CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion
As the conclusion, in each stages there were events that represented
Penelope’s id, ego and superego. Penelope’s id was she wanted to express her
anger toward Cowans and her ego was reacted to her id which express the
anger to Cowans directly. However, her superego responded and gave her
sense of morality which she felt that expressing her anger directly to Cowans
would be inappropriate and chose avoiding inappropriate ways to express her
anger. There was a clash between her id and superego which she felt
distressed whether she wanted to express her anger to the Cowans directly but
the social norm and value were existed as the barrier. In order to survive,
Penelope used several types of defense mechanism. Those defense
mechanisms were repression, which she repressed her anger from expressing
it directly to Cowans; rationalization, which she re-interpreted her
unconscious motivation from expressing her anger to Cowans directly into
rational and acceptable behavior by using indirect ways to express it; and
reaction formation, which she made the demand into socially acceptable. As
the result of the process of finding the events in every plot stages until the
operation of structure of personality, Penelope’s behavior could be revealed

as being thoughtful.

B. Suggestion for Further Study
The film script Carnage is not only can be analyzed only for Penelope’s
behavior through Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis but there are many
possible things to analyze from this literary works. The possible topic for this
Carnage film script could be about parenting system among the characters
using cultural approaches; or using Jean Baudrillard’s live theory to analyze
the methaphor as social system in real world.
