ABSTRACT

The thesis tries to analyze Mrs. Strickland’s marital tragedy in The Moon and Sixpence from the perspective of Jungian archetypal theory. After a careful and thorough study of Mrs. Strickland’s four archetypes: anima (animus), persona, shadow and self, it is found that it was Mrs. Strickland’s self who was controlled by her persona that led to her failure in marriage.
