| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT When writing a character and forming its personality, authors prove that art is often a conscious or an unconscious expression of the logical associations that his/her mind makes between the premises and the consequences that s/he observes in the society. Therefore, the present study addresses the psychological plight of two female protagonists in two novels “We have Always Lived in the Castle” by Shirley Jackson and “Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys, as study samples to examine and understand the grounds behind the state of madness that the female writers emphasized in the two characters. To achieve this, a deep analysis is conducted using the theoretical basis of Carl Jung’s Modal of Psyche. This research; thus, suggests a range of hypotheses. The first states that the two protagonists underwent similar psychological distress due to their imbalanced psyche. In addition, the reason behind that distress is their traumatic childhood and societal norms that restricted a healthy individuation. Rhys and Jackson’s narratives with the help of Jung’s science expose how the individuation process of the human self takes place by balancing multiple components of the psyche that get disintegrated through various events in their lives. | en_US |
