Abstract :
This thesis aims to analyze the characterization of the character Anthony in the film The Father by
using several theories in the literature review. The theory in the literature review used to analyze the
character is the theory of denial and delusion defense mechanisms. This research uses a qualitative
approach. The research object in this thesis is the script of the movie The Father, written by Florian
Zeller. The research data in this thesis is collected from the conversations of several characters in
the script of the movie The Father. The results of this study are the denial found in Anthony's
utterances with several characters in the script of The Father with the denial of self-rejection of old
age shown in his stubbornness and anger. Furthermore, the delusion found in Anthony's utterances
with several characters in The Father script is the self-denial of oldness shown in his paranoid and
confused nature. Therefore, I made this research with the intention of showing how the nature of
denial leads to delusions in elderly people.
