TESTIMONY
Herewith, I testify that in this research paper, there are no plagiarisms
of the previous literary work which have been raised to obtain bachelor degree of
a university, nor there are opinions or masterpieces which have been written or
published by others, except those which the writing was referred in the manuscript
and mentioned in bibliography. Hence, later, if it is proven that there are some
untrue statements in this testimonial, I will hold full responsibility.

In analyzing the data, the writer employs descriptive qualitative analysis.
The analysis is started by analyzing Solomon Kane id, ego, superego, and then his anxiety. The last, the writer makes an analysis of Solomon Kane character using anxiety. The outcome of the study shows that the film illustrates the anxiety of Solomon Kane in a hard world in the early sixteenth century. He is a bloodthirsty mercenary who loses his soul to the devil’s reaper and then he must save and get redeemed for his soul. Finally, the conclusion of this analysis is that people must be brave to take the consequence of what they choose, in facing the problem they must be able to make up their mind so they will not regret and will reduce their anxiety.
