CRITICAL APPROACHES FOR INTERPRETING LITERATURE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES

Freudian Psychology Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) We repress our true desires, fears or impulses in order to fit into society. These remain in our unconscious or subconscious mind—below the surface. We then unconsciously act or speak due to those unconscious feelings. Cognitive psychology today still sees the link between our conscious thoughts and outward behavior or language.

What is Psychological Criticism? “Freud’s theories inform much psychological literary criticism, so explorations of characters’ subconscious motivations, defenses, inner conflicts and symbolic acts are commonplace . . . .” “Sometimes critics . . . analyze the author in their search for meaning . . .” (McMahan, Day & Funk 1178).

How do you psychoanalyze? Notice behavior & actions What did the character do? Focus on words What did the character say? Look for changes in the character What did he/she used to be like? What is different? Consider the situation What did the character react to? What happened to make him/her change?
