Explores Maureen Folan, in Martin McDonagh's "The Beauty Queen of Leenane," as a psychological borderline, someone who is afraid to achieve a man she can have a relationship with, and so defaults to using him as simply another object she can use in warfare against a mother she is only yet capable of playing at being able to leave behind her.

A Perpetual Search for the Idealized Lost Loved Object: An Object-relations Reading of Ian McEwan’s Enduring Love2014 •
Occasional tension in families springs from power conflicts between individuals of different ages. Psychology has studied the particular tension between mothers and daughters and compiled several observations on it in a theory termed “the mother-daughter bond.” Martin McDonagh’s play The Beauty Queen of Leenane manifests the struggle between a mother and her daughter to claim power and, in so doing, they actively oppress one another until the annihilation of one of them becomes the final consequence of an ongoing circle of abuse. Such dysfunctional relationship manifests the degeneration of the mother-daughter bond and provides an explanation for the brutality of the two central characters in McDonagh’s play.

Investigating Object Relation Theory in Ian Mcewan’s Selected Novel ‘Nutshell’ From the Perspective of Melanie Klein2018 •
Object Relations Theory is a theory of relationships between people, in particular within a family and especially between the mother and her child. In present study, we study the object relation theory in Ian McEwan’s selected novel, Nutshell (2016) from the perspective of Melanie Klein. McEwan’s narrative is sardonic, his characters are of few words and many disclosed intentions. In the context of object relations theory, the term "objects" refers not to inanimate entities but to significant others with whom an individual relates, usually one's mother, father, or primary caregiver. In present study, we investigates concepts of "good object" and "bad object". The good object which then arrives is not the object which did not arrive. Likewise, the infant who destroyed the bad object is not the infant who loves the good object.

Loving Objects“Loving Objects” explores the formation of a newly named sexual orientation, objectum-sexuality (OS), claimed by people who openly declare their desire for objects, not as fetishes, but as amorous partners. The article examines popular media depictions of OS which take a suspicious view of OS, arguing that these are symptomatic of worries about what constitutes proper objects of love in the context of proliferating discourses about emotional and territorial security. Comparing OS to commercial consumption of objects as well as to scientists’ enchantments with their objects of study, the article draws on feminist technoscience studies to argue that OS is not as strange as it would, on first contact, appear. Keywords: objectùm-sexuality, feminist technoscience, intimacy, heteronormative nationalism, security, synecdocal marriage

Objectified Women and Fetishized Objects2021 •
There are at least three senses of sexual objectification: the moral sense of treating a person as if she were primarily a sexual object, the political sense in which women socially count as instruments for men’s sexual pleasure, and the epistemic sense of forming a belief that a person is as one sexually desires them to be. These different senses have been treated as rivals, competing about what the correct account of sexual objectification is, or they have been treated as entirely different projects. I argue for a third relation between them: each sense grasps an aspect of the existing social phenomenon of sexual objectification. Each further points out a wrong involved in sexual objectification. And the three aspects interact—we cannot fully explain any one sense of sexual objectification without the other two. To properly understand this interrelation I lean on an analogy: commodity fetishism as described by Marx helps make sense of the complex social reality of sexual objec...
