【正文】 subdued, seemed like the elder of two: almost like a priest with a young girl pupil. And that was rather how he Under Lawrence’s pen, he describes the son and mother like a priest with a young girl pupil, which shows that the relationship between mother and son is just like that between two lovers. They are so on intimate terms with each other. And through the second person Ciss’s eyes, Robert and Pauline were so happy together. And Ciss saw the eyes of Robert which he fixed on her mother, his eyes fascinated, full of shame. He was fascinated by his mother. He was pletely fascinated. Ciss loved Robert and she must tell him this. Only Pauline went to her bedroom and went to sleep, Ciss would go to Robert’s room. She told him that was wrong and she wanted to be much closer to Robert. But Robert even could not do it, because he pletely lost himself in her mother’s charm, but he only felt confused. 10 3. Pauline’s Attitude to Ciss and Love between Robert and Her In Pauline’s eyes, Ciss was not indispensable. Even with Ciss she did not trouble to keep up the glamour, because Ciss had been thirty years old and she was just dependent on her. Sometimes Pauline just thought that Ciss was a troublesome for her. However, that was just such a person who was in love with her son Robert. Firstly, to Pauline, her attitude to Ciss was not pleasing to look at. When Pauline, Robert and Ciss were at table to drink a bottle of champagne, ―to Pauline, her niece Ciss was an appropriate part of her own setting, rather than a distinct consciousness.‖9 So in fact, Pauline did not care about the love between the two young people. Secondly, when Pauline knew that Robert had some feelings to Ciss, she thought that Robert didn’t have his sense. In one day, through her aunt Pauline’s thought transference。 poor thing, she looked so woebegone afterwards! Wanting her and not wanting her, you got yourself into that perplexity, my dear. I only warned you. What else could I do? And you lost your spirit and died without ever knowing me again. It was bitter, bitter— ‖6 8 Pauline tells the truth in her sleep talking， In the Freud’s book Interpretation of Dreams, Dreams, are all forms of wish fulfillment — attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past (later in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud would discuss dreams which do not appear to be wishfulfillment). Because the information in the unconscious is in an unruly and often disturbing form, a censor in the preconscious will not allow it to pass unaltered into the conscious. So Pauline suffered by the death of Henry, but she still could not control the feeling of herself to her sons. Her abnormal love contributes to Henry’s death. And she couldn’t enjoy a good sleep either. And she is even afraid that anyone would know it. So she does not allow anyone to go to her bedroom. It occurs to Ciss that why nobody can enter Pauline’s bedroom even Robert, why Pauline never take a nap in a chair and never have a peace in anywhere. But only when she rouses herself to be alert, she will talk to herself. She is not crazy. But she cannot stop do this. Even Pauline’s Jocasta plex caused the death of Henry, but after Henry’s death she lays this feeling on her second son Robert, which makes Robert unable to have a normal relationship with other girls. And after Robert is in love with Ciss, they even could not have a normal development in their love relationship. One day, when Ciss asked Robert for a kiss, he just kissed her gently on her cheek. There is a conversation between them two: And sit with me sometime in the garden,‖ she said, murmuring with difficult, ―won’t you?‖ He looked at her anxiously and searchingly. ―What about mother?‖ he said. Ciss smiled a funny little smile, and looked into his eyes. He suddenly flushed crimson, turning aside his face. It was a painful sight. ―I know,‖ he said, ―I am no lover of From this conversation, it shows that Ciss wanted to have a much closer relationship with Robert, but Robert has a big worry, which is his mother. That’s why Robert is deeply controlled by his mother. 9 2. Pauline’s Attitude towards Robert Henry’s death did not e to her senses, but she regards Robert as the substitute of Henry. And her control also makes Robert rely on her. Before Robert goes back home, Ciss always watches the eyes go haggard and old and tired, and remain like that all the time. But until Robert came back, Pauline’s eye would shine and her face would go taut。 he pays all his attention to his mother, drawn to her as a humble flower to the sun and even sometimes he is not aware of that there is a Ciss, and that is something wrong. But this was the relationship between him and his mother. C. Definition of Jocasta Complex In his theory of psychoanalysis, Freud introduces the term ―Oedipus plex‖, which was defined this abnormal love from son to mother. But this love must have two aspects. On the one hand, it’s from mother to son。 so bright and kindly and yet subtly mocking, like Mona Lisa who knew a thing or From this, we can see that Pauline is a lovely lady but who has abnormal felling to her own son. So it leads to Jocasta Complex. She is a mother who always shows her niceness and wonderfulness to her son, and she wants to control her son because of her abnormal love to her own son. Furthermore, in this short story, there is another important protagonist, who is Pauline’s niece Cecilia. Everything about Pauline that can not be accepted by the normal people is told by Ciss. So Ciss in the novel is playing a role of teller of Pauline’s secrete. The whole story’s plot is told and controlled by Ciss. S
