Abstract

The research paper explores the psychology behind impassive and traumatic relations in Tehmina Durrani’s autobiography My Feudal Lord (1991) in the light of Freud’s Psychoanalysis of conscious and unconscious mind. It also discusses the role of id, ego and super ego to shape the personality of the major characters. My Feudal Lord is a narration of Tehmina Durrani’s distressing and ghastly experiences when she was married to Ghulam Mustafa Khar. The thrust of the paper is to eke out the stark depiction of vacillation in chameleon-like relationships and the psychology behind them. A true  marriage, one of strong social bonds that cherish love and trust in the couple and subsides animal instincts but in a mismatched  marriage these instincts become dominant in support of id that lead the individual as well as society towards declination.
