Abstract

This paper explores the psychological depths of the Bollywood film "Animal," employing Jungian theory and feminist critique to analyze its themes of disturbed interpersonal relationships, childhood trauma, misogyny, and the portrayal of women. We delve into how characters grapple with their shadow selves, seeking validation through destructive cycles of violence and the desperate yearning for belonging. The film's reliance on stereotypes and its glorification of violence is also examined, raising questions about its overall message and potential societal impact.
