| Description | The question, appropriate to early childhood, of whether life without mother is possible remains a lifelong burden for soul murder victims. This burden is clearly evident in the autobiographical writings of the great French author Jules Renard, a playwright, novelist, and memoirist whose work has been comparatively neglected in the English-speaking world. Renard shows the terrible ambivalence of the victim of soul murder toward the perpetrator. This chapter discusses the psychopathology that was the subject of so much of Renard's life's work may have hastened the destruction of both life and creativity. Some creative individuals, like most of the subjects of these chapters, can master part of their conflict by externalizing it in their work and so transcend or attenuate it transiently. The mother of his childhood dominates the novel Poil de Carotte, the one-act play of the same name about the family at the time he was sixteen years old, and the last play he finished, La Bigote.
