Grounded on the problem statements, the objectives of this study are: 1) To find out the psychological personalities in the novella, 2) To describe the clash between the id and the superego in the novella. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research which is intended to analyze the clash between the id and the superego in Mark Twain’s novella entitled “The Mysterious Stranger”, as experienced by some characters of the novella namely; the boys, Satan, Father Peter, the astrologer, Marget and Ursula. This study uses psychological approach and takes the psychoanalysis theory from Sigmund Freud. In this theory, there are three layers of personality: the id, the ego and the superego. This theory is used to guide the analysis of characters’ conflicts. In this research, the researcher only uses sample which is taken purposively. The primary data of this study are taken from the novella based on the theory of the id and the superego. This research does not use the secondary data because this study only uses making conceptual coherence to ascertain the quality of the data. The instrument that is used in this study is the novella. In this research, the process of analyzing the data uses interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The findings of the research are consisting two problems. Firstly, the id is represented by Satan and the astrologer while the superego is represented by the boys, Father Peter, Marget and Ursula. Secondly, the conflict between the id and the superego is reflected in different events and among different characters. The id versus the superego is reflected between Satan and the boys with Satan as the winner, between the boys and Father Peter with The boys as the winner, between Father Peter and the astrologer with the astrologer as the winner, between Satan and Ursula with Satan as the winner, between Satan and Marget with Satan as the winner. So the id is the winner and the superego as the loser.
