dc.description.abstractThis article is about two characters: Anna Claude a Jewish lady and Camilla, a French woman, in the novel Tu t’appelleras Tanga by Calixthe Beyala. The two of them symbolize broken dreams, because they expected to find happiness in Africa with the men who pretended to love them but abandoned them. As consequence of their failed relationship, they succumbed to madness. This article inquires if their mental weakness and behaviours as adults were due to childhood conflicts like Sigmund Freud postulates in his psychoanalytic theories, in which personality, variance in the use of sensory organs and socialization as adult cannot be dissociated from childhood. According to Malinowski, social institutions structure personality. In reality, the author does not only propose pathological causes, but she makes use of expressions like “paranoia, psychosis” that connote sickness. The analysis of the novels reveals the diagnosis of the illness of the characters, which has been caused by deception, desertion, poverty, abject misery and lack of visionary leaders who by their influence could salvage the situation. The approach adopted has prompted the propositions that could modify behaviours and also lead to a sane society.en_US
