graduating paper, the researcher discusses the self-destruction actions that happen in the main character of Herman Melville‟sBartleby the Scrivener. It is a descriptive qualitative research using Sigmund Freud‟s psychoanalysis theory about personality structureincluding Id or human desire that should be fulfilled like eating and drinking, Ego which means the control of Id and Superego as the human supporting factor under conscious mind. The problem of this research is how does Herman Melville tell Bartleby‟s self-destruction in Bartleby the Scrivenerbased on Sigmund Freud‟s psychoanalisis? From this research, the researcher can conclude that Bartleby‟spersonality structureis unbalance. Bartleby‟s Id always dominates and defeats his Superego. Hence, the Ego‟s decision always follows the strong exhortation of his Id. Finally, it leads to Bartleby‟s self-destruction.
