Abstract

In the world of the modern American novel, the study evokes the ego to burrow through the deep structure of the human psyche. It strives to be aware of the nature of the American individual’s behavior that helps bring to light the implied connotations of modern American fiction through its characters’ action. It attempts to stir natural wishes which are deliberately repressed by societal restraints, and to examine the voice which is often muted by authoritative culture . However, this never lasts longer; the wishes are refreshed , and the voice speaks up again when both are released from the egoic control. The suppressed desire is found in Morrison’s Beloved ,which lures readers to trace the psychodynamic role of their ego, of what this ego puts forth to hopefully find adequate solutions, , though temporarily, through striking a bargain, and making peace with their force, namely the unconscious. Beloved’s people believe, as Freud does, that their behaviors are an output done, not by the autonomous ego, but rather by an integral relationship of the ego-unconscious structure since the latter has a powerful influence which their egos never resist. Concerning the muted voice, it turns to be ironic in Baldwin’s Go Tell it on the Mountain. Baldwin’s hero ,John ,calls for abandoning radical ideologies that institutionalize a fake identity. Baldwin’s work suggests that identity is neither the biological attributes of the individual, nor a static concept, but it is changing within a dynamic process of such event that takes place in the positive creation of the relationship between the individual’s ego and context.
