The contribution of Freud’s structural model of the mind to the understanding of the personality of Ambrosio: The main character of the Gothic novel, The Monk

Abstract

Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic hypotheses may be valuable for analyzing scholarly works since the commitment of therapy to writing gives valuable interpretive bits of knowledge. Perusing books, lyrics and other works through the focal point of therapy gives the opportunity to analyze and assess these works in their beginning and work. The Gothic novel gives numerous components such as fear, duality, mishandle of control and allurement that can be translated agreeing to the Freudian show of scholarly feedback. In this paper, the character of Ambrosio, the fundamental character in the Minister Gothic novel, is examined by reference to Freud's speculations related to the auxiliary or tripartite structure of the intellect that envisions the soul separated into three parts: character, self-image, and enormity. -Childishness. For this reason, a basic investigation of the content of the novel was carried out to distinguish all those components (behavior, states of mind, passionate responses, considerations and truisms) related with Ambrosio that may clarify the covered up perspectives of his identity and, in addition, clarify the reasons for his ethical debauchery.
