This thesis explores Briony's individuation and the effectiveness of her redemption in Ian McEwan's Atonement by employing Freud's psychoanalytic theory and Jung's archetypal theory. Joseph Campbell's concept of heroic journey is also applied as a structure to explore how Briony experiences the individuation through her writing and eventually regains her spiritual fulfillment -the self. The thesis is divided into five parts. Chapter One introduces the author and the novel, research concerning the theoretical study of the novel, and theories applied in this thesis. Chapter Two discusses why the thirteen-year-old Briony makes the wrong accusation against Robbie. Freud's psychoanalytical theory of personality and anxiety is employed to explain Briony's mental statement, anxiety, and her relationship with her family. Freud's theory of sublimation is also applied to investigate how Briony uses writing to transform her anxiety into a form of artistic creation. Chapter Three examines Jung's theory of archetypes and individuation to see how the archetypes may affect the individual and force one to embark on the individuation. Chapter Four analyzes Briony's individuation, including departure, initiation, and return, in Jungian idea of archetypes and individuation. Through leaving home and facing reality, Briony realizes her immaturity and makes her redemption -she eventually learns to sympathize with others and returns to the self through writing the book Atonement. Chapter Five concludes the above chapters and discusses the validity of Briony's atonement..
