Opis

In a world of neurotics and schizophrenics,the author of this book introduces the works of Shirley Jackson with a new vision. This study represents the images of the fallen world in Jackson's fiction through her persistent use of psychological horror paraphernalia. Mob psychology, hallucinations, schizophrenia, the uncanny, and Gothic feminism are all present in her fiction.The three works analyzed;The Lottery, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and The Haunting of Hill House are insufficiently treated by critics and reviewers as psychological horror works.Here,it is attempted to introduce these works to a new genre, turning them out from the categories of violence and ghost stories into neurotic literature and psychological horror that successfully reflect the fallen world we live in. In The Lottery, the world falls in the Freudian struggle between human aggression and civilization.In The Castle it falls when the child loses the desire to identify with the parents and suffer psychological disturbances,and it falls in moments of extreme pressure when physical pain vanishes and man creates an imaginary vision through which death becomes the inevitable end as in The Haunting.
