„Mnogo razuma – potpuno ludilo“: Šizoidna ličnost u Hemingvejevom „Rajskom vrtu“

Th is paper offers an analysis of two characters, David and Catherine Bourne, in Ernest Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden. The characters are analysed through R.D. Laing’s concept of ontological insecurity. The aim is to show that both these characters exhibit schizoid personality traits, as defined by Laing, however, it is only Catherine who is represented as mad due to her gender reversals. David, on the other hand, despite being involved in their gender reversals, remains “sane” because aft er getting involved in the sexual/gender experiments with Catherine, he succumbs to the demands of the dominant sexual politics.U radu se analiziraju glavni likovi Hemingvejevog romana Rajski vrt, Dejvid i Ketrin Born. Likovi su analizirani kroz Leingov koncept šizoidnog poremećaja. Analizom se želi pokazati da oba lika ispoljavaju karakteristike šizoidne osobe, onako kako je definiše R. D. Leing, ali samo Ketrin biva prikazana kao takva zbog eksperimentisanja na polju seksualnosti. S druge strane, iako i Dejvid učestvuje u istim eksperimentima, on ne biva prikazan kao šizoidna osoba jer se ipak povinuje zahtjevima društveno prihvatljive seksualnosti
