Abstrak

Personality research is highly important in providing an understanding of an individual's character who lives within society. It allows individuals to learn about the challenges they will face, both in the form of internal conflicts or external conflicts, and also how to confront or avoid these issues. This research is titled "Personality Structure of the main character, Mateo Torrez, in they both die at the end by Adam Silvera." The study aims to enrich the understanding of literary studies, particularly in analyzing the psychological aspects of personality structure as stated in Sigmund Freud's theory. The purpose of this research is to understand the personality structure of the main character, Mateo Torrez, in the novel they both die at the end by Adam Silvera, using Sigmund Freud's theory. The researcher chose this novel because it exhibits interesting psychological aspects to study, and the character of Mateo Torrez is the most dominant character in the novel. This research considers three aspects of personality structure, namely the Id, ego, and superego. The research classifies, identifies, and generates data related to the personality of the main character. In Mateo Torrez's personality, the Ego is the dominant aspect, representing rationality, self-awareness, and balance in decision-making. The Id and Super Ego, representing instinctual drives and internalized moral standards, are present but relatively less dominant. This suggests that Mateo prioritizes rationality and conscious decision-making in his actions and choices. Thus, Mateo possesses a dominant Ego personality.
