Abstract (EN)

Edward Morgan Forster and Virginia Woolf who were modernist novelists that lived and wrote during early 20th cc. They lived in such an age that women, homosexuals and bisexuals didn't have full freedom of self-revelation even to write and express themselves. There was no outlet for them to express their thoughts and emotions. At this point, their novels A Passage to India and Orlando respectively represent a canon of the age of modernism. Regardless of the time, the characters in question achieve catharsis finding an outlet for the writers' wishes under psychoanalytic theories of uncanny, dream and wish-fulfillment. Thereby, they regulate their psychological state with the help of both conscious and unconscious fantasies and aims. Regardless of the personality and gender of the author; the characters find their way to relieve the cathexis embedded in authors' mind via uncanny, dream and wish-fulfillment theories.
