Uncovering The Dark Truth: A Psychoanalytic Existentialist Exploration In Rebecca West’s The Return Of The Soldier
Authors : Ameur-said Zakarya .
Abstract
In the convoluted halls of human experience, few events force the soul to face its reality as deeply as trauma. This research paper considers the shadowy lines where existentialism and trauma intersect in the literary world, unveiling that trauma, in its instinctual shape, again and again, sets people on a terrifying journey to understand themselves. Traumatic experiences leave profound uncertainties in the psyche, triggering an anxious quest for meaning in a chaotic reality. Moreover, this study paper suggests that existentialist literature, mainly the modern one, shows how pain disturbs the normal flow of life, forcing characters—and readers—to confront basic existential questions. Thus, this article suggests —through the reading of the British author Rebecca West’s novel The Return of the Soldier (1918)— how pain may help people reclaim their position in the universe, from end to end of a voyage into what it is to be human being amid trauma’s mysterious, terrible, and transforming experiences.
