- Authors
Kumar, Pardeep
- Abstract
With regard to the institution of marriage most of the deep psychologists gives significance to the role of unconscious part of mind. Whether an individual engages in a marriage with his/her conscious decision, the working of certain patterns embedded in unconscious part of mind remains unquestionable. Unconscious part of the mind remains the precursor with regard to the institution of marriage across the world. In this paper, therefore, an attempt has been made to view the process of individuation specifically by looking at the transformation and evolution of the couple Aru and Rohit in the novel in point. The concepts of'Love and Marriage'from Joseph Campbell's book The Power of Myth, Carl G. Jung's concept of marriage as a 'Psychological Relationship', M. L. Von Franz's theory of 'Individuation' and Rashna Imshaly Gandhy's ideas about individuation through marriage have been applied for unraveling the working of human mind especially the unconscious part of it with regard to the matrimonial affairs.
