Moreover, psychoanalysis shows ‘that the instinctual representative develops with less interference and more profusely if it is withdrawn by repression from conscious influence.
2.3.2. Repression
• ‘The young woman herself had not lost the thread’ and ‘confessed to disappointment,’ while Marcher ‘flattered himself’ in blissful ignorance. (738-9)
• Their encounter at Weathered ‘affected him as the sequel of something of which he had lost the beginning.’ (738)
• She confronts him with his own idea, that seemed to be ‘too deeply buried’ (742) in his unconscious: ‘‘You said you had had from your earliest time, as the deepest thing within you, the sense […] that you had in your bones the foreboding and the conviction of’ something terrible, that …show more content…
This is why he believes the beast to be ‘something terrible’ and ‘monstrous’ and not suitable for lady to be involved in; he states, ‘I only think of it as natural. […] The thing itself will appear natural,’ although he believes it will appear strange to May because it is not her repression and thus he doubts May’s wisdom and ability to objectively deduce Marcher’s state of mind and feeling because she is a woman.
9. Like May and Marcher, the id is removed from the boundaries of society being socially unacceptable and repressed, and the narrative also reflects this by negating background information and Edwardian materialism.
10. The beast is not representative of the ‘id’ but the sublimation that represses the ‘id’ drives (Allison, 2014).
11. Marcher’s anxiety and obsession with the beast thus represents the energy of the ego, whose job it is to keep at bay the unruly instincts of the id and translate them into reality in acceptable ways, in accordance to the heteronormative ways in which society has been structured.
12. However, it is important to recognise therefore, that Marcher’s conscious awareness of ‘the beast’ and the anticipation of its encounter is an anxiety of the ego’s ability, or rather inability, to control and translate the id suitably for reality (Beasley & Bullock, 2013).

Interestingly, the ‘original motive’ of the gathering at Weathered was to enjoy ‘the fine things, intrinsic features. Pictures, heirlooms, treasures of all the arts the guests were too occupied with ‘dream of acquisition’ that Marcher felt indifferent and ‘lost in the crowd.’ Moreover, according to characterisation Marcher and May show up perpetually to be looking for past or missing times alongside an endeavour to attach the past with their present. In this connection, Bloom & Hobby (2010) affirms that for a pioneer story trying to place "everything in the psyche," memory, past close by present experience… memory turns into a crucial organizing the brain, ready to travel through from "mechanical progression and the abusive control of the clock". This is all that much valid on account of The Beast in the Jungle. The all-inclusive part of time has been completely disregarded by James to alter the examples in an association which limit or surpass it on account of controlling destiny. Thusly, James catches the purpose of crossing point of the immortal with time and shows the ability of a clinician well aware of the limitless limit of inner world regarding associating past to the present or even to what's to come. Subsequently the story as a figment of reality, drawing upon Freud's perspective, permits a man to escape frame the cold-bloodedness of time, to perform unreservedly, and at surface structure arbitrarily in the past or even later on (Cole,
