"Dr. C. G. Jung Visits The House of Mirth"
Dr. Ali H. Abureesh
Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905) presents psychological disintegration in the characterization of the novel’s beautiful heroine Miss Lily Bart. This paper applies a Jungian analysis to study the causes and effects of Lily Bart’s psychological disintegration. It divides these causes and effects according to Jungian archetypes and motifs. Through such divisions, the paper reveals Lily’s inability to achieve self-realization; and how this inability gradually brings her fatal end. To demonstrate this, Lily’s use of her persona/shadow, the mother archetype and its effect on Lily, and the child motif and its connection with past are scrutinized in depth.
