Mythological & Psychological Relation from Catherine Cookson Novels

An close relation between mythological criticism and the psychological approach is evident in Jung's theory of symbols as both are concerned with the motives that underlie human behavior. Just as the psychological study discloses the individual personality, the mythological study reflects the mind and character of a people.



The symbolic projection of peoples' fears, hopes, values and aspirations are reflected through dreams that evoke the unconscious desires and anxieties.
