Abstract

TThe theory of hierarchy of needs developed by Abraham Harold Maslow consists of
fve levels of needs, namely at the lowest level of physiological needs, the second level
of safety needs, the third level of love and belonging needs, the fourth level of esteem
needs and the highest need is the need for self-actualization. Maslow describes humans
as creatures that have never been in a state of satisfaction. If a need has been satisfed,
then other needs will appear demanding satisfaction, and so on. This study analyzes the
main character, Yossarian, in Joseph Heller's Catch-22 novel, which is then related to
the hierarchy of Yossarian needs. From the results of the analysis it can be seen that
physiological needs can be met properly, while the needs for safety are not at all obtained
by Yossarian. As a result of not meeting the needs of the second level, the needs of the
third to ffth level cannot be fulflled properly
