Abstract From the perspective of Freud’s personality structure theory, this thesis analyses the consciousness development in The Marriages between Zones Three, Four and Five written by Doris Lessing. With a vast, dimly discernible strange space as a writing background, Lessing records the progress of zones three four and five from isolation and hostility to intermarriage and unity with each other. In this progress, people’s consciousness keeps developing and improving. This thesis aims at studying the consciousness development of characters in the novel from the id, the ego and the superego in order to point out that with the constant development of consciousness, people are gradually beyond the id and the ego and eventually achieve the superego. Therefore it can be seen that The Marriages between Zones Three, Four and Five aims to elucidate these characters have the courage to break the bonds of convention and try to recognize, realize and surpass themselves in pursuit of freedom, equality and happiness. Until now many domestic scholars have spared no efforts to research the novel mainly from the perspectives of gender harmony and ecofeminism, but only few of them have studied the novel from Freud’s personality structure theory. As a result, the thesis opens a new world for the research of the novel as well as attracts more attention to Doris Lessing and her space fiction. In addition, it also shows the importance of consciousness, encouraging people to raise their own consciousness and strive for self-fulfillment, self-transcendence and liberty and happiness of lives.60787
