The Thrill Of Psychological Novels For Readers

By Patrice McCoy


Psychological novels depict what motivates characters to act in a certain way, and not just the sequence of their actions. They highlight the thoughts, feelings and drives of a character instead of dwelling on the resulting action. They draw attention to the fact that external events are generated by the emotional and psychological state character exhibits. This is an important property that authors use to impress the reader.

Writers meticulously study the character's personality to give a good picture of the inner ethical struggles that they go through. This involves a thorough analyzing nature of humans and the moral conflicts attributed to the human race. Here, writing is a skill that calls for a careful examination involving subliminal as well as the unconscious aspects of the mind.

Several techniques are used by psychosomatic novel authors to illustrate the internal state and emotions of the character. These include internal monologues, flashbacks and stream of conscious technique. The authors present a blend with mental process possessed by fictional characters usually as unpunctuated form of interior monologue. They give the characters point of view by writing their thought process which differs from dramatic monologue where speaker addresses the audience in third person.

These techniques used in mental writing illustrate how the human mind works. It also enables readers to access the inner most thoughts of characters. The readers hence are able to understand and relate to the characters. The novels address social, emotional, political and spiritual issues that affect the human race.

William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a characteristic example of mental inscription in dramatic form, while Samuel Richardson's Pamela is a key example of a mental novel.
