Psychology in Modernism

I chose “The use of such structural approaches to experience as psychoanalysis, myth, the symbolic apprehension and comprehension of reality” as my attribute of modernism. In short, this is saying how the action of a character is affeced by their psychology. Many characters, like in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” were greatly affected psychologically. Things such as isolationsim can affect the character, and in Prufrock, he eventually committed suicide. In Elliot’s “The Hollow Man,” you can see how the psychology of the character affects the outcome of the poem.

I hope to play college baseball when i graduate and become a business major or study pre-law. In my Honors English III class, we have been studying some attributes of modern literature. My favorite attribute of modern literature is “the use of such structural approaches to experience as psychoanalysis, myth, the symbolic apprehension and comprehension of reality.” In short, this attribute is the exploration of the mind of a character in the literature. Myths, symbols, and basic psychology is used to figure out the character.
