| الملخص: | Some characters of Greek mythology illustrate various aspects of maternal destructivity. Though the fantasy of cannibalistic incorporation of the infant is quite common – particularly in fairy tales – the destructivity which really threatens the baby is of a different nature. The child is first of all an alien and maybe a threat to the mother’s mental life. Parental separation may arouse the uncanny. Winnicott considers that the mother must love her child enough. For Lacan a relationship lured in a mirror image leads to hatred. From hatred of the child’s otherness to its imprisonment in the maternal world, the figure of a mother who cannot let the child live touches on the taboo of incest. |
