<![CDATA[Psychological issue namely neurotics has always been an important matter in human life since long ago. There have been several literary works that represent this psychological issue.

The source of the data is the script and scenes of the I, Tonya movie. From the research, it can be concluded that a neurotic personality is shaped due to several aspects. Tonya Harding's childhood and culture had an impact on how she behaved as an adult.
