Object of the Study
Thus the argumen runs, the notion of penis envy need not to be taken as simply concerning the male physical organ itself what ever might have
been Freud‟s intentions, but as concerning what organ as an emblem of social power and the advantages which go with it. Barry, 2002: 131
The notion of penis envy unveiled the condition where women had no authority or concern toward their own body and social life, therefore the condition
is called social castration, “which signifies women‟s lack of power” Barry, 2002: 131, place and time also influenced on how feminism shown the condition of
being shaped. According to Freud, the unconscious has taken a great contribution in the
development of human‟s behaviour and thought beyond the reach of human‟s conscious, the unconscious is determi
ned from human‟s social experience, such as repression, desires, conflict. The development of the unconscious was built within
the stage of social parenting in the family, driven by desire, pleasure, fear of loss and repression. Fear and desire are condensed into a single dream which
connected human behaviour and thought in the frame of conscious mind. The purpose of dream and condensation above is to put the materials of desire to be
modelled into something which images, symbols, and metaphors can representate it and tranlate it into languages.
The purpose of devices like displacement and condensation is two fold. They fashion this material into something which can be represented in a
dream, that is, into images, symbols, and metaphors. Barry, 2002: 99
Freud believes that dream is an ultimate desire which representates safety condition, memories, and fears all of them and wrapped and covered in the
shadow of conscious mind, with such condition like that dream is related to the
dressing style of human unique thought to behave more like someone else. The feeling of desire, being afraid, experience is difficult to take down, the only way
to get through with it, is by eliminating it from the conscious mind and strenghtening the faith of dreams or desires. However it will remain in the
unconscious thought and there is always a return of those feelings which are repressed.
The representation of characters and events are proven in literary ways, both of them are made to comunicate each other, avoiding indirect meanings and
representing the essence of meanings from the time, place, and person applied. The Freudian interpretation is seen to be more rational rather than simply things,
interpretation tends to elaborate the sexual conotation in the objects and transforms it into the representation of images and dreams.,
A final example of important Freudian terminology is the dream work, the process by which real events or desires are tranformed into dream images.
