| Abstract: | Our paper aims at exploring the complex of the shadow, of the ego as the sum of the superficial and abyssal egos of the individual, caught in the trap of a perpetual perilous through his own unconscious – a central leitmotif in Fowles’s work. Nicholas Urfe’s shadow is connected with love, with the necessity to identify him with his feminine counterpart represented by the double Lily-Julie. Fowles is clearly influenced by Jung’s theories about the unconscious and illustrates them in the literary world he creates. |
