Abstract

This paper attempted to analyse Munto's short story "Mis Teen Wala" and to show the similarities of Freud's case studies with it. This paper also to explore his concept of human psychology.

He was familiar with concepts of psychoanalysis, and the similarity of this short story with Freud's case histories suggest that he read them. In his writings he tried to hide that his knowledge is inspired by reading psychological literature. He wanted to present that he gained these insight from his experiences and not form some books.

He had a very one-sided understanding of psychological problems in which there was a simple formula “one problem, one cause, and one solution.” This shows a simple mentality without much complexity.

His interest in psychoanalysis also largely explains the abundance of sexual themes in his short stories. But psychoanalysis focuses not only on the raw form of sex but also its elevated (sublimated) forms that are manifest in all civilization, while Munto's attention in sex remained on the description of its raw and crude sexuality. Perhaps this is also a reflection of lack of understanding of complex psychoanalytic concepts on Munto’s part.
