PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Kai Barboza

Hello everybody. My name is Kai Barboza and the book that I have analyzed is 1984 by George Orwell. This book is about the protagonist's struggle against the oppressive regime of Oceania.

How can being ambivalently attached to something lead to becoming a martyr? (Psychological)

From this book, I was able to derive the essential question, "How can being ambivalently attached to something lead to becoming a martyr?" This answer was driven from the fact that from a psychological standpoint the protagonist is ambivalently attached to fighting his oppressor. Therefore it was only logical to question how the protagonist's attachment lead to him risking his life to stop his oppressive masters.

One-Person and Two-Person Conceptions of Attachment and Their Implications for
Psychoanalytic Thought

Through my research, I have researched several different ways of trying to answer the question raised from George Orwell's 1984. From my research, I have discovered that a person can become attached to something resulting in one of three different types of attachment. The first type of attachment is a secure attachment. This is where the attachment helps to benefit the person who is attached. Another type of attachment, that I researched, is avoidant attachment where a person tries to avoid what he or she is attached to. Also, another type of attachment is ambivalent attachment where a person hates what he or she is attached to. These classifications were concluded from the Paul Watchel article, "One-Person and Two-Person Conceptions of Attachment and Their Implications for Psychoanalytic Thought".

Within this article, Paul Watchell describes attachment theory and the effects of attachment on a person. In the report, Watchell describes the aforementioned types of attachment. Afterwards he describes the affects of these attachments on a person's mental well being at the time a person becomes attached and later in a person's life. He concludes, after expressing the results of attachment, that attachments restructure a person's mind in order to remain attached to an attachment.

This declaration of attachments affecting a person's mind to restructure itself is most evident in the 37th paragraph of the report. On the first line of the 37th paragraph, Watchel explains the significant role of mental structures present in a person's subconscious, "All these theories are constructed upon the key psychoanalytic idea of enduring unconscious structures..." (Watchel). Therefore he says that since attachments affect the structures of a person's subconscious it will heavily affect a person's actions and thoughts. Thus he concludes that attachments may cause a person to do anything to stay attached.
