Provide a psychoanalytic explanation of the dynamics between the narrator’s mother and father. The other men with whom she has flings cannot replace Trevor from her unconscious. She cannot leave him for she is attached to him (he broke her virginity.) Moreover, Trevor is a parental figure to the narrator he is the narrator’s Objet Petit a (in the context of Lacanian psychoanalysis) for a father figure considering that she is orphaned. Psychologically, she considers Trevor to be significant in completing the narrator’s her Self. It was as though he were some divine messenger, my soul mate, my savior.” The narrator begs Trevor to be in her life when she is conscious that he is seeing other women. I could hear his cock harden on the phone whenever I called to beg him to come over and hold me…Then he’d be there and I’d shiver in his arms like the child I still was, swoon with gratitude for his recognition, savor the weight of him in the bed next to me.
The narrator recounts, “After I graduated and was flung into the world of adulthood- already orphaned- I was bolder in my desperation, made frequent appeals to Trevor to take me back. What deductions can you make about the narrator’s Self-Concept based on her relationship with Trevor after graduation?
