| Summary: | This research is about the problems that are experienced by the main
character and the cause of those problems. The research object is a teen novel
titled L�été où Je suis Né by Florence Hinckle. The novel is about a teenage boy
named Léo who faces many issues when he starts falling for Xavière. Before
analyzing the problems of the main character, the analysis of intrinsic elements
such as theme, plot, character and characterization, setting, and point of view are
first analyzed using structural theory. The problems experienced by the main
character are then analyzed using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory. Based
on the analysis, it can be concluded that the major issues that are experienced by
Leo are related to his relationship with Xavière. The cause of these problems is
the active process of an unconscious mind. Thoughts and memories about his past
always appear and affect all of his actions. These unconscious processes are the
cause of many of Leo's problems.
