Abstract

This research attempts to figure out the development of neurosis in Joan Elizabeth Delacourt’s case, the leading character of Margaret Atwood’s Lady Oracle. It applies Karen Horney’s theory of neurosis as the basis to determine whether the main character of the novel is adequately portrayed as a neurotic person. This research focuses on four basic elements of neurosis: basic anxiety and hostility, neurotic trends, neurotic conflict, and idealized image. It begins with the analysis of Joan’s childhood and teenage experiences which are believed to be the primary step of her basic anxiety and hostility formation. The next part is Joan’s neurotic trends development which will be analyzed at the moment when she finally met her future husband, Arthur. Accordingly, neurotic conflict and idealized image appear to complete the evidences that Joan is a neurotic.

Abstract

This research discusses Hannah Peace’s suicide by exploring her past life, from her childhood until she decides to commit suicide. This research aims to find core issues faced by her and what triggers her to commit suicide. Psychoanalysis theories and theory of suicide proposed by Shneidman are applied in this research. The results show that her suicide is caused by psychological pain which stems from many painful experiences in her past life. After exploring her distressing experiences, it can be said that Hannah faces two core issues, which are fear of abandonment and fear of intimacy. However, her suicide is not merely caused by psychological pain. There are two factors which lead to her suicide: intrapsychic and interpersonal factors. Intrapsychic factor refers to the internal psychological processes of an individual, while interpersonal factor refers to the relationship between an individual and other people.
