‘It biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder’: female rivalry in Caroline Lee Hentz’s novellas

ABSTRACT Nineteenth-century literature often depicts women as rivals, a phenomenon Virginia Woolf attributes in ‘A Room of One's Own' to the male-dominated nature of literature up until the twentieth century. This led to women being defined in relation to men. Feminist critics often reject female competitiveness as it challenges the collective effort to contest patriarchal control, focusing instead on female friendship. However, there is a lack of critical exploration into rivalry among female characters in nineteenth-century literature by nineteenth-century female novelists, particularly regarding overt spite or ill will. This article addresses this gap by examining poisonous relationships among female friends and siblings in novellas by Caroline Lee Hentz. Drawing from Freud's theories on female sexuality, critiques by feminist scholars like Janice Raymond, and Sianne Ngai’s studies on negative affects, the study uncovers the origins and often-tragic outcomes of toxic relationships among women. It contextualizes these themes using biblical imagery from Psalm 140:1-3, which depicts metaphorical venom resonating with jealousy and treachery in nineteenth-century literature. Additionally, this analysis highlights societal barriers in the judgmental Victorian society that hindered the establishment of genuine relationships among women.

The Changing Process of Adolescents' Self-Independence Consciousness: From the Perspective of David Hume's Human Nature Theory and Freud's Psychodynamic Theory

During the mental development of contemporary teenagers, due to the influence of their own growth and the environment, many parts have more or less mental illness, which is obvious and recessive, but it is a part that needs attention in the process of understanding themselves. The emergence of self-consciousness is not a simple transfer of the object and content of consciousness, but a new stage of psychological development, which is the result of human socialization and one of the special forms of higher psychological activities. We do not know enough about other sources of adolescent consciousness, so it is worth considering carefully when the subject we propose produces consciousness rather than memory traces. The ideas that are active during adolescence will be more pronounced, and this situation will be closer to what the superego wants the individual to feel.

A Brief Analysis of the Symbolic Significance and Cultural Continuity of Qiang Horn Flower Pattern

Based on Freud's theory, this paper discusses the symbolism of the Qiang horn flower pattern in Chinese Qiang embroidery and cultural continuity. The Qiang horn flower pattern is an iconic cultural symbol of the Chinese Qiang people's worship of nature, their hopes for life ideals and their desire for their life reproduction, which is in line with Freud's theory of life instinct. In Chinese Qiang embroidery, the crochet Qiang horn flower pattern is a symbol of the Qiang culture, an expression of deep knowledge of nature and humanism. During the evolution of the times, the Qiang people have skillfully applied the theory of defence mechanism proposed by Freud, and through personalized and modernized artistic innovation, made the embroidery pattern of the Chinese Qiang people realize the sublimation and regeneration on the basis of maintaining the traditional symbols. Faced with modern cultural influences, the Qiang horn flower pattern in Chinese embroidery shows a strong psychological defence mechanism and cultural regenerative ability, so that the Qiang cultural genes can be expanded and inherited with the changing times. The research of this paper not only reveals the profound symbolic meaning and psychodynamic display of Qiang horn flower pattern in Chinese embroidery, but also shows its indispensable core status and lasting influence in Chinese Qiang cultural vein, providing some theoretical insights and practical revelations for research on intangible cultural heritage protection and inheritance.

The outsider phenomenon and the need to belong.

The outsider phenomenon is an existential pathology interrelated with the need to belong. It is a group related experience that has developmental foundations. W. R. D. Fairbairn (1952), was one of the first psychoanalysts who systematically challenged Freudian theory, and located the human experience within social relationships. Fairbairn (1935) suggested that the family is the first social group, leading to affiliations with important groups external to the family. This paper extrapolates from Fairbairn's ideas about schizoid character, which is an interpersonal experience, to group experiences in a family and with identity groups. Fairbairn's notions about the unavoidable activation of schizoid processes may help us understand what makes the outsider experience so pervasive.

Monarchy and Politics of Detention in Taher Ben Jalloun's “This Blinding Absence of Light”

Tahar Ben Jelloun's novels are distinguished by their integration of problematic social phenomena into a purely literary form. While this isn't unique to Ben Jelloun's writing style, the author's way of crafting thought-provoking and often revolutionary experimental stories from the material of traditional Moroccan life is, at least in a way extraordinary: his characters experience social difficulties and embarrassments in their lives through the metaphor of a fictional existence of their self-perception. Thus, for example, their search for identity in their social context manifests in their search for self-perception as fictional characters and power struggles in relationships. Their relationship takes the form of a battle for control of the story. Political prisoners associate writing with their quest for freedom. This article therefore focuses on the torture, body and voice representations of Taher Ben Jelloun's This Blinding Absence of Light (2002). Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory will be used to approach the psychological disintegration of characters in the text following such a Dark Decade experience and will borrow eclectic concepts from interdisciplinary studies; Erving's concept of Goffman's "holistic institution", Elaine Scarry's comprehensive and detailed theoretical definition and analysis of torture, and Judith Herman's study of trauma.
