| dc.description.abstract | This thesis focusses on the development of the protagonist’s ID, superego and ego throughout Harper Lee’s novels To Kill a Mockingbird (1960) and Go Set a Watchman (2015). By using a psychoanalytical perspective the major relationships and influences on the protagonist’s ID, superego, and ego are analyzed which highlights the struggles between finding a balance between desires and reality. Both novels indicate a path that includes the development of coping mechanisms and repression that illustrate a protagonist’s road towards acceptance of one’s ego. The results show that a distinction between To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman in terms of the protagonists development in different stages within the ID, superego and ego. The father of the protagonist shows differences between the two novels. In To Kill a Mockingbird he had a major influence in the protagonist’s development, whereas he barely had any influence in Go Set a Watchman. | en_US |
