초록

This essay attempts to examine some implications of James Joyce’s “A Painful Case” and psychoanalytical. Lacan was a fervent reader of Joyce’s he interested in Joyce’s language. The point I am trying to make is James Duffy’s psychoanalysis through Lacan’s theory which reconstructed Freud’s psychoanalysis. James Duffy is able to stay comfortable with himself as long as he does not actually speak to anyone. however, one will see that his presence there serves to confirm his isolation rather than mitigate it. Duffy does not acknowledge his profound aversion to others because he needs his leisure time to write and because he fancies himself as a disciple of Nietzsche who denounces any adherence to social duties. Lacan’s ‘ideal ego’ is formed as a result of the mirror stage in which the subject mistakes his coherent image for a representation of his unified identity. Duffy’s ideal ego resembles this, but he abhorred anything that related to a physical or mental disorder. When Mrs. Sinico held Duffy’s hand passionately and pressed it against her cheek, he was taken aback. Although they shared similar personality traits, his attack on her is a clear indication of projective identification. Duffy still clings to the ideals ego, but he is suspicious of his actions. Mrs. Sinico’s husband is no longer interested in her but her love is unwanted by Duffy because he is uncomfortable communicating with others as it interrupts his usual life pattern. When the narrator says ‘turned back the way he had come’ that highlights the change from ‘ideals ego’ to ‘ego ideals’. Mr. Duffy restores this myth that he is a lone figure, a closed-circuit corpus of self-serving third-person sentences built upon the corpse of Mrs. Sinico.

Abstract

This essay attempts to examine some implications of James Joyce’s “A Painful Case” and psychoanalytical. Lacan was a fervent reader of Joyce’s he interested in Joyce’s language. The point I am trying to make is James Duffy’s psychoanalysis through Lacan’s theory which reconstructed Freud’s psychoanalysis. James Duffy is able to stay comfortable with himself as long as he does not actually speak to anyone. however, one will see that his presence there serves to confirm his isolation rather than mitigate it. Duffy does not acknowledge his profound aversion to others because he needs his leisure time to write and because he fancies himself as a disciple of Nietzsche who denounces any adherence to social duties. Lacan’s ‘ideal ego’ is formed as a result of the mirror stage in which the subject mistakes his coherent image for a representation of his unified identity. Duffy’s ideal ego resembles this, but he abhorred anything that related to a physical or mental disorder. When Mrs. Sinico held Duffy’s hand passionately and pressed it against her cheek, he was taken aback. Although they shared similar personality traits, his attack on her is a clear indication of projective identification. Duffy still clings to the ideals ego, but he is suspicious of his actions. Mrs. Sinico’s husband is no longer interested in her but her love is unwanted by Duffy because he is uncomfortable communicating with others as it interrupts his usual life pattern. When the narrator says ‘turned back the way he had come’ that highlights the change from ‘ideals ego’ to ‘ego ideals’. Mr. Duffy restores this myth that he is a lone figure, a closed-circuit corpus of self-serving third-person sentences built upon the corpse of Mrs. Sinico.
