Abstract:
This humble work studies Cormac McCarthy’s The Road from a Freudian psychoanalytic approach. It exposes the shift of balance in the human psychic triangle as the superego and the ego weaken and the id thrives. Following Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis, the present work has disclosed the prevailing issues that the novel tries to reveal, and how the content can be used as an instrument to reinforce, promote and contest perseverance in a world full of darkness
