Notes

Abstract: Within two of Joseph Conrad's works, the novel, 'Under Western Eyes' and the short story, 'The Secret Sharer,' the author conveys a psychological dilemma within his characters by subjecting them to specific scenarios in which they begin to question and delve into the deeper realms of their own identities. In these narratives, Conrad embraces the uncharted territory of 'The Self,' employing such narrative strategies as characterized doppelgangers, supernatural apparitions, and fictional identity crises. The author is examining these catalytic mediums of self-awareness together with the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan and numerous secondary interpretations from scholars within the literary and, more specifically, Conradian, areas of academia in order to formulate a conclusive assertion on the nature of Conrad's psychological assessment, not only on a diegetic level but also in reality.
