The creative efforts to think outside the box by exploring the unfamiliar zone like what Briony had done can be a real solution to actualize higher self-civilization that supposed to be coherent with the technological development itself. Even though it was contrary to the norm value, it can be stated as a brilliant option but also can be judged as a reckless way to solve every misconception that intended to understand the realities itself. The brave of Briony to face the jouissance of transgression (the transgression of pleasure) has led her to find out a surplus jouissance or agalma or objet a petite or the Real or The Real Intact Identity. The setting of social context also exists in this film, viz, high social class and WWII. Based on the context of time and space on each series of details scene, the settings in this film are divided into 2 parts that are concluded as follows: before and after the misjudgment of Briony Tallis. The internal conflict experienced by Briony was reflected when she must interpret the realities during her life that were significantly depended on her capacity and also the quality of understanding to decide the proper action that will be chosen at that moment. Her conflict against Robbie and Cecilia is a kind of external conflict that can be stated as the main conflict in her life path. As the main subject of this analysis, she also experiences some external and internal conflicts during her lifetime. The existence of Jacques Lacan's theories helps the researcher find the truth Atonement that is not only intended as a medium to atone her past mistaken judgment but also inclined to reveal the real deepest desire of her existences, viz, as a great and also wise writer. Through the revelation of her autobiographical novel, Briony became a kind of wise person at her elderly phase. By using the structural approach, it is found that during her early phase, she grows up with some crucial characteristic such as enthusiastic, curious, selfish, and naive. In conducting the research, descriptive qualitative method was used to find the Real in Briony’s psyche. The Real Intact Identity of Briony Tallis in Joe Wright’s Film Atonement is the title of this thesis that is aimed at revealing The Real Intact Identity of Briony Tallis, the main subject of this research. Although Briony, Robbie and Cecilia are frequently due to change, they are not the decision makers, but rather they are decided for. In other words, they are not the creators but rather they have been created. This relational aspect of subjectivity suggests that the characters have little or no influence in determining their identity. The analysis of the case study showed that the subjectivity of the characters of Atonement is in the process of ever changing and becoming. Using the concepts of the ideal ego and the ego ideal, this study strives to reveal the original reasons of Cecilia and Briony's narcissism and their craving for controlling the lives of the others. The paper goes through the exploring the process of ego formation toward the issue of the subject formation. In this regard psychological growth of them is elucidated via Lacanian triplet orders. Therefore, the central objective of this research is to demonstrate the affinity between the Symbolic Order, in which the Briony and Cecilia are positioned, and their subjectivity. The novel depicts the need to atone for the really horrific thing Briony Tallis, the thirteen-year old protagonist, did when she was a kid that is accusing her sister's lover, Robbie, of rape and ruining their lives. The study investigated Ian McEwan's Atonement (2001) in terms of the Lacanian concepts of Subjectivity, Desire and the Symbolic.
