Psychoanalytic lens #1

I chose the psychoanalytic lens as the critical lens for this project, because I want to go more into depth on the why the characters act a certain way. The psychoanalytic lens goes into the characters actions based off of their inner thoughts; such as their unconscious thoughts. This can include their desires and the certain defenses they have. These unconscious thoughts, desires, and defenses determine how the character acts and reacts to certain situations. Also through this lens I will be analyzing the Id (the subconscious), the ego (the conscious), and the superego (the decision making part of the brain). This lens interests me more than the others, because I would like to know why certain characters act a certain way. I have not had much experience with topics that are covered by this lens, but I do know the general overview and it was basically curiosity that caused me to want to go through this lens. Another lens I considered going into was the feminist lens, because in that time period women did not have that many rights, so it would have been interesting to compare it to a modern day situation. I am hoping to be able to go deeper into the book and actually possibly enjoy it, because I will be looking at it through a lens that I am actually interested in.
