“Creative writers and daydreams” by Sigmund Freuda. In Creative Writers and Daydreams, Freud proposes that fiction is a realm of wish fulfillment in which the artist, disguised as a hero, is guided by his ego to fulfill unfulfilled desires by means of fantasy. This act is a continuation of childhood play as adults are ashamed of their fantasies and repress them.b. This text represents psychoanalytic criticism. Various hypotheses are linked to the belief that the author's fantasies derive from unsatisfied desires and are an attempt to recover infantile pleasure. Psychoanalysis also states that the purpose of all behavior is the reduction of tension through release, according to hedonistic principles. Psychoanalytic theory interprets the work through the author's psyche. For example, Freud highlights childhood development and totalizes literary production as a hedonistic act conducted by the author as a substitute for childhood play. This interpretation is based on examining the unconscious of the creator and the heroes in the world that grants the creator's wishes.c. Freud establishes a common element: the human desire to alter one's existing and often unsatisfactory or unpleasant reality. All individuals are frustrated in their lives, whether they are non-writers who cannot recover the stimulation of their childhood or individuals who are unhappy in their marriages, etc. Freud disputes that desires, repressed to an unconscious state, emerge in disguised forms: in dreams, in language, in creativity, and in neurotic behavior. We can look for these events in the future to conduct an analysis of the author's repressed desires or fictional characters. An Image of Africa by Chinua Achebe. Achebe states that Heart of Darkn... at the center of the card... mentalizes itself into divisive forces. Feminism is about equality between men and women. Patriarchal societies instill that women must compete with themselves (men make women fight for them, call themselves sluts, etc.) to elevate themselves instead of uniting. This is an example of a common ideology fueling a superstructure: looking for similar cases will broaden analyzes using a feminist lens as Marxism lends itself strongly to the critique of feminism. Lorde's essay is an important contribution to feminist discourse, but it is also important to our fundamental approach to life. Not only feminists, but most social movements and societies try to gloss over the difference. We repeatedly try to “overcome our differences,” to unite “despite our differences.” We must recognize our differences and understand that these are a potential source of creativity and unity in and of themselves.
