The data that has been collected is analyzed with coding techniques and then described and interpreted. The results of this study show that the aggressive neurotic form of the main character is divided into three, namely the need for power or authority with aggression and violence patterns, the need to take advantage of others with manipulation and exploitation patterns, and the need for ambition and social appreciation with obsession and domination patterns. Neurotic conflicts experienced by the character are interpersonal conflicts caused by the character's relationship with the closest environment, namely the family environment and the social environment of the character's friendship. Neurotic conflicts develop into anxiety and basic hostility.
