The Psychoanalytic Thuoght In Emile Zola's Naturalistic Novels

The aim of this thesis is to find and discuss the psychoanalytic thought in Emile Zola's Naturalistic novels.In Le Roman Experimental,Zola explained his Naturalism literature theory in a completely thorough way . He declared that he only aimed for doing some psychology research in his naturalistic novels. He strongly pointed out that the psychology was nothing but some kind of an intellectual game if without the scientific knowledge of biology or heredity. This idea was quite similar with the theory of the contemporary French pathological psychology,which was not understood seriously by the comtemporary public either.With the psychological knowledge which he learned from some famous biologists and doctors,Zola did a special psychological analysis in his novels. And,amazingly,his analysis appeared in a psychoanalytic way.Zola told that his main purpose of the serial Rougon-Macquart Family lied on the study of different symptoms of neurosis and its cause deep inside. This is exactly too,on what Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis is built on.
