The writer applied qualitative approach to interpret the data descriptively. He took the data from narrations and dialogues in the novel. In doing so, the writer read the novel to understand it. In addition, he also did internet browsing to find relevant additional information. The writer analyzed the main character of the novel named Aysel who had mental depression. In this regard, he employed Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis id, ego, and superego since he analyzed the personality of the main character. The theory has helped him to analyze the data. The research findings show that the main character of the novel, Aysel, had depression. She was so depressed that she had strong desire to commit suicide. However, being afraid to do so alone, through internet, Aysel found a partner who had the same intention. The research findings also show that openess and togetherness with her suicide partner, Roman made her realize that what she so far had thought of commiting suicide to solve her life problems was wrong and actually, in the world she was not alone suffering the mental problem. She fell in love with Roman whom she was afraid to lose, and she finally cancelled to commit suicide.Hence, it is concluded that depression has made the main character of the above novel intend to have the desire to commit suicide and the id, ego and superego have played an important role in her personality. Keywords: Mental Depression, Psychoanalysis, Id, Ego, Supereego
