desire or want that energize and direct goal oriented behavior; influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior. This means that someone
who has a motivation does something seriously. He tries it hard to get his needs.
1.2 Reason for Choosing the Topic
There are a lot of points of view that deal with literary works; one of these is psychological perspective. In this final project, I want to raise this point of view in
order to dig more detail from the experts of psychology and share it to this work. In this final project I have some reasons why I conduct the study:
1 National Treasure is an adventure movie set in the USA about a search for the
lost treasure. It also involves the stealing of the Declaration of Independence. 2
I have a big concern on how the psychological state of the character could be reflected on the sentence-to-sentence basis written by the author of the script.
3 The topic of the study could lead the movie goers into a deeper understanding
of the movie itself despite of its surface appearance.
1.3 Statement of the Problem
In order to focus the topic, I state three research questions which are related to the subject of discussion:
1 How is Sir Benjamin Franklin Gates background?
2 How is Benjamin Franklin Gates obsession?
3 What is meant by Royal Syndrome in the National Treasure film as related to
the life of Sir Benjamin Franklin Gates?

1.4 Objective of the Study
The objective of the study is to describe how Benjamin Franklin Gates obsession to get treasure is reflected in the National Treasure motion picture seen from the
psychological point of view.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The result of the study is expected to give the following benefits: 1
The study would be able to facilitate the readers in understanding the film. 2
The result of the study hopefully will increase the reader’s knowledge about psychology – in this case psychoanalysis.
3 The study is expected to give additional knowledge for people who are willing
to learn psychoanalysis or literature especially about the unconscious of Sigmund Freud.
1.6 Outline of the Report
This final project is systematically organized into five chapters. Each chapter discusses different matters as follows:
Chapter one provides introduction which consists of background of the study, reason for choosing the topics, statement of the problems, objectives of the study,
and the outline of the report. Chapter two is about review of related literature. First, it talks about theory of
psychology which is the domain of psychoanalysis. Second, it discusses the unconsciousness aspects that influence behavior.

Chapter three is about the method of investigation. It deals with the object of the study, procedure of collecting data, procedure of analyzing the data and
technique of analyzing data. Chapter four is the analysis. It is the most essential part of the study, because it
