This research presents the anxiety analysis of a character named Connell Waldron from the novel Normal People by Sally Rooney published in 2018 by Faber & Faber consisting of 266 pages. It is a novel that tells a story about two people’s lives and relationships from their teenage years until adulthood. Connell Waldron, one of the main characters, suffers from anxiety that affects his way of thinking and behavior and most importantly his relationship. It studies the character of Connell Waldron based on Sigmund Freud’s theory from his psychoanalysis theories focusing on anxiety which is divided into three types of anxiety. The three types of anxiety are reality or realistic anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. This research aims to reveal Connell Waldron's anxiety in the novel Normal People based on the three types of anxiety. This research uses qualitative methods to study Connell Waldron’s anxiety which observes the character that is analyzed in depth. The evidence for the research data is collected from the narration and dialogues from the novel by reading and analyzing the data. As the results of this research, the writer finds that Connell Waldron shows the experiences of the three types of anxiety which are realistic anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. The writer found 16 narrations and dialogues that indicate the anxiety experienced by Connell. The writer concludes that his anxiety is mostly revealed in his internal psychological issues such as insecurity and hopelessness, guilt from violating societal norms and his morals, and external dangers such as unwanted social interaction and unsecured financial status.
