Fenomenul proiecției în cuplul literar din La Grandiflora. Actul nevrotic și refularea în nuvela lui Gib Mihăescu.

In La Grandiflora, Gib Mihaescu builds the characters' identity by mentally deconstructing them, employing lucidity (the result of an acerbic, obsessive introspection), in constant competition with the phantasm which dislocates reality and hijacks the banal events, recomposing them according to the criteria of an alienated psychology. The characters' deeds are born in a captivity of primitive emotions. Thusly, the literary couple becomes an association of vices and complexes, a negative transference of states converging to neurosis. The main character induces, against the background of his wife's jealousy and unfaithfulness, similar anguish to the other male characters by bringing disrepute to other wives. A deliberate contamination, in the attempt to vilify women, with the aim of rehabilitating his wife and saving their marriage. The erotic transference, negatively connotative, is a pattern that, apparently, leads to trivial literature, but the insertion of mystical and mythical symbols transfigures the short story artistically. The voluptuousness of the displaying the self, the engine of this universe altered by the interference of a moral code, leads to the emergence of the demonic double. Strain alternates with relaxation, unrest becomes calm, and the visceral revolt emerges and disappears contextually. There is a mystifying game that poisons and, eventually, reality reinstates, in the spirit of righteousness, the trust in a general redemption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
