THE IMAGE OF THE TRAUMATIC HUMAN IN THE NOVEL TOI NGOI DAY CHO CON BAO TOI OF NGUYEN HAI NHAT HUY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The image of a traumatic human is not only a literary signal of an author or an age, but also an aesthetic drawn from life. Applying the theory of existentialism, psychoanalysis, and intertextuality, this article studies the manifestations and causes of trauma psychic through the novel Toi ngoi day cho con bao toi of Nguyen Hai Nhat Huy. The paper compares facts and data in the text and reality. The results show that behind these trauma psychics lie the reverse side of urban development in the 4.0 Age. Recreating life by recognizing the pain, Nguyen Hai Nhat Huy has shown a unique way of thinking, rich in association and artistic expression of personality and novelty.
