Started with Lacan's mirror-image theory, the thesis is mainly study the "Lover's image" which created by Duras and the writer's psychological reason of repeated changing the image. The "Lover's image" created by Duras mainly experience three changing stages: from the , which created an ugly "Lover's image" to the handsome "Lover's image" from , and at last it becomes a stronger image from the last "Lover's novel": < L'Amant de la Chine du Nord >. So "Lover's image" is stronger and stronger through the three lover's novels. But from the truth in the diary which is Duras self-written, the first image of lover which is an ugly image of lover, is most closely to the writer's real history. Then at the agedness of life she rewrote the memory which has turn the money trade into an impressive love memory. Duras created another different life for herself to forget the truth, from the mirror-image theory we could analyze writer's psychology use the "mirror" theory which was taken to rebuild "herself" and use the "image" theory to describe her narcissism self-love. The faultily image of writer is the important reason for her to start writing. And the mirror-image theory is almost corresponded to Duras's writing psychology. The desire of writing is from writer's integrity psychology , and the "mirror-image" theory is agree with this mental character, so the meaning of Lacan and Duras's writing psychology is worth to study. The next contention is meaning of "absolutely love " in Duras's novel: the writer was trying to find something to fill up the ugly truth of her story, to conceal her lover, her family, and her "real love". With Lacan's "mirror-image" theory, we could dig out the writer's psychological appeal, and from Duras we also could understand Lacan's philosophy "truth". So Duras becomes the best object to analyze by Lacan's theory, and it will be a very valuable process for me to do the research.
