Abstract

A literature response to Lacan's concept of the objet petit a - the imaginary “object-cause” of desire, which accounts for certain consciousness and unconsciousness of Scarlett for her pursuit of Ashely. And then I explore the Lacanian dimension of phantasy and gaze appear in object a to elucidate the inner object-cause of desire of Scarlett in order to demonstrate the lack and loss deep in her mind of symbolic castration to her mother.
