INTRODUCTION
The film is a work of literature.
Klarer .
n Narudin, 2.
stated that films can be categorized into types of literary works because all kinds of film presentation modes are in accordance with the features of literary texts and can also be explained within a textual Based on Klarer's opinion, it can be assumed that films articulate various features, and functions that are not much like those of literary texts.
For this reason, a film is also sometimes compared to a drama because it combines two different elements, namely audio elements and visual elements.
Corresponding author Bianca Malinda.
Nirwan & Lyla Nawakwulan Personality Structure of Arthur Fleck as the Main Character in the Film Joker by Todd Phillips Eneste .
even stated that film is a combination of various arts, music, fine arts, drama, literature, and elements of photography.
A film, like a literary work, also includes various messages, be they moral messages, education, entertainment, or information.
In this context, the messages articulated in films usually use a symbol or symbolic mechanism that exists in the human mind in the form of the content of words or conversations conveyed by actors in the film.
In line with Eneste's assumption.
McQuail .
films are a vehicle for socialization and the inheritance of values, norms, and culture, which means that apart from being indirect entertainment, films can potentially transmit various values to the audience.
Apart from that, films also function as a source of knowledge that provides information about events, social conditions, and various societal phenomena from various parts of the world, including psychological phenomena.
Therefore, in this research, the film, which is a literary work, is seen as a psychological phenomenon, which will display various psychological aspects depicted through the characters in it.
Then, speaking further about literature and psychology.
Jatman .
n Bedewoda, 2015:.
assumes that a literary work and psychology have a close relationship, both indirectly and functionally.
It is said to be indirect because literary and psychological works have the same object, namely human life, while it is said to be functional because they both study other people's mental states, but the difference is that in psychology these are real symptoms, whereas in literature they are both real, imaginative symptoms.
In line with Jatman's assumption.
Ratna .
stated that a literary work is the result of the author's activities which are often associated with psychological symptoms because literary works are the creation of an author who consciously or unconsciously uses psychological theory.
Based on Ratna's opinion, it can be argued that literary works as a psychological phenomenon are conditions where literary works act as a reflection of the An author captures psychological symptoms through imagination in creating characters and storylines, which originate from his own psychological experience or in the form of imagination that comes from outside.
When the author is in the creative process, mental reflection occurs which comes from imagination which actually arises from the subconscious which they are not aware of.
Therefore, it can be concluded that literary work is a psychological activity that is closely related to psychological phenomena that actually emerge from the subconscious mind of the author.
Then the various psychological problems and phenomena are put together by an author by adding other story-building elements or creating a fictional story in such a way that it becomes a complete story.
This is also what, according to Waluyo .
, is an element of creativity and expertise of an author in arranging problem after problem to build a In this context, film as a literary work not only articulates societal phenomena, social conditions, and values but also provides In line with Waluyo.
Stanton .
stated that apart from creating imaginative characters originating from the subconscious, an author also adds entertainment facilities to create an Therefore, of course, an author adds other story-building elements, including facts, themes, points of view, symbolism, irony, and problems or conflicts.
This is also depicted in the film Joker by Todd Phillips which was released in 2019.
This thriller genre film depicts a quite unique phenomenon, because usually a problem arises because of a problem between characters, in this film the characters struggle with themselves.
In terms of storyline, the Joker film tells the story of a young man named Arthur Fleck who suffers from the mental disorder Pseudobulbar Affects (PBA), where people with mental disorders often suddenly laugh and make different expressions.
from their mood.
So Arthur Fleck had to carry a card containing an explanation of his Pseudobulbar Affects (PBA) so that people around him could understand and relate to his disorder.
Arthur Fleck in this film is often scolded by people around him because he laughs too much and is considered rude, especially when in public places.
Even in one scene in the film Joker.
Arthur is defeated by a group of men on a train because he is considered strange.
This film by Todd Phillips depicts society's stigma towards people with mental disorders, especially in America, who are considered sadistic and dangerous.
It even creates a perception in society that people with mental JELL (Journal of English Language and literatur.

php/jell disorders must be treated asocially and must be So people with mental disorders like Arthur often receive bad treatment, such as being ostracized, beaten, ridiculed, and so on.
The description of the psychological problems that are so prominent in the character Arthur Fleck in the film Joker, then aroused the curiosity of researchers to explore further the personality of Arthur Fleck as the main character in the film Joker.
Therefore, in order to answer this feeling of interest, the next researcher conducted a study of Arthur Fleck's personality as the main character in the film Joker using psychoanalytic theory.
The concept of psychoanalysis in this context is a concept where the object emphasized is humans, both their personality and their bodies.
Based on these considerations, researchers feel that psychoanalytic theory is the most appropriate theory for analyzing psychological problems or phenomena displayed and attached to a Then, further regarding psychoanalysis.
Wellek and Warren .
stated that psychoanalysis or psychology in literature has four possible meanings.
First, study the author's psychology as a type or person.
Second, study the creative process.
Third, study the types and laws of psychology applied to literary works.
Fourth, the study of the impact of literature on readers or reader psychology.
Based on Wellek and Warren's opinion, in this research as the main basis, the researcher uses the third definition of psychology in literature, namely the study of psychological types and the laws applied in literary works.
This is very reasonable because the aim of this research is to analyze the main character and the psychological problems he experiences.
So the researchers in this study felt it was quite appropriate to use the study of psychological types and psychological laws in literary works to analyze the characteristics and psychological problems of Arthur Fleck as the main character in the film Joker.
Then, as previously explained by researchers, psychological phenomena which are the main idea in a work such as a film cannot be separated from other story-forming elements such as setting, plot, and characterization, so researchers in this study will also analyze narrative elements in films.
Therefore, this research has a research flow, namely first the researcher will map the supporting elements in the film using an analysis of the narrative Second, the researcher mapped out the framework of the story and then continued by analyzing Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic This is done by transforming dialogue, scenes, and footage of the characters, especially the main characters in the film.
Finally, the researcher explains the thought patterns, behavior, and emotional side articulated by the main character.
Then, in an effort to emphasize this research amidst the treasures of literary studies, in this research the researcher included two previous studies related to the research The first is research by Abdur Rahman.
Ulfatmi Azlan, and Firdiansyah .
with the title Personality Disorders as Seen In The Joker Movie By Todd Phillip.
Second, research by Yustina Fitriani .
, according to her journal Analysis of Psychological Aspect of The Main Character In Movie "Joker" Based on Sigmund Freud Theory.
Based on the research background that has been explained by researchers regarding psychological phenomena in the film Joker by Todd Phillips, which in this context is the phenomenon of Arthur Fleck's personality as the main character and how the supporting elements of the story are contained in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
This research aims to find:.
Describe the narrative elements contained in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
Describe the personality structure of Arthur Fleck as the main character in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
METHOD
The research method generally used in this research is literary criticism of structuralism.
Then the structuralism method itself, basically views that a literary work is a collection of elements between the elements or a group of elements that are intertwined in a relationship.
According to Pradopo .
, structure is a building made up of systemic elements.
Between each of these elements, there is a determines each other.
In this context, the way structural analysis works on literary works is also understood as an approach that places literary works in scientific study, namely an approach that contains objectivity, certainty, and non-involvement (Wellek, 2016: .
In other words, the essence Bianca Malinda.
Nirwan & Lyla Nawakwulan Personality Structure of Arthur Fleck as the Main Character in the Film Joker by Todd Phillips of structuralism, in general, is to analyze structural goals to dismantle and explain thoroughly, in detail and in-depth the interrelationships and interweaving of all aspects and elements of literary works together to produce and form a literary work.
comprehensive and complete meaning.
Then, in this research method, the researcher chose a psychological approach to literature using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory.
This literary psychology approach was chosen by the researcher because the researcher assumes that a literary work is a psychological activity in which a literary work is created which of course cannot be separated from the psychological condition of the author and a literary work also contains social phenomena Therefore, in analyzing this research, the researcher tries to describe the personality structure of Arthur Fleck as the main character in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
In this context, it can be argued that the narrative in each scene has a linear pattern, as in the film Joker by Todd Phillips, which is always depicted sequentially from morning, afternoon, and evening to night.
Although there are variations in stories that refer to the past, these are only a small part.
This is as articulated in the film Joker by Todd Phillips as follows:
Figure 1 Scene of Arthur Fleck in his office in the morning.
The scene in the picture is the initial scene or opening scene in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
In this drama.
Arthur Fleck, as the main character, is depicted as a comedian and clown entertainer.
As someone who works as a clown, at that time Arthur Fleck was in his office in the morning to put on make-up before working as a promotional clown in a shop.
Then the scene depicting Arthur Fleck in his office in the morning is part of a time sequence with a linear pattern in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
After the morning scene is shown, the scene will switch to daytime.
This is depicted in the film Joker by Todd Phillips as follows:
FINDING AND DISCUSSION
Narrative Elements Contained In The Joker Film By Todd Phillips In this section the researcher will explain what narrative elements are contained in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
The explanation of the narrative elements contained in the film Joker by Todd Phillips is the first analysis in this research before the researcher explains the psychological aspects of Arthur Fleck as the main character.
This is intended by researchers because researchers have the assumption that a literary work such as a film cannot be separated from narrative elements as an important element that forms literary works.
Without the building blocks of a literary work, it certainly cannot remain a literary work.
Therefore, this chapter explains the narrative elements in films, including time series, plot, characterization, spatial elements, conflict, and elements of Figure 2 The scene of Arthur Fleck being attacked by a group of teenagers while he was a promotional clown in the afternoon.
The scene in the picture is a continuation scene from the opening story of the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
In this scene.
Arthur Fleck is depicted, who at that time was working as a promotional clown in a shop, experiencing acts of violence and bullying perpetrated by a group of unknown teenagers.
The scene depicted as taking place during the day is a continuation scene after the morning scene which depicts Arthur Fleck in his office doing his make-up.
Time Sequence A time sequence is a sequence that shows a certain pattern in the passage of time in a film.
Then the time sequence as a narrative element in the film Joker by Todd Phillips is a time sequence with a linear pattern.
The linear pattern in this context is a pattern that can be seen from the absence of scene jumps or story depictions that refer to the past.

After the film shows scenes set in the morning and afternoon, the scene switches to show the setting in the afternoon.
This is depicted in the film Joker by Todd Phillips as scenes in the film Joker by Todd Phillips, are shown using a sequential time background The sequential time background pattern is displayed starting from morning, afternoon, and evening.
The depiction of this sequential time pattern was carried out continuously from day to day until the Joker film by Todd Phillips was finished.
Then, with the depiction of a sequential time setting.
Todd Phillips' Joker film can be assumed to use a linear type of time Space Elements The spatial element as part of the narrative element which is the building block of a literary work certainly has an important role.
The space element is where the story characters move and understand their creativity.

Figure 4 At night Arthur Fleck takes care of his sick mother at home.
This image is a picture of Arthur Fleck's house, which is one of the spatial elements in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
In the film Joker by Todd Phillips, the house is a fairly dominant spatial element compared to other spatial elements.

php/jell plot of a film, you can look at the pattern of time elements used in the film.
Based on Pratista's assumption, it can then be argued that examining the pattern of time elements, can be used to reveal what kind of plot is in a film.
Then the pattern of time elements in the film Joker by Todd Phillips, as explained by researchers, is a linear pattern.
The linear pattern in this context is a pattern that can be seen from the absence of scene jumps or story depictions that refer to the past.
In other words, every time jump in Todd Phillips' Joker film is sequential and does not have significant time interruptions between the time jumps.
Then, if you rely on Himawan Pratista's theory of linear patterns, it can be assumed that the plot has a sequential pattern like A-B-C-D-E and so on.
Furthermore, if this pattern is applied to the film Joker by Todd Phillips, the plot in the film will be as follows.
Plot A: Introduction of the character Arthur Fleck, a man with a lower-middle-class economic condition amidst the chaos of Gotham City.
To make ends meet and his sick mother.
Arthur Fleck works as a comedian and party clown.
Plot B: Arthur Fleck, who lives with his sick mother, has to live a difficult life in the middle of a chaotic city, making Arthur's life familiar with various rejections in the community where he lives.
Plot C: As an entertainer who often makes other people laugh, the life Arthur Fleck lives is very difficult.
Bullying, insults, and even cynical behavior from people because of the Pathological Laughter and Crying (PLC) syndrome he was suffering from made Arthur Fleck even more isolated.

However, the meeting with his idol actually caused his disappointment to become even greater.
Plot E: After meeting Murray Franklin.
Arthur Fleck gets the nickname Joker and transforms into the most dangerous terror figure in Gotham City.
Figure 10 Murray's talk show studio.
In this image, a scene in Murray's talk show studio is articulated as one of the spatial elements in the film Joker by Todd Phillips.
Then Murray's talk show studio as one of the space elements is basically a space element whose portion is quite dominant.
In the studio on Murray's talk show, several scenes were articulated, namely the scene of Arthur Fleck killing Murray, and the scene of Arthur Fleck imagining being a guest on Murray's show.
Then the last room element contained in the film Joker by Todd Phillips is the stand-up comedy club.
