Through the creation of identity‚ the individual is able to separate his

The Graduate The 1967 film‚ The Graduate‚ staring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft contains a plethora of human idiosyncrasies that would be of the utmost interest to the psychoanalytic minds of both Freud and Lacan. For this reading‚ I will focus on the theories of both Freud and Lacan in accordance with textual evidence to prove that Benjamin Braddock never achieves happiness in the end of the film‚ but has only just prolonged his quest to fight a miserable human existence.
