Abstract

This article examines the manifestation of the shadow in Aliurridha's short story "Kurir" through Carl Gustav Jung's analytical psychology. It focuses on anger, suspicion and prejudice, threats, violence, and the final disclosure of mistaken perception. Using a literary-psychological approach and qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes dialogue, narration, and character actions. The findings indicate an escalation from verbal aggression to suspicion and intimidation, followed by the wife's fatal physical attack on the courier. The final revelation that the money was in the wife's own clothing overturns the accusation and exposes the consequences of unverified judgment. The sequence is an analytical categorization developed for this study, not a fixed set of Jungian indicators.
