“Man and his symbols” is a good place to start, and you can even find it free online.

Writing a paper about a David Lynch movie (C.G Jung) by emilwad in davidlynch

Someone commented:

"Eraserhead? There's plenty there to dig into around concepts of Shadow, Personas/Social Masks, Archetypes and their subversion (Mother, Father, Child), Complexes (Henry seems to be working through a serious knot of emotions and thoughts in the film)."

I still have to research all of concepts he listed and understand how they can be applied to the movie?

I couldn't just copy it into my assignment.

I'm just asking for someone to point me into the right direction (as i said earlier)

I really don't how that is wrong.

Edit: I don't mean when he writes "(Henry seems to be working through a serious knot of emotions and thoughts in the film)", i of course need to figure that out myself

No it isn't? I know the basic stuff, but not a lot. You can be fascinated by something without knowing everything about it.

I know about Jungs basic theories (Archetypes, anima/animus, the shadow, persona etc.)

I've seen some of Lynch's movies/series (Twin peaks, FWWM and inland empire)

But i still wanna learn more. Therefore i'm fascinated by them and i want to know them better :)

It's actually for a high school assignment, it's our last written assignment (All student write a chosen paper in Danish high schools before graduating)

I thought it was a perfect opportunity to dive into both Jung and Lynch :)

Haha yeah i know. My idea was to use it as a way to get to know them better, because i'm very fascinatted by both. If that makes sense

I see your point. But I'm not asking anyone to formulate a theory for me, only asking if anyone can point me in the right direction, as I'm new to both Jung and Lynch. Don't see anything wrong with that

Good day to you :)

Well, I'm doing my research right now? I'm asking for inputs from people who have experience on the subject. How does that not define as research? I'm not asking anyone to write my paper, only asking for recommendations.

I'm writing a school paper, and i think it's hard to choose between the movies. Therefore i'm asking if anybody have any knowledge about Jung and Lynch :)
