ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the drama of Medea—perhaps an embryonic terrorist—though without making lengthy comments. Medea is characterized by the superhuman hate that follows the deep humiliation she suffers because of her relationship, her love for Jason. The chapter provides a faster and a more significant rupture between the forms of social living and the representations that such living requires. Terror refers to an image of excessive energy that overwhelms the self like a flood. It is linked to pathologies such as anxiety neurosis and actual neurosis. The development and operation of an apparatus are the subject of study of Freudian metapsychology. The Heart of Darkness offers people a metaphorical approximation to the Company where it all begins, with the savages, the employees, and with Mr Kurtz. Following the French psychoanalyst Andre Green, people have abandoned the idea of limited cases defined by clinical phenomenology to cross the threshold of the metapsychological reflection of psychic limits.
