| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation is an attempt to study the theme of ‘escapism’ in Driss Ben Hamed Charhadi’s novel A Life Full of Holes (1964).In order to develop our issue, we have borrowed some concepts from Abraham Maslow theory of Human Needs and John Longeway’s theory The Rationality of Escapism and Self Deception . Our reliance on Maslow theory is due to the fact that his pyramid of need has a direct link escapism in the sense that each unsatisfied need leads the individual into an escapist state. The reference to Longeway theory, however, has allowed us to categorize the forms of escapism in Charhadi’s narrative. Our reading of the novel in the light of the Maslow’s theory has come to the conclusion that most of Charhadi’s characters flee their daily realities due to unfulfilled needs. Our reference to Longeway theory on the other hand has served to conclude that in Charhadi’s novel escapism takes two form: rational and irrational. While the former is associated only with male characters, the second is embodied by both male and female characters. | |
