This qualitative study used moral approach because its review material is intrinsic aspect of a literature works related to values. While the analysis technique used content analysis because it tried to disclose, understand, and catch the massage beneath the literature work. While the “knite” used to cut and disentangle its values is deconstruction. Deconstruction is an idea which strive to cope the world view which has been boxed all along within a normative understanding that this world consists of two opposing elements, such as rational-irrational, traditional- modern, logic-illogic, good-bad, man-women, and so on. Then deconstruction tries to look for gaps or alternatives between the two opposing elements. Thus, deconstruction is not always extreme in its meaning: confirm or nullify.

This study discusses the psychological aspects of the main character. The purpose of the study is to explain the understanding and details in depth about the personality and emotional classification of the main character. This is a descriptive qualitative study. The approach used is literary psychology. The documentation technique by means of reading and taking notes is used to obtain data from Hamka's novelette entitled “Waiting for the Sounding”. The content analysis technique is used in this study to find information and in-depth understanding of the data collected. Data validation uses theory triangulation. The results and discussion show that Mr. Sharif's personality is influenced by the id, the ego, and the superego. Mr. Sharif in the novelette is described as having a lonely character and suffering from the life he lived. He worked as a Dutch employee in order to escape the misery of the colonial period at that time. Therefore, it seems that Mr. Sharif’s various emotions demonstrate a form of conflict both with oneself (internal conflict) in the form of regret and feelings of guilt and with the environment (external conflict) in the form of love, envy and hate, and loneliness
