A work of psycho-analysis puts itself at the orders of precisely the highest and most valuable cultural trends, as a better substitute for the unsuccessful repression. While the work of Wordsworth is actually going on, his wishes are destroyed by the rational mental activity of the better impulses that are opposed to them What he have to get rid of is to a great extent only the consequences arising horn earlier stages of the ego`s development. Repression is replaced by a condemning judgement carried out along the best lines. A work of psycho-analysis not only makes itself become possible for the unconscious instincts revealed by id, ego and superego that works in the mind of a poet but also enables his wishes become useful purposes. A child should take his parents as the first objects of his love. But his libido should not remain fixated to these first objects; later on, it should merely take them as a mode, and should make a gradual transition from them on to extraneous people when the time for the final choice of an object arrives. Wordsworth learned to live with the fact of his mother`s loss and to compensate for his loneliness by finding in solitude his intimate and affectionate relationship with Nature. His unconscious feelings, protected into Nature and enacted, were given expression and found relief. To the extent that the child found contentment in his activities he could seem whole to himself and at home where he felt his heart was, in Nature. In this way, the trauma of separation and the loss of the true love were expressed in denied form, in activities fixated upon repressed experiences. Fixated activities will decide whether advance in the developmental path of the libido is to fail. If frustration and attraction in reality which opposes the new object-choice and reduces its value for the person concerned are sufficiently strong, the general mechanism by which the neuroses are formed comes into operation. In The Prelude, the poet is unconsciously compelled to return to infantile trauma. Unable to ignore the disturbance he continues to feel about loss and growth in his own past, he unconsciously expresses the doubts he feels compelled to deny, and still achieves m lasting composure. In observing what Freud called the fantasies and conflicts of the Oedipal period of growth, it seems there must be Wordsworth`s need to deny all loss that forced upon him. So he could not but create his work, The Prelude, as a mental production, not an autobiagraphy. Consequently there is a young poet standing alone in the middle of his ordeal in our minds forever. Because his repressed unconsciousness is influenced by invisible reality in his mental activities that is the pursuit of wholeness.
