female personality, feminine psychology, Karen Horney, movie, representationAbstract
Female characters in movies can be studied using Karen Horney's feminine psychology study. Horney refuted the understanding of traditional psychological theories on women about castration complexes and penis envy, which later resulted in female inferiority. This research is important to clarify the existence of women in movies using feminine psychology theory. The research aimed to identify how female characters are represented in the movie Naga by Meshal Al Jaser, particularly about their neurotic desires—typically associated with men and to describe the forms of treatment or behavior that reflect these neurotic desires. The research applied a descriptive qualitative research method with Karen Horney's feminine psychology analysis approach. In obtaining data, researchers took primary and secondary data sources. The researcher also applied watch, read, and listen techniques to collect data. The research used three data analysis procedures: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show the findings of nine data from the dialogues and scenes of the movie Naga that contain neurotic desires to become men in female characters, such as taking off her veil, slapping a man, being disgusted by kissing, forcing a man, smoking, rebelling, commanding a man, threatening a man, and insulting a man. This research provides a new perspective that neurosis can form a reaction to social injustice, especially in a patriarchal society.
