This study explores the psychological struggles of Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries using Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytic theory. The analysis focuses on Mias anxiety as she transitions from an ordinary teenager to the heir of the Genovian throne. Freuds model of the id, ego, and superego is used to understand the conflict between Mias personal desires and societal expectations. Her id craves a normal teenage life, while her superego demands that she fulfill her royal duties. The ego attempts to balance these opposing forces, leading to intense anxiety and self-doubt. Furthermore, the study examines Mias use of defense mechanisms such as repression and sublimation to cope with her psychological distress. Through a qualitative approach, this research highlights how unresolved inner conflicts shape Mias character development, offering a deeper understanding of anxiety in young adult literature.

Penelitian lanjutan dapat dilakukan dengan mengeksplorasi lebih dalam pengaruh lingkungan sosial Genovia terhadap pembentukan identitas Mia, mempertimbangkan bagaimana norma dan ekspektasi budaya kerajaan memengaruhi mekanisme pertahanan dirinya. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan dengan menganalisis representasi kecemasan pada tokoh remaja perempuan dalam novel-novel lain, untuk mengidentifikasi pola-pola universal dan perbedaan budaya dalam pengalaman tersebut. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif mendalam dengan wawancara terhadap pembaca muda dapat dilakukan untuk memahami bagaimana mereka menginterpretasikan perjuangan psikologis Mia dan bagaimana hal itu resonansi dengan pengalaman pribadi mereka, sehingga memberikan wawasan tentang dampak representasi kesehatan mental dalam literatur remaja.
