Title Literary Work and The Mind: Approaching Psychoanalytical Theory
 
Creator Sharma, Veena
 
Subject Literary work, the mind, psychoanalytic literary criticism
 
Description Literary criticism is about literary creations or works of art and psychoanalysis is about minds. The only way by which one can know a work of art is through one’s own analytical mind, through some human process of perception, or through some other person's interpretation about it. This means that there is a psychological component to any understanding about the literary works. The present study analyzes that how a reader perceives the world of literary creations and the world around him/her and how he/she responds when entering the obsessional, the escapist, the oral or the autobiographical world with its overwhelming rage and desire, of any writer. The focus is also on a reader shaping and changing those worlds to fit in his/her own characteristic patterns of fantasy and defense. It is also analyzed that how the presence of an element of personality in a critic moulds his role in conveying meaning to the reader.
