Exploring the unconscious in literature, this book employs Freudian and Lacanian psychological theories to analyze various literary works. It delves into how these psychological frameworks illuminate deeper meanings and themes within texts, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between literature and the unconscious mind. Through this lens, readers gain insights into character motivations and narrative structures, enhancing their understanding of the literary landscape.

This book aims to revise the traditional interpretation of William Golding’s fiction. The author investigates Golding’s complicated metaphors which fluctuate so widely as to make consistent readings almost impossible. The study reveals that these fluctuating metaphors are created around a void, which is depicted not only as a gap but also as an impenetrable dark spot, or a counter-gaze. The characters in Golding’s fiction endeavour to symbolise the void, but it ultimately resists symbolisation. Mainly from the perspective of semiotics, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, the book looks at the way in which the elements excluded from the symbolic system react against it and leave this void. The author then focuses on the void’s significance in the creation of unique metaphors.
