The psychoanalytic lens is more interesting to me than any other lens because I really feel as though this is an area of study that I want to keep learning about. My previous experience with this is that I have taken a psychology class both at Summit and at a community college; and when I did I wanted to keep learning more about why people do/say the things they do. When reading I will want to keep in mind the ego, id and superego, because I feel that these will help explain the reactions the characters display afterwards. I do believe that sometimes so many things happen that when we say things, down below we say/do it for a reason, that we may not realize right then. I have considered other lenses, but they did not bring about the same amount that the psychoanalytic brought to me. By the end of this project I hope to get out a better understanding of what happened in the story the importance of the interactions between characters.
Psychology is an awesome topic to study in college! Since a lot of people in this blog are analyzing Beloved through the psychoanalytic lens, it would be good practice for us to compare our ideas. I appreciate your interest for the id, ego and superego.
ReplyDeleteLearning about psychology seems fun to learn about! I hope I am able to read more about your blog! :D
ReplyDeleteI think that this topic will be very interesting because it will help us to gain further explanations for the actions of the characters. I did not pick this lens, but I think this lens will be very useful to understanding this book. Also, I think that your past knowledge from psychology expeditions will come in handy when analyzing the book through this lens.
