The Interpretation of the Unconscious: From Freud to Lacan

Abstract

Psychoanalysis is the study of the unconscious mind, especially offering new clues to the inner workings of the mind. It began with Sigmund Freud and was later developed in different directions, mostly by Jacques Lacan, known as “the French Freud,” who also studied the inner workings of a language apart from his study of the unconscious mind. This paper, thus, aims to show that human desires are hidden in the works of literature, which are structured like the unconscious mind. In order to identify this process, this paper has taken into account the dream-like process in John Keats’ poem “La Belle Dame sans Merci”.
