SUMMARY
A confirmatory analysis of the conduct of selected characters in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park and Pride and Prejudice, and Chimamanda Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus affirms Freud’s and Adler’s theory that early/parental influences and unconscious motivations affect personality development, and also debunks Freud’s claims that moral individuals are psychologically disordered. The crux of this research work has been the exploration and confirmation of some aspects of the psychoanalytical theory. The first two chapters of the paper, demonstrate that the conduct of the characters under study affirm Freud’s claims that intense early/parental influences on the id or superego and unconscious motivations such as the suppression or liberality of the id, and the interactions amongst the components of the tripartite psyche, affect personality development. The paper also confirms Adler’s claims that early/parental influence of negligence produce a disordered personality.
