Abstract

The study is about the relation between environment and character building in In Richard Lagravenese’ Freedom Writers. The major problem in this research is how Self Defense Mechanism of Erin Gruwell is reflected In Richard Lagravenese’ Freedom Writers. The objective of the study is to describe the structural elements of the movie and to analyze major character’s behavior from psychoanalysis approach.. The writer conducts the research by using qualitative method that use the library research, while the data sources are literary data that are divided into two categories, primary and secondary data. The primary data are the movie entitled Freedom Writers itself and the secondary data include several references books of Psychoanalysis. The object of the research is the Self Defense Mechanism in Richard Lagravanese’s Freedom Writers. Based on the defense mechanism psychoanalytic approach, defense can be happened if there is a threatening moments. So the defense of the film such as denial, displacement, intellectualization, projection, rationalization, reaction formation, regression and sublimation. On the Freedom Writers movie, it appears a lot of defenses because the major character is a new teacher who has high intelegancies, so she always talks rationally to other people. If there is a person who talks with no rationality, she dares to deny or even dares to fix it. The large Ego of one person who has better intelegancies makes her/him more specific in making decision and accepting other people opinion. So that is why Erin Gruwell has a lot of defense mechanism in denial. Beside that she also has a large defense of intellectualization because Erin Gruwell is a great teacher, but she rarely shows it in front of her students and her teacher friends. It is better if she does it directly than doing many talks. It is better for her to keep teaching the class rather than fighting.
