This book explores the way in which doubling takes place in several
novels, films, and dramas, primarily focusing on modern drama and
exploring how five Greek myths - Oedipus, Narcissus, Dionysus,
Orestes, and Demeter - inform the literature. Taking a
psychological/mythical approach, this book explores the inner
divisions that lead to boundary loss and the search for the self
that may lead to boundaries found. The contention of the book is
that the oedipal search for self has been replaced in modern
literature by individuals caught up in a narcissistic culture.
Katherine H. Burkman explores plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles,
Euripides, Henrik Ibsen, Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett, Harold
Pinter, David Mamet, Sam Shepard, Marsha Norman, and Will Eno.
