Abstract

Psychoanalysis is one of the most prominent literary theories used in modern interpretations, to explore the deeper meanings of a text and its characters. The purpose of psychoanalysis is to unveil a person's repressed emotions and experiences, making their unconscious conscious. Psychoanalysis, on the other hand, aids in knowing more about the natural assemblage of a writer's personality from birth to becoming an author. Thus, this paper aims to identify the conglomeration of the author's collected emotions and their representation in the chosen novel. The paper's finding reveals that Vegas is the place that emoted the author's repressed memories that have turned into a story. Therefore, an attempt is made to analyze the characters' actions and bridge the fictional characters and the author's personal experience using Freud's tripartite hypothesis on human mind structure: Id, Ego, and Superego
