CHAPTER III FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.2 Symptoms of Inferiority Complex
3.2.3 Anger
The people who have low self–esteem may be prone to feel disrespected by others who have self–esteem higher than him. Likewise, the feeling of disrespect might become an emotion called anger. According to Adeka (2019), Anger considered the last symptom of inferiority complex. In this movie, the character of Combo also shown this symptom in some scenes. There is a scene
29
wheres Puke made Combo mad after the National Front’s meeting. It is shown on the dialogue below,
Puke : “Well, can I ask you something?”
Combo : *nodding his head*
Puke : “Do you really believe in all that shit, Combo?”
*Combo stopping his car and try to kicking Puke out of the car*
Puke : “Fucking hell, Comb! Oi, Gadge, come with me. He's getting me out.”
Combo : “Open the fucking door! Get fucking out now! Get fucking out!”
Puke : “All right, all right, all right.”
Combo : “Out of the car! Get out, you little fucking shitbag! You... don't you fucking ever... fucking ever, ever undermine me again in front of my fucking troops! Do you understand me? Eh? Yeah? Now, fuck off back to Woody, you little fucking queer!”

Figure 3.12 Combo kicked Puke out of his car (This is England, Shane Meadows, 2007, 01:01:13)
Based on the dialogue, and figure 3.12 above, the researcher finds out the character of Combo was angry because Puke made him seem stupid to believe what he stands about the National Front party in front of his group. From the last statement of Combo on the dialogue above, he warned Puke to do not demeaning him again, even Combo considered the other skinheads in his group as a troop and himself as a leader in that group. At this scene, Combo portrayed himself as a temperamental skinhead who is easily offended, also an arrogant skinhead who considered himself as a group leader.

Combo as a group leader also robbed Mr. Shandu’s shop, where Shaun was banned from coming at the beginning of the movie. Combo’s group rob Mr.Shandu’s shop to get the cigarettes and booze as presents for Smell’s party, and Combo using a machete as a weapon. It is shown in figure 3.13 below,
Figure 3.13 Combo rob Mr.Shandu with his machete (This is England, Shane Meadows, 2007, 01:06:18)
In the robbing scene, the researcher finds that Combo’s weapon helped him to throw his anger to Mr.Shandu as a threat. Besides, Combo showed that he was completely angry because Mr.Shandu interrupted him and Combo felt disrespected. It is shown in the dialogue below,
Combo : “Picking on a fucking kid, was you? Eh?”
Sandhu: “Take what you want and go.”
Combo : “Shut up! I'm talking. I'm your fucking size. Fuck with me.”
Sandhu: “You've got what you want. Just go now.”
Combo : “Don't you fucking dare backchat me, cause I will slay you now where you fucking stand, you fucking Paki cunt. Right? You listen to fucking me!”
(This is England, Shane Meadows, 2007, 01:06:56)
Also, the next sentences of Combo in the same scene were about blaming Mr.Shandu as an immigrant for taking jobs off from decent people. Subsequently, the researcher presumes it will be the supporting data that Combo has showed a symptom of superiority complex which are haughtiness, and feeling of being always right. It is shown in the dialogue below,

Combo: “That fucking kid's dad died for this fucking country. What have you fucking done for it? Fuck all, but take fucking jobs off decent people.”
(This is England, Shane Meadows, 2007, 01:07:18)
Based on the dialogue above, the researcher ascertains that Combo has the feeling of being always right. Combo was judging Mr.Shandu easily for only take a job on England as an immigrant. Then, the next sentence from Combo is about haughtiness. It is shown in the dialogue below,
Combo: “Now, listen, son, listen good. We'll be back here whenever we want, right, cause this is fucking ours now. This is ours, this, fucking Sandhu.
Don't forget that. Any fucking time!”
(This is England, Shane Meadows, 2007, 01:07:26)
According to the dialogue above, haughtiness was portrayed by the character of Combo as he claimed Mr.Shandu’s shop belongs to his group now.
The researcher finds the reason of why Combo claimed Mr.Shandu’s shop. It is because Mr.Shandu is a Pakistans who lived in England, and his shop where he works located in England, was banned Shaun from coming, also Combo as an English skinhead hate the immigrant. Therefore, now the researcher believed that Combo has the third symptom of inferiority complex.
Inferiority Complex can be identified by determining the subject through the three symptoms. Based on those data above, the researcher finds that the character of Combo has all the symptoms of the inferiority complex. Inferiority complex of Combo’s character can affects other characters by his negotiation and offended. As a result, the character of Combo in This Is England’s movie has an inferiority complex. On the next subchapter, the researcher will be determining what causing Combo to has both complexes.
