Özet:
Many of Ann Petry's texts, latent with elements of Gothicism, reveal the psychological effects of racism and intra-racial discrimination on black men. Using three of Ann Petry's works, her novel The Street and two of her short stories "Like a Winding Sheet" and "The Witness" this thesis will examine the black male characters through the scope of African American Gothicism to demonstrate the disruption of the black male psyche.
There has been much research on the female Gothic in Ann Petry's works but very little on men. Thus, the Gothic genre is perceived to be more feminine. However, this thesis argues that Petry constructs several of her male characters using the Gothic, African American Gothic, to highlight the terror of being both black and male. Using characteristics of the African American Gothic juxtaposed with elements of Carl Jung's psychoanalytical theory, this study deconstructs the lives of men in Petry's novel and short stories to show how their actions and the choices they make are a direct result of a traumatized and disrupted black male psyche.
