Re/Creating Communities

Address in a well-developed and thoroughly supported essay of 1800-2200 words: Re/Creating Communities: From a psychoanalytic perspective, compare and contrast the ways in which two characters (or speakers) from different works connect with or depart from the expectations and values of their communities: society as a whole, a family structure, a friend group, or an identity group. Why are (or aren’t) the characters’ decisions to connect to or depart from the community wise? What do the characters’ choices in this area reflect about the functions of their tripartite psyche in specific instances? How do the characters’ self-perceptions change, and what role does self-perception play in their connections to or departures from their communities?
