Abstract
ABSTRACT
The current study is a psychological analysis which involves the protagonist Madeline
in Nicola Yoon’s Novel “Everything Everythig” (2015). The focus is on studying
Madelin’s character according to Erik Erikson eight stages of personality
development. In this study, two characters impacted and shaped Madeline’s
personality development; her mother Pauline and her lover Olly. From a
psychological standpoint, this dissertation aims to study the effect of social
relationships and clarify long-held notions about whether people actually need others
to develop or if the people surrounding simply push them further from their true
selves. Writers such as Nicola Yoon express themselves via their works and describe
what was happening at their times. In this study, “Everything Everythig” is analyzed
in a psychological reading to point to how social relationships within a community
affect peoples’ personalities. It shows also that interaction within the environment is
important, for higher mental functions develop through social interaction; thus,
development moves from the social level to the individual level
