A Psychoanalytical Study of the Characters of “Esmond in India” A Novel by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (Cultural Cross Currents & Creative Tension Book 2)
In this captivating second installment of the “Cultural Cross Currents” series, the author delves deeper into the complexities of cultural clashes and their impact on individuals. Building on the foundation laid in the first book, “Cultural Cross Currents and Dysfunctionality,” this sequel takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the realms of creative tension.
The initial book focused on the dysfunctionalities arising from the clash of cultures in post-independence India, using Freud’s Psychoanalysis to dissect characters from Ruth Jhabvala’s novel, “Esmond in India.” Continuing in the same vein, this second book extends the Freudian approach while introducing Jung’s Anima-Animus concepts for a comprehensive analysis of characters from Jhabvala’s novels, “A Backward Place” (1965) and “A New Dominion” (1972).
The author skillfully explores how the blind imitation of cultures, particularly the impact of Westernization on Indian society, creates tension between intersecting paths of Indian and Western individuals. Through case studies and analytical scrutiny, readers are taken on a literary journey that unravels the positive and negative impacts of cross-cultural phenomena, shedding light on the thin line between dysfunctionalities and creativity.
If you’re a fan of deep cultural analyses, psychological explorations, and insightful literary critiques, “Cultural Cross Currents and Removal of Dysfunctionalities” is a must-read. The author’s adept use of psychoanalytical frameworks and engaging storytelling makes this book a valuable addition to the series.
