A study of "young goodman brown" by nathaniel hawthorn in the light of freudian psychology theory

Abstract

Freud depicted mechanism of human psyche base on unconsciousness full of fact about dream dependency rooted in childhood. He maintained, mental disorders accompanied with traumatic backgrounds. "Freud regarded people as being masters of self deception" (Gill, 2006:407). He used the keyword "unconsciousness" for mental activity as an "active at a certain time, although at that time we knew nothing about it"(Guerin, Labor, Morgan, Rees man and Willingham, 2005:155). He divided the mental potentiality of psyche in three sides and sizes: the id, the ego and the superego. Nearly the full part of psyche is unconscious, a work field for two other parts. Id is source of wild wit and desire "The basic energies and impulses he called the id"(Gill, 2006:407).
