قراءة نفسية في شخصية الطفل رواية الدار الكبيرة لمحمد ديب أنموذجا

Abstract

Through my study, i concluded that psychological reading in literature is a critical approach used to analyze literary texts and understand their symbols and meanings from a psychological perspective. It also focuses on analyzing characters through their internal conflicts and psychological complexes. The colonial reality, or the French occupation, appears as an internal constraint that penetrates the psyche of the characters, as we noticed in the character of Omar. The psychological reading revealed the transformation of Omar’s character and how he became a model of the child forced into early awareness. In this novel, the writer Mohamed dib did not merely portray the child’s life, but he also depicted the process of psychological development under social and political oppression. Omar lives in a state of inner turmoil and psychological alienation – not only from his society but also form his own childhood. The novel is a precise depiction of the formation of the self under psychological pressure, where all his pain – from anxiety, emotional deprivation, and repression – turns into internal psychological conflict. This conflict pushes him toward deep contemplation about his reality and his society. Thus, the child Omar in the novel serves as a reflective mirror of Algerian society during the colonial period.
