Hwang, Byeong-hoon. “The Significance of the Fantasy of Punishment as a Defence Mechanism to Survive Fear.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 33.4(2007): 163-180. Wordsworth’s achievement through The Prelude is that his conscious mind not only admits the existence of an unconscious realm, but it also consents to join in the exploration and revelation of the experiences which it had itself repressed and earlier denied. His fear is the main threat which his ego has to deal with. His fear was specifically a fear of punishment. That fear was consciously experienced only after the death of his father. What he, as a boy, feared was a fantasy of punishment. He knows what this fantasy means for its real consequences in psychological and creative development as the poet. His desires were so repulsive to something in his mind that the boy needed chastisement for them. His conscience was his super-ego which has taken the place of his father for which he must wish to become free. (Yonsei University)
