Abstract: | The research explores the influence of Freudian psychoanalysis in Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. It studies the dream screen of the protagonist, Binx Bolling in which he shows strange kind of abnormal activities. Obsessed with the lack, i.e. the lack of mother, he indulges himself in different activities like recollecting the past events, frequently going to the movies, and always seeking the company of women. He directs himself to "the search" about which he himself doesn't know. He always sees the present in relation with the past and always desires to go to the past. In the name of search he is escaping from the world. Finally he comes to realize that the past is unachievable and decides to go with 'everydayness', the present. |
