remains perhaps the most popular Japanese novelist after Natsume Soseki.
Choosing Tanizaki?s work was led by the climax of the main male?s depression
his marriage life with an Electra-complex and fetishist girl named Naomi.
Suffering in his marriage, Joji tried to overcome problems occurred. The thesis
writer applies anxiety in the first place, and then defense mechanism: repression
and denial by Sigmund Freud, from an intersubject perspective, takes shape in
formative intersubjective interactions in which particular experiences are treated
as unspeakable. Psychoanalysis is believed to be the most useful in dealing with
ingrained problems of intimacy and relationship and those problems in which
established patterns of life are problematic. Depression comes next after the ways
of the main male character?s defense mechanisms failed. Finally, the writer may
conclude that Joji?s problems which are his anxiety caused by Naomi?s attitude,
and his defense toward it, have bring him to a major psychological disorder called
depression.
