Factors triggering the conflict are sociopsychological and biological factors.
The differences between this research and previous researchers are that this research focuses on the analysis of why a character in a story can commit sexual deviance according to psychoanalysis theory, where the reason behind it leads to a description of what drives our minds to decide.
The researchers do not only describe the factors that cause a person to commit sexual deviations but also try to find out the factors that encourages a person to commit sexual This film manages to show the figure of Freddie who is relaxed, flamboyant, super diva, but at the same time still looks masculine and dashing.

Psychoanalysis Psychoanalysis is a theory that discusses the nature and development of human personality.
The main elements in this theory are motivation, emotion and other aspects of personality.
Some experts defined psychoanalysis as follows:
Ego From various kind of ideas from figures and experts about the above understanding.
It is concluded that psychoanalysis is a theory that discusses the nature and development of personality forms possessed by humans.
The ego is the controller of the id impulses.
ego replaces the pleasure principle with the reality principle.
The ego is formed by differentiation from the id because of its contact with outside areas.
The ego is conscious, preconscious and not conscious, but most of the ego is conscious.
The ego runs activity in two The ego is assisted by the sense organs and consciousness so that the ego can calculate acceptable circumstances by social realities and demands.
The ego and id are interconnected, even the id and ego are barely consciously distinguishable.
The ego also controls what enters consciousness and what to Ultimately the ego guarantees unity personality in other words, functions to hold The ego has several functions including: .
holding back distribute impulses, .
regulate the urges that are up to awareness, .
directing an action in order to achieve accepted goals, .

Personality elements .
Superego According to Freud .
, human personality is divided into three interacting elements, namely the id, ego, and superego.
This explanation of each these elements is as Superego is the last component to develop The superego is anything of value that exists outside of ourselves we must obey, such as morals, ethics and religion.

revealed that every energy that exists in human comes from the same source, namely the foods they have consumed.
This means that human energy can then be distinguished from its use, namely physical energy which is energy for all physical activity and physical energy which is energy for psychic activity.
Freud revealed that initially it was only das Es or the id that had Based on the mechanism according to FreudAos theory is called identification, where the da Es or id to das Ich and das Ueber Ich.

Trust vs Mistrust The first stage of EriksonAos theory of psychosocial development is Trust vs Mistrust which begins at birth and last until around 18 months of age.

, .
in his theory of Psychosocial at the age of 18 to 40 years (Intimacy vs Isolatio.
In this stage, intimacy is a very strong personal identity between women and men.
Where at this stage is referred to as the stage of sexual maturity.
If this relationship is successful, then someone will have a friend or life partner and continuing the relationship becomes a commitment.
It can be shown in figure 2.
when Freddie Mercury gave a wedding ring to Mary Austin which shows a commitment from a man to a woman into more serious relationship.
Freddie also told Mary Austin never to let go of the ring that had been given, no matter what happened in the future.
Discussion related to the sexual orientation toward the main character was found in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie as follows:
Heterosexual From the table of sexual orientation, table 1 (Data#1&.
has shown that the main character experienced heterosexual kind of sexual It is influenced by some information related to Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin.
This is evidence when Freddie tries to marry Mary Austin and give her a ring.

Freddie convinces Mary to promise not to let go of the ring he gave to her no matter what happen.
There are some conversations as Freddie Bisexual From the table of sexual orientation, table 2 (Data#3,4&.
has shown that the main character experienced sexual orientation The result of the analysis has shown that Freddie Mercury experienced bisexual when Freddie enters the toilet with a man when Queen tour in America.
The movie was shown in minutes .
:29:10 Ae 00:29:.
: Au YouAore the love of my lifeAy Mary : Au Freddie, which finger do I put this on?Ay Freddie : AuWedding finger, will you marry me? In figure 3.
Freddie before Freddie is calling his Mary Austin to tell about the experience of the band Queen's tour while they were in America.
While talking on the phone, a man got out of a car.
Then the man looked at Freddie and gave a sign to Freddie and the man went into the men's room.
After that Freddie hung up the phone and looked towards the men's room.
this scene it is assumed that Freddie will enter the toilet, even though it is not explained in detail in the film.
In the scene depicted in Figure 1.
This happened to the main character Freddy Mercury in the Bohemian Rhapsody film where at the beginning of the film Freddie showed sexual interest in the opposite sex by trying to attract the attention of Mary Austin.
Based on Kinsey et al.
, .
article entitled Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, most humans have experiences or sensations of heterosexual or homosexual so that they are categorized as Kinsey's research has consistently found that sexual orientation is something that develops in many aspects throughout a person's According to Freud .
, he believed that all humans are bisexual, by which he meant that everyone combined aspect of both sexes.
In his view, this is correct anatomically and therefore also mentally and psychology.
Heterosexuality and homosexuality both developed from this original bisexual disposition.
During Freddie Mercury's love life which is seen at the beginning of the film.
At the beginning of the story only focuses on his love affair with Mary Austin.
Freddie got a lot of inspiration for songs and lyrics during his relationship with Mary Austin.
Their relationship got serious when Freddie introduced Mary Austin to FreddieAos parents.
Up to this scene, we still think that Freddie Mercury is a heterosexual.
In figure 4, during a busy tour schedule and there is only one Paul, the assistant who always accompanies Freddie at any time.
Paul's feelings for Freddie arise.
In this scene Freddie is composing the song "Love of my life" which was composed for Mary Austin.
When he finished singing the song Paul immediately kissed Freddie.
Here Freddie said that Paul misunderstood him and said that they were only Mukhlasul Fasikh.
Mahesa Agni,Abdul Muhid Murtadho & Susari Nugraheni Psychoanalysis of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody .
Directed Bb Bryan Singer But on the other hand.
Freddie also could not hide his sexual attraction to Paul.
Where in the middle of the film Paul finally establishes a relationship with Freddie.
It can be shown in figure 5.
Freddie finally admits that he is bisexual.
But before he said that he still convinced Mary Austin that Freddie loved her very much by saying that everyone who sings the song Love of my life sings a song to Mary Austin.
But then Mary Austin asks Freddie what something has been wrong for a long time.
Mary Austin forced Freddie to express this.
Finally.
Freddie, who had been hiding this for a long time, tried to reveal Freddie's identity.
Mary Austin also knew this, but she didn't want to admit it.
Mary Austin said that Freddie was gay or homosexual because he was in a relationship with a man.
Mary Austin also let go of the ring that Freddie had given her as a sign of the end of the relationship between the two of them.
This will make Freddie Mercury's life difficult because Freddie lives in two different worlds.
On the one hand, he really loves Mary Austin, on the other hand, there is an abnormality in him that has a sexual orientation towards men too.
According to Freud .
, it make possible to understand the concept of deviance as a form of psychic conflict resulting from constitutional and acquired factors.
He maintained .
ontrary to earlier view.
that sexual deviance was inseparable from 'normal' sexual behaviour, arguing that stem from the same source .
nfant In the first essay.
Freud classified sexual deviations into two groups, depending on whether their goals .
sadism and masochis.
or instinctive objects .
homosexuality and paedophili.
are transferred.
In his second essay, he characterizes infantile sexuality as a partial pool of instincts and an erotogenic zone, where the source and object of the instincts meet.
He also stated that infantile sexuality is auto-erotic, implying that the sexual object is dependent.
How Freddie Mercury personality based on Sigmund FreudAos psychoanalysis approach.
FreddieAos Id personality from the perspective of Sigmund FreudAos psychoanalysis.
Discussion about the element of personality toward the main character as follows: Freddie always tries to satisfy himself with fulfilment any sense.
According to Freud & Bonaparte .
, the Id consist of two kinds of biological instincts .
r driv.
, namely the sex instinct .
called Eros which contains the libid.
and the aggressive instinct .
called Thanatos.
Eros, or life instinct helps individuals survive and it directs life-sustaining activities such as breathing, eating, and sex.
The scene of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie has shown many times that Freddie Mercury always uses the Id It can be seen at minutes .
