| description | This thesis discusses Poe�s incestous desire in his representative short stories,
Ligeia, Morella, The Black Cat, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Sigmund
Freud�s investigation into human primal fear and desire provides abundant
theoretical background for psychoanalysts, such as Joseph Wood Krutch and
Marie Bonaparte, to explore the neurotic characters in Poe�s tales. Poe�s
characters unconsciously dominated by incestous desire and castration fear
basically reflect his own incestous desire. An obsession with incestous desire and
castration fear brings about a destructive instinct, also termed by Freud as
aggressiveness, and finally becomes a death instinct.
Employing Freud�s Totem and Taboo and method of narrative biography, which
seeks to explore various pieces of a significant time in a person's life through a
particular perspective presented in many documents. The time span of one's life
can be explored from a special point of view with a view to providing a more
complete picture of given person. The writer examines the origin of horror,
explaining that horror, about primal incest desire and primal castration, is
universal to all human beings.
This research found that Poe�s primal desire is his incestuous desire for Mother,
who may merge with a variety of images, including a foster mother and a sister.
The search for a maternal figure brings the obsession with incest desire. The
mother fixation is perfectly rendered in Poe�s Ligeia and Morella. Both of the
stories depict how the maternal image attracts the narrators and how the narrators�
psychological state changes from love to fear and then to hate. Being castrated
would undoubtedly be the most terrifying punishment for the deadly sin�incest.
However, a neurotic person may unconsciously ask for the punishment
simultaneously when he commits the deadly sin of incest. That is, he may be
driven unconsciously by his death instinct, as illustrated by Poe in The Black Cat
and The Fall of the House of Usher. Poe�s tales reflect his unconscious desire and
fear. His early experiences and development in life should be taken into account
that ensures a better understanding of Poe�s tales, onto which, as Krutch and
Bonaparte believe, Poe projects his unconscious incestous desire, castration fear,
and death instincts. |
