CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Since the story in Mr. Brooks is rich of personality issues, so the theory that the writer applies in observing the story is Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis about
personality structure. However, to apply the theory of Sigmund Freud’s personality structure, there should be an analysis about the intrinsic element of the story. The most
important element that must be observed in the film is character. Character is not only playing a major role in the story but character is also creating a conflict that can develop
and build the idea of the story. Therefore, there will be two theories which can be applied in the research; Character and Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis about personality
structure.
