Taking grad amer. gothic lit class to fulfill teaching license requirement (30 yrs out of HS)...Thesis (15 pg. paper) = mother daughter dysfunction in Eleanor in haunting of hill house and claudia in interview with a vampire. Because characters have unfulfilled/unmet nurturing needs/Pre-Oedipal, they can't mature (normally). Why does this happen??? Any help would be a God-send! Thanks in advance. Idea had to be "original" but backed up (or not backed up) by other critics, theorists, etc. MLA style.
mother daughter dysfunction in haunting of hill house + interview w/vampir
Oh... so you are looking for mother daughter dysfunction in both of these stories?
Okay, and the specific dysfunction you are supposed to look for has to come from this psychoanalytic perspective? So... well, apparently you are doing this with a psychoanalytic perspective, so what you should do is read some articles about work done with patients who have unfulfilled/unmet nurturing needs/Pre-Oedipal, and can't mature normally.
What articles can you read about this subject?
That is the key, right there. Hone your writing skills by paraphrasing meaningful segments of articles about this kind of dysfunction. Just go to a database and do a search for:
