A Piteous Victim——An Exploration into the Psychological Trace of the Grandmother in The Acorn-gatherer

On the perspective of psychoanalytic criticism,three human psyche models propounded by Freud,Jung and Lancan were employed to reveal the psychological trace of the tragic character,the grandmother in The Acorn-gatherer.Back to the country life in late Victorian England,a lonely elderly widow had to bring up her illegitimate grandson,but her grandson couldn’t bear her mistreatment,left home and died accidentally.The old grandmother bore the hardship strenuously but had to live her old and ailing days lonely which is like a candle guttering in the wind.Deluged with the social discrimination and bias led by the collective unconscious,her help doesn’t come from anyone in the utilitarian oriented grass roots.Nor does it come from the Lord’s real redemption owing to a country woman’s limited knowledge and inwardness.Under the great strain from the grey society,she was gradually distorted mentally.As a result,she was victimized by the grey tide of the society but she herself was a victimizing force to her grandson.The psychological exploration of the piteous victim can thoroughly interpret the author’s implication,i.e.condemning the evils of the society and man’s wicked nature.

A hymn to agni—The god of fire

We humans are perennially searching for new sources of energy. This is because we are puny creatures but our dreams are big. Our physical prowess is limited, but we want to move mountains, change the course of rivers, and fly to the stars. We need a genie to come out of the proverbial bottle at the flick of a finger and do our bidding! Energy is such a genie and we never seem to have enough of it. This article is devoted to a short history of our search for new sources of energy including the latest quest-to light and sustain starfire (the fire of nuclear fusion) in the laboratory. This search has led to several encounters with Agni, the Lord of Fire in one of his manifestations, in fashioning fuels for storage and future use or in burning up fuels for energy release. As we trace this history, we stand in awe of Agni and his various manifestations and cannot help but follow our ancestors in singing a hymn in his praise-hence the title of this article.

This paper intends to analyze Cahan’s attitudes towards assimilation and modernity and how he builds up modernity for all of the Americans.

Through the composition of this work, Cahan tried to spread the Jewish culture on the one hand, and on the other, he warned the peripheral that it was difficult to be assimilated without disasters even if they had made contribution to the formation of modernity.
