영문 초록

  The purpose of this paper is to investigate the correlation of literary text and psychoanalysis. According to Freudian term, Urszene(in English, primal scene) means the first witness of sexual scene of parents, which might function as vital psychoanalytic clue to neurosis that is evident in Woolfman"s case. In his case, Woofman shows severe neurosis in adulthood but ？ propos apr？s coups Freud, the analyst could trace Woolfman"s first witness of parents" sexual scene and castration anxiety through the medium of screen memory.
  In contrast with Woolfman"s case, Joe Christmas in William Faulkner"s Light in August was abandoned as an orphan by his own grandfather. At the age of 5 he witnessed the sexual scene of dietitian and a young doctor at an orphanage and he expected a whipping as usual but instead he got 1 dollar from her. As a result, he suffered great confusion because of lack of punishment that he had expected. The very sense of dislocation and confusion triggered later abhorrence against women and feminine sexuality.
  In several important episodes in Joe"s rootless and wandering life I can trace the impact of the primal scene and related psychological trauma in Joe"s psyche. By juxtaposing two primal scenes and two persons" psyche I can explore a profound vehicle to enrich the meaning of literature.
