Author(s) MARYAM NADEEM AWAN

Abstract Title: From Attachment Disorder to Perpetration: A Psychoanalytical Study of Narrative Identity in Netflix Original You and 13 Reasons Why This thesis examines the concept of Narrative Identity and its relationship to individuals who engage in harmful behaviors, the perpetrators. It focuses on the characters Joe Goldberg from the series "You" and Bryce Walker from "13 Reasons Why" to investigate the influence of Reactive Attachment Disorder on their actions. By integrating micro- level perpetration experiences into their narrative identities, the study aims to understand the complexities of their behaviors and moral development. Drawing on Finkel and Straus' categorization of perpetration, McAdams and McLean's theory of narrative identity, and Freud's concept of the unconscious mind, the research explores how attachment disorders in early childhood overshadow the identity development of perpetrators in the selected texts. Furthermore, it observes the changes in the behaviors of Joe Goldberg and Bryce Walker throughout the series. Additionally, the study examines the differences in the treatment of the perpetrators and the focus on their lives between the novels and their visual adaptations.
