Abstract

Today’s man is drowned in the end of dark world, but he has always tried to heal his personality and existence gaps. The concept of a creator of valuable works with genius can assume wide dimensions. From this point of view, Anna Gavalda, the contemporary French female writer, has been able to portray the relationships between people, which are the shape of human life in her works. Since the family is the meeting point of people’s psychological gaps that later become evident in the heart of the society, it doubles the importance of examining this place through the works of Anna Gavalda. In this sense, we intend to explain the following subjects through the psychological of approaches of Julia Kristeva. First, how did the author address the roles of mother and father in her works? In what dimensions can the negative and harmful results of shaky relationships within the family appear in Someone I loved? On the other hand, what are the bright aspects of the father’s presence in the children’s lives, and what is the author’s strategy to make life meaningful, in a novel Hunting and Gathering? Reading the author’s works encourages us to think more about family misunderstanding, intergenerational conflicts, emotional wandering and shaky human relationships. In the sense, it portrays the real reflection of the current life of contemporary man, which could be the key to solve the problems that every family struggles with on a daily basis.
