Carl Gustav Jung Carl Jung challenged his mentor Freud with the hypothesis that adulthood not childhood represents the most significant phase of psychological growth. He believed that a sense of self does not even become established until adolescents. At this stage of life societal prohibitions and limitations are imposed‚ challenged‚ obeyed and internalised.

Of all the novels and critical speculations that debate the philosophy of the individual versus society‚ none are more profound and insightful than Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener‚” A fantastic short story depicting the life of a law copyist who simply preferred not to conform to society.

There was a time when Carl Jung was greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud. Indeed‚ their seemingly paternal relationship developed over several years and at one point‚ he was heir apparent to Psychoanalysis.

Analysis"Benito Cereno" is‚ like "Bartleby the Scrivener‚" one of Melville’s most hotly debated short stories. But unlike "Bartleby‚" where interpretation of the story’s essential meaning is the main area of interest‚ "Benito Cereno" owes much of its popularity among literary critics to its subject matter: slavery. "Benito" is Melville’s only work of fiction that deals directly with slavery. Therefore‚ it is bothersome to Melville scholars that the story is so maddeningly enigmatic. As critic Warner

Carl Gustav Jung was born July 26‚ 1875 in Switzerland. He came from a troubled household which I believe contributed to his interest in psychology.

Closely related is the personal unconscious‚ which includes anything that is not presently conscious‚ but can be. The personal unconscious is like most people’s understanding of the unconscious in that it includes both memories that are easily brought to mind and those that have been suppressed for some reason.

Melville also employs walls as not only physical barriers‚ but as mental barriers‚ eventually diminishing bartleby to simply existing. The story begins by the narrator stating “I am a rather
