Fear and Anxiety in the Novel: A Case of Exploding Mangoes

Abstract

    This research investigates the atmosphere of anxiety and fear as prevalent in the novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Muhammad Hanif. To execute the current study the researcher applied Freud's theory of personality development and psychoanalysis. The major character of the novel General Zia ul Haq exercised his strong power and controlled the Government of Pakistan by the takeover of the military forces till his death in an air crash near Bahawalpur. The various conditions expose the level of anxiety he was suffering from. General Zia ul Haq's rising tone and anger well portray his psychological condition while giving orders to his Generals on different occasions. The study also exposes and makes it clear that ordinary people living in society are dragged by the drastic, unfavorable and most stressful conditions to face fear, stress, depression, and anxiety.
