- Title
Representing the History through Trauma: A Comparative Study.
- Authors
Singh, Jitendra Kumar
- Abstract
The representation of trauma in the literary hemisphere constitutes the individual and social desires which are to be hard to express. It represents the unconscious output of the emotion which are suppressed due to social structure. The scholars, therefore, try to decode their inner sense through the use of language. Such representation can be seen in Melville and Dostoevsky's simultaneous articulation in Moby Dick and Notes from Underground respectively. We have seen that both have represented the past through their construction of the linguistic approaches in their works. The reason of such representation was their hidden instincts which they could not initiate in society. Melville and Dostoevsky have undergone the trauma caused by emerging unrest due to growing civilization of their countries respectively. This paper aims to find out how these authors have recalled the past through the representation of the trauma in their literary works. While seeking the objective of the paper, the linguistic approaches of various critics and theorists would be negotiated to develop the hypothesis.
