CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusion
Having analyzed Colin Fenton and John Bentley’s personality in solving their
dilemma, the writer concludes that human behaviour is determined by the mind structure of psychoanalytic theory including the id, ego, and superego. The id within
human mind tends to legally all ways just to reach what it wants without seeing negative side which occur other things. The ego tends to stand between the id and the
superego. It is a control of balancing the strength of both id’s and superego’s driving. Superego tends to bring moral responsibility. It pushes someone to consider more
about other things than himself or herself. Officially Dead is a kind of psychological novel. This novel presents a great
story about dilemma of the two characters. Colin Fenton’s dilemma is to save his company from a financial problem by being someone’s alibi who does a robbery or
by working hard to earn money. John Bentley’s dilemma is to do a robbery as told by his wife or to be a good person. Colin and John have to choose a very difficult choice
between good and bad side. In choosing the good and the bad side, the id, ego, and superego of the two characters reveales. And in this novel, the bad side is the winner.

John Bentley’s ego is the dominant aspect in solving their dilemmas.
