ABSTRACT

Anxiety is part of the defense mechanism. Defense mechanisms are
psychological strategies unconsciously used to defend a person from anxiety
arising from unacceptable thoughts or feelings. This study concerned on finding
out the types of Moses’ anxiety and to investigate the defense mechanism that
Moses employs in reducing his anxiety by employing Freud’s concept as the main
theory. The design of this research employed qualitative research with content
analysis as its approach. As the data, this study employed words including
narrations and dialogues that were taken from Exodus: Gods and Kings movie
script.
This study showed Moses character experienced three types of anxieties
covering neurotic anxiety, moral anxiety, realistic anxiety. Furthermore, Moses
also employed five features of the defense mechanism covering repression,
formation, isolation, denial, and aggression. As follows, the conclusion of this
research considered Moses character experienced neurotic anxiety when he
identifies a boy that represented as the authority figure who was punishing him.
The moral anxiety experienced in four times, overall happened when he feels
guilty about the situation and realistic anxiety experienced three times by Moses’
character because he managed some threats from the outer world. Moreover, all
these features of the defense mechanism used to cope Moses’s anxious feeling.
The implication of this research provided another view in seeing Exodus: Gods
and Kings movie as the portrayal of the way how people can suffer anxiety easily,
because anxious feeling happens from many factors and also how people tried to
use the defense mechanism to reduce anxiety.
