Abstract

Using a psychoanalytical approach, this paper studies Fyodor Dostoyevsky’, s The Double to have a better understanding of the main character’, s inner forces and subconscious motives. Goliadkin, the main character, is a government clerk who gradually separates from reality. The argument in this paper is based on Sigmund Freud’, s theory of Drives. An important cause of the main character’, s disruption of identity can be figured out through Freud’, s explanation about the two primary life and death Drives which control every individual’, s psychic apparatus. The paper discusses the ways in which life Drive influences Goliadkin’, s strategies for survival and how his feelings of insufficiency cause the death Drive to thrive,consequently, the creation of an aggressive double follows. Next, the paper draws on Freud’, s theory of Oedipus complex to discuss the protagonist’, s dualistic tendencies, his abnormal way of dealing with social circumstances and his fantasies about love. Finally, Goliadkin’, s behavior and thoughts are psychoanalytically studied according to the symptoms of melancholia.
