A Study of socialization in Anita Desai’s “Clear light of Day”

Abstract

In Freud's mind theory, the Id, Ego, and Superego were all intertwined to some extent. The idea of awareness and truth were intertwined with the ego's sense of self. The ego is the component of the human being that makes rational judgments. A person's "superego" is the portion of him or her that is striving for honesty and morality. It is the goal of this research to unravel the psychological underpinnings of Brim. In this book, the author attempts to decipher how her behaviors are the result of her own psychological enslavement as a kid. Unlike many of Anita Desai's heroes, psychological dependency is addressed differently in this novel. Her life and honesty are embraced in this book. At the conclusion of the story, the characters had come to accept their mental and cognitive limitations. She developed into a lovely person as a result of her upbringing and the challenges she faced.
