The Picture Of Dorian Gray
821 wordsThe myth of Narcissus is a good illustration of the damage that total self love can do to a person. There is a misconception about narcissistic people. This confusion is the belief that narcissistic people are in love with themselves, but according to the DSM lll criteria published in 1989, the narcissus is not in love with himself, but in fact in love with his reflection. This does not mean that a narcissus has no love for others, but it is miss-directed love. They get their love identity from ...

Discussed In Class P 63
582 wordsIs our negative branding of narcissism a defense against a demanding call of the soul to be loved? Narcissism is the egotistic sense of self-importance, but paradoxically underneath this attitude, the narcissist is simply a victim of a fragile low self-esteem. It is the underlying sense of inferiority that is the real problem of the narcissist, and their pretense is just a disguise used to cover their deeper feelings of inadequacy. Since narcissists are often incapable of asserting genuine self-...

Death Of A Salesman Tragic Hero
2,734 wordsAbstract: The sober treatment of a lowly, unheroic protagonist in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman flatters the audience. The more obvious way that it flatters us is by alienating us from the protagonist in his downfall so that we watch his destruction from a secure vantage. Less obviously, the form of the play, typical of modern American tragedy, romanticizes the protagonist through what I call the audience's paradox, that tension created when a serious work of literature employs an obscure ...

Number Of Children Parts Of The World
1,561 wordster> Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites There are some grounds to assume that a cognitive dissonance is involved in feeling that children are more a satisfaction than a nuisance.

Put differently, when one is hungry - one is less prone to read Mr. Lasch, less inclined to think about civil rights, let alone exercise them. Mr. Lasch is authoritarian and patronizing, even when he is strongly trying to convince us otherwise. The use of the phrase: "far in excess of their needs" rings of destructive envy. Worse, it rings of a dictatorship, a negation of individualism, a restriction of civil liberties, an in...

For example, Brad Pitt in Fight Club is the object of the gaze; he brings satisfaction to the female viewer and male viewers who see themselves as him. From the point of view of psychoanalysis, the female figure is presented in images as a lack of phallus. She represents the castration threat. Although men enjoy looking at the fe...

Physical And Mental Ted Bundy
1,159 wordsTed Bundy (1) When we discuss serial killers, it is often impossible to suggest that social factors alone were behind forming their anti-social attitudes.

There is strong evidence, which suggests that Bundy was being conceived as the result of incest between his mother and his grandfather Samuel Cowell. It is well known fact that that reason why traditional societies do not tolerate incest is ...
