초록
This paper aims to investigate the (early) childhood trauma and the division of personality shown in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722). Through the dual lens of the theory of structural dissociation of personality and adoption studies, Moll Flander’s autobiographical narrative is explored as that of an adoptee and childhood trauma survivor. Moll’s autobiographical narrative excludes her (early) childhood traumatic memories of being relinquished as a baby and (presumable) child abuse, which signifies loss in the memory of her apparently normal personality, ANP. The parts of Moll’s personality that are positioned within her past as a ‘poor desolate girl without help’ engender the abandoning birthmother and her own life as thief, both of which are constructs of her emotional personality, EPs. This study delves into unearthing Moll’s EPs--which demand due acknowledgement as well as consolation—enabling her to relive traumatic experiences that haunt her ANP. The analysis pinpoints sites of conflict where the divided parts of Moll’s personality contend before they can be integrated into a unified personality.
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the (early) childhood trauma and the division of personality shown in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722). Through the dual lens of the theory of structural dissociation of personality and adoption studies, Moll Flander’s autobiographical narrative is explored as that of an adoptee and childhood trauma survivor. Moll’s autobiographical narrative excludes her (early) childhood traumatic memories of being relinquished as a baby and (presumable) child abuse, which signifies loss in the memory of her apparently normal personality, ANP. The parts of Moll’s personality that are positioned within her past as a ‘poor desolate girl without help’ engender the abandoning birthmother and her own life as thief, both of which are constructs of her emotional personality, EPs. This study delves into unearthing Moll’s EPs--which demand due acknowledgement as well as consolation—enabling her to relive traumatic experiences that haunt her ANP. The analysis pinpoints sites of conflict where the divided parts of Moll’s personality contend before they can be integrated into a unified personality.
