My intent in this paper is to present a psychoanalytical reading of Thomas Carlyle’s Herr Diogenes Teufelsdrӧckh in Sartor Resartus. This work is deeply rooted in the post-industrial revolution era which raises the controversial issue of Man’s quest for identity. Teufelsdrӧckh’s identity is affected by the various phases of the Victorian society. Succinctly, after undergoing an experience of a failed love with Blumine, the protagonist becomes a lost soul. His distress brings him to a wide domain of discomfort and deep reflections upon Man’s existence. Being launched into a journey marked by hopelessness and unbelief, he discovers that since the ancient times, big cities and high towers have been symbols of Man’s purposeful work. This psychological metamorphosis can be read from a Freudian perspective. The Carlylean protagonist “represses” his emotional energy and re¬directs it into a more fruitful work that is likely to be everlasting. This self-suppression is a path towards self-knowledge. In times of psychological confrontation, the character’s unyielding defiance generates a sublime feeling in the certainty of his self. His conscience about his capacities makes him grasp the essence of an active human life. He becomes ashamed of himself because of the unrequited love that stands against his natural capacity to shape his own destiny. Along his psychological pilgrimage, Teufelsdrӧckh claims that only through hard toil that man can triumph over his inner desires which would help him attain self-assertion. On the whole, the building up of the character foregrounds the pain of a failed love that gives birth to pleasure at work. |
