ABSTRACT
Life is not easy, it is full of pain and sorrow that empties our psyche and forces us to withdraw from life itself. What make it even more difficult is our weak and unreliable experiences of childhood. It becomes difficult to stay alive when existence itself comes as a burden that too without a support system. What breaks our hearts the most and fills them with pain and sorrow is when the objects that are supposed to nourish us abandon us and leaves our undeveloped psyche to bear the pain it is incapable of bearing. This research aims to study the state of deadness and proneness to self-destructive tendencies evoked by the absence of the mother and the maternal environment. It would analyze the narratives of the characters from the movies- A Death in the Gunj, The Hours, and The Seventh Continent and apply thematic analysis and narrative analysis as methodologies.
