The Fragmentation Of The Self And Its Relationship With The Other In The Novel: When The Moon Cries By: Suha Jalal Jawdat

Abstract

The novel Travel to Where the Moon Weeps by the Syrian writer: Suha Jalal Jawdat deals with a distinctive issue in the life of the torn and distressed teen, which is the fragmentation of himself and the relationship of communication and split with the other because of the psychological impacts and scars engraved inside her negatively or positively from her family, school and societal milieu.

The writer chose the adolescence stage particularly, because it is the most striking stage in the life of the individual, so how did the external and internal factors impress the formation of a prior self in the novel? How did you deal with the other? What are the types of selves that are fragmented from the overwhelming self because of this?

To find out this, I used in this study the psychological approach that infiltrates into the midsts of the human psyche to uproot its psychological potentials shrouded in the subconscious area, in addition to the two mechanisms of description and analysis.
