This study illuminates Professor St. Peter’s orphancy, orphanophobia, and various aspects of emotions of deprivation occurring in his heart on the basis of modern definitions of an orphan. He, among the family, is superficially not an orphan, but suffers from a sense of emptiness owing to his family members who are indulged in materialistic desires all the time. For the reasons his ego lacks and depression is getting deeper, so he constantly tries to meet his real self, Jung’s the Self. Looking back on the dead Tom, his twin image, he sticks to his old house which proves his persona and evokes the Blue Mesa making him overcome his own loneliness and hollow feeling. That is, Tom is the reflection of the shadow and anima according to the theory of Jung’s Individuation. Ultimately this work is identical to the Jungian theory, process of self-realization pursuing the Self. Hence Professor St. Peter has successfully experienced significant changes that have him face his life wholly through his own inner differentiation by taking courage for the future.
