Abstract
This paper reads Wordsworth’s poetry from a Jungian point of view, and asserts
that Wordsworth’s poetry focuses on the unconscious and its contents. Turning
one’s back on the unconscious leads to the development of the shadow. We also
contend that Wordsworth seems to urge his reader to turn to the unconscious in
order to integrate the shadow into the conscious—something which helps us have
a more productive, empathic, and healthy life on individual level and more tolerant,
understanding, and peaceful life on collective level.
