Love Constellations to Loss Configurations for self-actualization: A Psychoanalytical novel study of Anjali Joseph’s Saraswati Park

Abstract

Despite an unprocessed approach towards identity, the word Identity tangles itself in such a heavyweight question where the known fails to answer the unknown ideology of the human nature. Ever since humans have awareness of his/her own self, that took leaps and bounds on the insightful strides towards the affinity transformation because identity is rapidly changing and restoring its genres to its roots. There has been an ongoing and never ending research on the multitudes nature of human and it looks like man is endeavoring to achieve the unattainably attainable. Identity as comprehended is the drive which springs, shaping at every stage of one’s life. The quest of self means disassociation and disassociation is a coping mechanism where a person literally disassociates himself from the self who mirrors in diversified shades and modes. As an individual it may spark a lot of effort to navigate through this questioning the self but the same question when broadened on a higher plane as disassociation unplugs us from ourselves, interfering with the identity formation through development. Recovery of the self starts with recognition, moving towards more connected identities.
