Psychoanalysis is a body of ideas developed by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and his followers, which is devoted to the study of human psychological functioning and behavior .Psychoanalysis seeks to explain the complex relationship between the body and the mind and furthers the understanding of the role of emotions in mental development. Jane Austen's novels are much concerned with the exploration of human psyche. Probably the most recurrent theme in her novels is the hazards and complexities of man woman relationship. In her characters we find that Austen's focus is on disintegration in the inner and outer lives of her characters. She explores the deepest layers of the psyche of her protagonists and deals with the psychological problem, which are of the universal order. Jane Austen has given us a multitude of characters. The most important change in all her heroines from Jane Austen's point of view is in her attitude towards herself. The process is slow, but their over inflated ego is eventually reduced to proper size.

Jane Austen is considered to be one of England's greatest authors, second only to William Shakespeare. There are many reasons for her popularity, the main being that at the heart of her stories are themes accessible to all audience, friendship, love, mis-understanding and family. She proposes to undertake neither the philosophical nor the ethical study of man but the psychological and ironic study of men and women. Her writing deals with the inner realities and psychic echoes of her characters. Jane Austen explores feminine sensibility through psychology. In her characters we find that Austen's focus is on disintegration in the inner and outer lives of her characters. Sense and sensibility is a wonderfully entertaining talk of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters: Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. They are contrast: Elinor as the main character, has much sense, but is still immune from disappointments; and Marianne with her doctrines of love at first sight, fervent emotions overtly expressed and admiration of the grotesque, picturesque, and represent the cult of sensibility. Apprehension is an unpleasant emotional experience similar but not incidental to feelings of nervousness, panic, agitation or worry. Apprehension is shown by the author in characters. Conflict is created where the character inside is faced by two or more choices or some difficulties and so the characters become anxious to solve their problems.References
