Post-war/ Modern Society And Crisis Of Identity In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) And Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925)
Résumé: The present dissertation aims at analyzing the way F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) represent their respective societies, the American and the English, in the aftermath of the Great War and illustrate the lack of identification. To reach our aim, we have compared the two works using the New Historicist Approach, Freud’s concept of “repression” and Roy Baumeister’s Escape Theory. The study underscores the fact that the two literary works are the product of their time. It also demonstrates the traumatic effect of war including loss, disillusionment and psychological unrest in the two novels. Finally, it explains the way individuals sought to escape the social oppression and the norms imposed by the Post-War Modern American and English societies. People escape from their true selves, adopt new behaviour and different personalities to fit the social standards.
