Abstract
Given the socio-psychological dimensions of Murdoch’s novel
Nuns and Soldiers, I propose Jung’s archetypal-grounded model
focused upon the unconscious psychic structure of the
individual, and Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory model based on
his constructs of guilt, anxiety and aggressiveness. Together,
they grant us two significant entry points into the complex
minds of Murdoch’s characters and their intensively colored
life-experiences.
Keywords: Murdoch, socio-psychology, Carl Jung, G. A. Kelly,
archetype, shadow psychology, individuation, persona, Personal
Construct Theory, Aggressiveness (Kellian)
