This research aims to look at the process of achieving aspects of the hierarchy of needs in the character Iyan in the novel Iyan Bukan Anak Tengah by Armaraher. This research looks at how the character can fulfill aspects of the hierarchy of needs to achieve self-actualization. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method, by analyzing words and sentences of text using Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Need theory. The results of this research show that the character Riyan did not fulfill the hierarchy of needs aspect during his teenage years so that the character Ian did not obtain self-actualization during adolescence, but the character Riyan fulfilled the aspect of the hierarchy of needs in adulthood, thus obtaining self-actualization during the character's adulthood.
