The data collection technique used is the library technique. The data in this study were analyzed using Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. Based on the study results in Voltaire's Roman Zadig ou La Destinée, the personality obtained from the main character consists of 3 aspects: Id, Ego, and Superego. The id aspects found in Zadig's personality are simple, good character, sincere and noble, humble, and disloyal. This id aspect then develops into a driving force in doing something or is influenced by desire, which is the Ego aspect. The ego aspects found in Zadig's personality based on the id aspect are (a) Fighter, formed because of kindness repaid with evil. Finally, he always fights for his goodness. In addition, he also fights to get back together with his crush. (b) Hospitality: This ego aspect is formed because of Zadig's kindness, sincerity, and humility. (c) This ego aspect is also formed because of Zadig's kindness, who cannot allow others to be oppressed. Meanwhile, the superego aspect is formed when the id and ego aspects combine, thus producing the wisdom contained in Zadig's personality.
