Peeking into Collective Unconscious through Personal Unconscious: A study of The God of Small Things and The Kite Runner
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Art always reflects artist’s knowledge accumulated in his unconsciousness whether personal or collective and makes the unconscious conscious. Likewise we always carry this collective memory since olden times unconsciously that asserts its intrinsic worth through our conduct, outlook and way of thinking. We are tightly entangled in this web of archetypal patterns that every attempt to liberate from it makes us more knotted. Every one follows these patterns of accepted wisdom blindly and unknowingly; “Because history isn’t easy to overcome” (Hosseini, 22). Thus we construct our beliefs, social norms, cultures and ideologies obeying these universal prototypes. My paper endeavours to employ Carl G Jung’s theory of unconsciousness on two novels; The God of Small Things and The Kite Runner.
