Contexts for Mrs. Dalloway

Freud, “Mourning and Melancholia” (1917)Mourning and Melancholia Mourning  [T]he reaction of the loss of a loved person, or to the loss of some abstraction which has taken the place of one, such as one’s country, liberty, and ideal, and so on” (243).  Symptoms—apart from decreased self-esteem—same as melancholia  As with melancholia, involves denial of loss and intense remembering of loved object.  Prolonged clinging to lost object, but eventually “respect for reality gains the day” (244), one recognizes loss and can emotionally attach to new object.  “When the work of mourning is completed, the ego becomes free and uninhibited again” (245). Melancholia  Same cause as mourning.  Symptoms include (244): “profoundly painful dejection,” “cessation of interest in the outside world,” “loss of the capacity to love,” “inhibition of all activity,” and decrease of self-esteem, tendency to self reproach which can “culminate in a delusional expectation of punishment” (244). “The patient presents his ego... as worthless, incapable of any achievement, and morally despicable...” (246).  Melancholic may not consciously perceive full extent of what has been lost.  Melancholic incorporates lost object into own ego. Self-accusations may actually apply to lost object.
