Yoruba mind

Psychology deals with the aspect of the individual’s mind that reveals his thinking. Psychoanalytical study of literature, therefore, is concerned with the way the writer thinks in his creative perception of the world and the events around him. This concern is in tandem with New Historicists’ view that the literary text does not exist in a vacuum, and therefore, the writer thinks he draws on what he already knows about the world around him, which he shuttles and rearranges to come up with his own derivative creative reality.
