This study analyzes how Mulan, the main character in Disney’s Mulan (2020), struggles against societal expectations and how this struggle reflects her psychological development based on Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology. Using a qualitative descriptive method and an intrinsic literary approach, the analysis identifies key scenes and dialogues that depict her inner conflict, resistance to traditional gender roles, and pursuit of personal growth and authenticity. Her struggles are discussed step by step through important moments in her life, starting from being forced to hide her feelings as a child, experiencing conflict within her family, making the decision to disguise herself as a man, and eventually accepting her true self and gaining recognition. The findings show that Mulan’s journey is not merely a reaction to external pressure, but a conscious process shaped by her personal values and thoughtful decision-making. Her development reflects Adler’s six key concepts: beginning with feelings of inferiority triggered by societal limitations about her role, she then strives for superiority through disguise and persistent effort, guided by fictional finalism. Her creative power of the self emerges in the deliberate choices she makes to stay true to her beliefs, and her style of life is reflected in how she faces challenges with courage, discipline, persistence, and loyalty. Eventually, she demonstrates social interest by protecting her family and country while living authentically. This research concludes that meaningful personal growth is possible when individuals live truthfully, overcome both internal and external limitations, and contribute purposefully to society.
